It enables seamless access to various EPF-related services online. With this number, employees can easily withdraw PF, check their EPF balance, and apply for loans against PF through the EPFO portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This unique 12-digit number that remains the same throughout an employee&#8217;s employment, regardless of their employment changes. It acts as a centralised link for all EPF accounts associated with an individual, simplifying account management and tracking of contributions and benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about <\/span><b>Universal Account Number <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and how it enhances your EPF experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_the_UAN_Number\"><\/span><b>Understanding the UAN Number<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Universal Account Number is a 12-digit unique identification number assigned to employees who contribute to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF). It is issued by the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and authenticated by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When discussing \u2018<\/span><b>what is UAN number?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019, it is important to understand that it remains the same throughout an employee&#8217;s employment, regardless of their employment changes. Whenever an employee switches their workplace, EPFO assigns a new Member Identification Number (EPF Account ID), which is automatically linked to the existing UAN. This ensures seamless management of provident fund accounts, simplifying processes such as EPF transfers and withdrawals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Employees can provide their UAN to a new employer to request a new Member ID, which will then be linked to their existing <\/span><b>UAN<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This system acts as a centralised framework, consolidating multiple EPF accounts under a single UAN. As a result, employees can easily track and manage their retirement savings across different employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Process_of_How_to_Find_UAN_Number_Online\"><\/span><b>Process of How to Find UAN Number Online<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can <\/span><b>find UAN numbers <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using two simple methods: through your employer or via the EPFO online portal.
