Introduction

The Universal Account Number (UAN) is an identification number assigned to every registered member of EPFO. Issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the 12-digit UAN serves as your ID for the Provident Fund. You can only have one UAN during your service tenure. The UAN links and unifies all your EPF accounts to ensure easy access and work. 

With the UAN Member E-Sewa portal, you can easily access all the services related to your provident fund account. It is a robust online facility that helps employers and salaried employees conveniently manage various PF account activities. You can use the UAN portal for the following:

●    Fulfilling KYC guidelines to get registered on the portal.

●    Keeping track of payment flow from your EPF accounts, etc.

Once registered, you can easily enjoy all the online facilities related to EPF account management, payments, employee EPF account contributions, etc. To register your organisation on the EPFO member portal, you must perform the following UAN login steps:
