EPFO launched providing Universal Account Number (UAN) to its members. This will be one of the major steps EPFO provided. With this facility one can download online passbook, update their profile, transfer account or view previous details.
Latest News-
Universal Account Number or UAN act as a unique number to each member under which you have multiple IDs allotted by your employer will be tracked. Suppose if you join a new company then you just need to submit a UAN number to your employer. You can now get this UAN number from your employer. Because allotting of UAN already started.
The main purpose of this unique number is to provide access to employees to have a view of his/her profile and access the services like viewing profile, changing profile, download online passbook, or request for transfer. To avail such facilities you need to create a login by visiting UAN Homepage. Follow this LINK to verify whether UAN is allotted to you or not.
The advantages of creating Login to UAN
From now on you can directly download or print the passbook by UAN Portal. Once you login to account, then there is a section for download. From there you can easily download the PDF format of passbook.
As I said above, you can download your UAN card, also by clicking on a download link on the website.
Here you can check out your previous member ids allotted by your previous employer. This simplifies your EPF details also to check whether the particular account is eligible for transfer or not. However, in the future there will be no further member ids. Only UAN number is enough to track your all EPF details.
You can update your mobile number, email id and can submit the documents required for KYC.

Vandana-Yes you can. Use non-Aadhaar based composite claim form.

Swapnil-Do the same by visiting the nearest concerned EPFO.
Respected sir, I am working in MNC and planning to work in college too simultaneously. But the institutions are paying PF. My doubt is. Getting two Pf is illegal or can I work both side. Please advise because I have no idea and never want to do anything against policies. Help me. Thanks

Dear Sir
I have got 2 UAN numbers from 2 different employers upon my job change. 1 is from my 1st employer and another one is from my 2nd employer.
Now I am working with 4th employer and using the 2nd UAN which is latest(Have used the 2nd UAN for 2nd , 3rd and 4th Employers). But my personal details are mapped to 1st UAN and Iam not able to activate the 2nd UAN, as it is giving the exception that the details are already used by other member.
I have dropped a mail to epf department to disable the old one but they directed me to a portal for submission of request, where there is no related option to my case and 2nd option is not valid in my case, as I already withdrawn my accumulates from my first UAN.
Please suggest me how can I disable the old UAN and get the new one activated. Thanks.
Pavan-Refer my recent post "Allotted two UAN numbers -How to merge or deactivate EPF UAN?".
Hi
Actually I have referred the same.
I have dropped a mail to epf department to disable the old one but they directed me to a portal for submission of request, where there is no related option and 2nd option is not valid in my case, as I already withdrawn my accumulates from my first UAN.
Pavan-Reply to the same saying that the option they are referring is not available.
can we delete uan by online(by self) means is there any option in uan account...?
Prashant-I think through your employer you can. But why you want to delete?
Hello sir,
I had an issue with my UAN where in my DOB and name were incorrect.My prev employer was not helping in fixing the issue.So, i got my new UAN created with my current employer.
Could you please guide me with the process for deletion/deactivation of my prev UAN.
