ALL ABOUT Universal Account Number (UAN)

Universal Account Number (UAN) has been made mandatory for all employees covered under Employee Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The Scope of User Manual on UAN Functions issued by EMPLOYEES’ PROVIDENT FUND ORGANISATION OF INDIA reads as follows:-

“EPFO has launched a Universal Account Number (UAN) driven Member Portal to provide a number of facilities to its members through a single window.”


Every employee covered under the Employee Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 is allotted a PF Account Number or Member Identification Number. This number is unique in respect of any organization that employee is working at. But when the employee goes to work for a new organization this number is changed as the organization changes. Hence a new number will be given to him. This creates a lot of confusion.  So UAN will act as an umbrella for the multiple Member Ids allotted to the same individual. The idea is to collate multiple Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) allotted to a single member under single Universal Account Number. This will help the member to view details of all the Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) linked to it. If a member has already been allotted Universal Account Number (UAN) then she or he may provide the same to new establishment/ employer which in turn will mark the new allotted Member Identification Number (Member Id) to the Universal Identification Number (UAN).  

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF UAN (UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT NUMBER) :-

On Registration of UAN the following services will be made available to employee’s:-

  1. UAN card download,  
  2. Member passbook download,   
  3. Updation of KYC information,   
  4. Listing all his/her  member ids to UAN    
  5. File, View  & Transfer claim

The idea is to list multiple Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) or PF NUMBER allotted to a single member under single Universal Account Number. This will help the member to view details of all the Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) and further enable to check the eligibility for online transfer claim through the options ‘List Previous Member ID’ and ‘View Status’ from the Menu ‘Previous Member ID’. In future there is no need to list the member ids as it will be linked automatically on the basis of Form-11 information. Member needs to disclose his/her UAN/Previous Member ID to the new employer through Form-11.


Member can feed the details of his/her previous member id to be linked with UAN. 
  1. The name in the previous member id should match with the name of current member id. Otherwise, system will not allow the member to link the previous member id with UAN. 
  2. The screen above shows the details of the previous member id to be linked with UAN. Member has to tick the check box which says that the information displayed is correct and member account belongs to him/her and submit. 
  3. Once member press the button ‘Submit’, he/she will be asked to ensure through the message. If he/she is sure, can press ok. Otherwise, he/she can cancel it.

                           > CLICK ON SYSTEM GENERATED TRANSFER CLAIM STATUS


When an employee leaves an establishment and joins another, he/she is required to get the funds and service details transferred to the new account. The facility would provide portability from one account to another by linking the different Member IDs, if, the KYC details have been verified by both the employers.

    1. Yeah...the error stating mismatch in data is because the UAN number you are trying to know is not activated yet. Hence, it is throwing an error. And you may be clicking on "KNOW YOUR UAN" option and feeding your details. That option is for finding your UAN in case you have forgotten it and had already activated it. But in your case, it seems you have not activated your UAN in the first place. Hence, you click on "ACTIVATE UAN" option first and feed all correct details available with you and activate by using an OTP generated to mobile number(any) provided by you during activation and click on 'validate OTP and activate UAN' option below. After then, you will be able to see your activated UAN on the screen. Hope this resolves your issue.

  9. Hi...Members with authenticated Aadhaar details seeded against their UAN should try with their name and date of birth as registered in adhadar. Your mobile number is required only to receive an OTP and can vary, no issue for that.
