Here is How To Create Your UAN Number For PF?
The
UAN, allotted to every member of the Employees’ Provident Fund
Organisation (EPFO), can provide universal access to multiple PF.
Subscribers can link their PF accounts across employers to a single
common account. This makes tasks like online passbook downloads,
balance transfers, credit alerts, updating profile, etc. more
convenient.
You
can get your UAN (Universal account Number) in two ways – one; your employer does the needful
for you. Two, you can generate it from the member portal on the
EPFO’s official website. Considering the chances of errors and the
difficulties that employers face often, it’s better to generate and
activate it yourself. So, here’s all the information you need to
know on how to get a UAN number online. After getting or activating your UAN you can check & transfer
your PF online.
Log
in to the UAN member portal and open ‘UAN Allotment’. Next, enter
your Aadhaar number, and you’ll receive an OTP on your registered
mobile number. Once you’ve submitted the OTP, fill up the details
in the form that appears next and register. As you receive your UAN
instantly, proceed to activate the same. Open the ‘Activate UAN’
link on the same portal, fill up all the details as required and
click on the ‘Get Authorisation Pin’ option.
On
doing so, an authorisation PIN will be messaged to your registered
mobile number. Enter that PIN along with an OTP and click on the
relevant button to proceed. Post activation of UAN, you will receive
the password on your phone number via SMS. Once you know the A-Z about Universal account Number, you can manage your account effortlessly.
