The Universal Account Number document is very important for a salaried class person. This is required to get details about the money being deposited into your EPF account. It is also required to withdraw money from your EPF account. Every PF account holder is given a unique UAN number so that the account holder can get any information about his EPF at any time and anywhere. The UAN is essential to apply for online PF withdrawal, online PF transfer, Know Your Customer (KYC) update UAN card and passbook.
