EPFO UAN: KNOW How to Check, Generate and Activate Universal Account Number for Provident Fund - Follow these SIMPLE steps here
UAN stands for Universal Account Number to be allotted by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
Provident fund is probably one of the best and reliable investment options for the long term for any employee. This government-managed retirement savings scheme allows employees to contribute a part of their savings each month towards their pension fund. The amount can be accessed by the employees as a lump sum at the time of their retirement or after the period of employment. To make the process of managing your PF account easier, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had introduced the Universal Account Number (UAN).
This number can be generated from the EPFO website and acts as an umbrella for multiple member IDs allotted to an individual by different establishments. Earlier, the employees had to apply for UAN through their employers. However, now the PF account holders can generate this number online through the official EPFO website.
