How to Generate UAN Number for EPF
How to Generate UAN for EPF
When an employee joins the service sector for the first time, the employer has to get the UAN generated for him if the company has 20 or more employees. In case a UAN has been assigned to the employee in the previous organization, he has to furnish the details to the new employer. In order to get a new UAN generated for the employee, the employer has to follow these steps:
Login to EPF Employer Portal using the Establishment ID and password
Click on the “Register Individual” tab in the “Member” section
Enter the employee’s details such as PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, etc.
Approve all details in the “Approval” section.
A new UAN is generated by EPFO and the employer can link the PF account with UAN of the employee.
How to Know Your UAN
Once the UAN is generated and EPF account is linked with it, the employer generally provides the UAN and PF details to the employee. However, you can easily find out your UAN in a few simple steps mentioned below:
Visit EPFO Member Portal to know your UAN.
Click on “Know your UAN“
Enter your registered mobile number, captcha code and click on the button “Request OTP”
Enter the OTP that you receive along with a captcha for verification.
Enter your Name, DOB, Aadhaar/PAN/member ID and the captcha for verification and click on “Show my UAN” to know your UAN.

Visit EPFO Member Portal and click on “Activate UAN”.

Your UAN will be activated and the password will be sent to your mobile number
