UAN: What is it?

UAN member portal helps an individual with EPF to connect all his Provident Fund accounts across all the organizations they were employed under. The Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Act of 1952 introduced a saving scheme for salaried employees of companies known as the Employee Provident Fund (EPF). Under this scheme, employees contribute 12% of their basic salary as well as a dearness allowance on which they earn a fixed amount of interest set by the EPFO. In accordance with this, every person who is availing this savings scheme is allocated a 12-digit UAN (Universal Account Number). This UAN helps the employee access the various PF accounts on the UAN member portal. Let’s look at how you can access the basic services such as creating an account, logging in, resetting the password on the UAN Login portal with the help EPF member e-Sewa.
