UAN number explained: How to find and use your Universal Account Number
Key Takeaways
UAN number is the unique identifier with which employees manage multiple EPF accounts under a single ID.
- Employees can find UAN through their employer, the EPFO portal, the UMANG app, SMS, or missed call services.
- UAN simplifies PF transfers, withdrawals, and balance tracking, eliminating manual interventions.
- EPFO services are easily accessible online, making provident fund management more efficient.
UAN or Universal Account Number is a unique 12-digit number assigned to every employee paying their contribution to the Employees Provident Fund in India. EPFO has brought out the UAN, which facilitates managing many EPF accounts in one single UAN number to make it convenient to access employees’ provident fund savings.

What is UAN number?
The UAN number is the unique identification number for all EPF accounts, which means an employee does not have to manually transfer balances whenever he changes jobs. It reduces the hassles of changing jobs for employees. Irrespective of the number of times a person changes his employer, the UAN remains the same, and new EPF account numbers are linked to the same UAN.
Important features of UAN
- Portability: It remains the same for different employers.
- Access to EPF: Allows employees to check their PF balance, withdraw funds, and update KYC details online.
- Simplified transfers: No need for manual account transfers.
- Improved security: Reduces fraudulent claims and unauthorised withdrawals.
How to find UAN number?
Many employees ask, “How to find my UAN number?” Here are the simple steps to retrieve it:
1. Check with your employer
Employers usually provide UAN details on the salary slips or HR portals.
2. Retrieve UAN on the EPFO portal
If you are unable to find your UAN, here is what you should do:
- Open the official website of the EPFO portal: https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/.
- Select ‘Know your UAN.’
- Enter your registered mobile number to get verified through OTP.
- Insert your Aadhar, PAN, or member ID.
The UAN number will appear on the screen before you.
3. Use the UMANG app
- Download the UMANG app from the Play Store/ App Store.
- Go to EPFO services and click on ‘Know Your UAN.’
- Enter the asked details and get your UAN through SMS.
Your UAN is the key to your access to your EPF savings.
How to utilise UAN for EPF benefits
Once you have your UAN number, you can log in to the EPFO Member Portal and avail all these services:
- Check EPF balance.
- Update KYC details.
- Withdraw EPF online.
- Track transfer requests.
- Download UAN card and passbook.
Manage your EPF savings better with a digital savings account
While UAN simplifies your EPF management, having a reliable savings account ensures easy access to your funds. Many employees choose a digital savings account for seamless online transactions, easy fund transfers, and higher interest rates on their savings.
With an IDFC FIRST Bank digital savings account, you get a secure and convenient banking experience that perfectly complements your EPF savings. Whether you withdraw funds, transfer them, or want to grow your savings, a digital savings account ensures quick and efficient money management. With a digital savings account in IDFC FIRST Bank, you enjoy one of the highest interest rates in the industry with monthly interest payout that boosts your financial growth. In addition, you enjoy zero-fee banking on all common savings account services, including debit card & DD issuance, chequebook reissuance, free unlimited ATM withdrawals and a lot more.
Conclusion
Having the knowledge and understanding of UAN numbers, an employee can properly manage EPF savings. Fund transfer provision, facilitated by the ease and simplicity offered by online accessibility, increases financial security through UAN. An account in the digital space, like the one IDFC FIRST Bank has introduced, means higher returns, easy access, and secure transactions in EPF withdrawals and savings. Take control of your financial future with the right tool in your possession.
