Here’s How To Activate UAN On EPFO Portal

Universal Account Number (UAN) is the account where employees’ provident fund (EPF) deposits are made. In many companies, salaried employees are given EPF as a benefit that saves taxes and adds to long-term savings. Many employees are aware of money being added to their PF deposits, but don’t often know where this money is and how to access it. To check PF balance, you need to activate your UAN first. This is a fairly simple process that you need to follow if you have never activated your UAN before. Once you activate UAN, you will be able to check PF balance.

How to find UAN

Your UAN will usually be displayed on your payslip. If it is not displayed here, you should contact the finance department of your organisation to find your UAN. This is only applicable to those who get PF deducted from their salary.

How to activate UAN

If you have never checked your PF balance, follow these steps to activate your UAN via the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) website.
