How to Manage Incorrect or Duplicate UANs in Your Provident Fund Account
Employees who find incorrect or multiple Universal Account Numbers (UANs) linked to their Provident Fund (PF) accounts can take steps to resolve these issues through the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). EPFO offers an online facility to delink wrongly linked Member IDs from a UAN after identity verification. In cases of duplicate UANs, members should identify the active UAN, inform their current employer, and request EPFO to block the old UAN while retaining the current one. Contributions in old accounts remain secure and can be transferred.
