How to Retrieve Your Forgotten UAN Using EPFO Online and Offline Services
The Universal Account Number (UAN) is a unique 12-digit identifier issued by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) that remains constant throughout an employee's career. It is essential for accessing EPF services such as checking balances, filing claims, and updating KYC details. EPFO provides multiple methods to retrieve a forgotten UAN, including an online portal, the UMANG mobile app, SMS, and missed call services, using verification through Aadhaar, PAN, or Member ID.
