How to Merge Multiple EPF Accounts Online: Step-by-Step Guide

Employees with multiple Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts linked to different employers under the same or different Universal Account Numbers (UANs) can merge these accounts online. The process requires an active UAN linked to verified KYC details such as Aadhaar, PAN, and bank information. After submitting the request and employer approval, accounts are consolidated, enabling streamlined pension tracking and faster claim settlements. Those with two UANs can contact EPFO via email to deactivate the old UAN before merging.
