Here's How To Activate Universal Account Number On EPFO Portal

The Universal Account Number or UAN has become an essential part of the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) services and can be easily accessed online by account holders. The UAN is basically a 12-digit account number allotted by the Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to every employee where the EPF deposits are made. The UAN makes the process of operating PF account services such as availing PF loans, withdrawal, and checking the EPF balance much easier for account holders. In order to check the EPF balance, account holders need to activate the UAN first. (Also Read: Here's How To Change Registered Mobile Number In EPF Account )
