Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

Here’s a handy guide to help you understand your PF (Provident Fund) — whether you’re just getting started or planning a withdrawal.

:small_blue_diamond: What is UAN?

UAN (Universal Account Number) is a 12-digit number issued by the EPFO. It remains the same throughout your career, regardless of how many jobs you change.

:pushpin: What You Need to Have:

1.Mobile number linked to your Aadhaar/PF account

2.Name and DOB exactly as registered in EPFO records

3.Access to receive SMS (for OTP)

:white_check_mark: I’ve created and uploaded a simple PDF guide with steps to help you find your UAN (Universal Account Number). This is especially useful for those who may not be aware of the process.

If you’re trying to find your UAN (Universal Account Number), there are a couple of easy ways that have worked for me and others in similar situations. One common method is to log in to the EPFO Member Portal. If your mobile number is linked to your PF account, you can use the “Know Your UAN” option under “Important Links.” You’ll just need your Aadhaar or PAN details.

Alternatively, if your employer uses greytHR, you can often find your UAN in your payslip or under the “PF” section in the employee self-service portal. I’ve used that route before, and it’s usually very straightforward.

Hope this helps!
