Universal\nAccount Number (UAN)?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A Universal Account Number, or UAN,\nis provided to every salaried employee who participates in the Employee\nProvident Fund (EPF). Each employee is granted a unique identification number\n(UAN) by the Employees&#8217; Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) that is connected to\ntheir EPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_UAN_Provide\"><\/span>What Does UAN Provide?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Each <strong><a class=\"text-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/epf-registration\">Employee Provident Fund<\/a><\/strong> member is given a 12-digit\nnumber, known as their UAN, which stands for Universal Account Number.<\/li><li>During an employee&#8217;s employment, this number does not\nchange. When an employee changes positions, EPFO issues them a new member ID,\nbut the Universal Account Number (UAN) does not change since it is tied to all\nmember IDs. With this number, you will be able to keep track of all of the\ncontributions to your EPF account that have been made by all of your employers,\nboth current and in the past.<\/li><li>The Employee Provident Fund is now openly accessible to a\nlarge number of workers, including us. With only a few clicks, you may check\nyour balance, transfer funds, or even withdraw money from your provident fund.\nThe consolidation of all of your Provident Funds into a single account is the\nkey to achieving all of these goals.<\/li><li>In the past, it was difficult to monitor the functioning of\nmany pension funds in the event that there were any difficulties associated\nwith pension funds, such as concerns with payments or withdrawals, etc. The\nuniversal account number now combines all of these PF accounts connected with\nseveral ids of various organizations in one location.<\/li><li>With the usage of UAN, an employee may promptly access,\nwithdraw, and transfer money, among other functions, on a single platform.<\/li><li>Understanding your Unique Account Number (UAN) and how it\nties to your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) account is crucial, as a part of\nyour pay is deposited there.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Characteristics_of_Universal_Account_Number\"><\/span>Characteristics of Universal\nAccount Number <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if an employee switches\nemployers, their Universal Account Number stays the same. Every time a person\nchanges employment, they will acquire a new Member ID. A single UAN will\nconnect each of these Member IDs. Employees who change jobs are eligible to\napply for a new Member ID by submitting their UAN to their new employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Following Is A List Of The\nFundamental Parts That Make Up The UAN:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>With the introduction of the UAN, it is now easier to keep\ntabs on the number of times a person has changed occupations.<\/li><li>Only after UAN was implemented was the EPFO permitted access\nto a worker&#8217;s bank and Know Your Customer (KYC) information.<\/li><li>The number of early EPF withdrawals has decreased with the\nintroduction of the UAN.<\/li><li>When it comes to certifying employees, the implementation of\nthe UAN helps to relieve some of the pressure that businesses and other types\nof organizations feel.<\/li><li>Significance of the Unique Employee Identification Number\n(UAN) in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) scheme.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Employee Provident Fund (EPF)\nScheme In India Places A Significant Emphasis On The Universal Account Number (UAN).\nIt Carries Out A Number Of Benefits, Including The Following:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Providing Provisions For The Use Of\nVirtual Services: <\/strong>With a Universal Account Number, users may rapidly access\ntheir EPF account online, check their balance, obtain passbooks, and apply for\nperks such as withdrawals and pensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Connecting More Than One EPF Account:\n<\/strong>A\nUAN enables a person to aggregate their EPF accounts from several companies,\nmaking it easier to track their savings and incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Increasing Transparency and\nEliminating Administrative Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAN alleviates the\nadministrative burden placed on businesses by doing away with the need to keep\nindividual records for each employee&#8217;s EPF account. It encourages transparency\nby letting members see their account information and transactions online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Making the Transfer Procedure\nSimple <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When an employee moves employment,\nthe UAN makes the transition easier by reducing the need for the person to keep\ntrack of various account numbers. This, in turn, makes it easier for the\nemployee to transfer payments and claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_a_Universal_Account_Number\"><\/span>How to Get a Universal\nAccount Number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A company must establish a UAN for\neach new employee if it has 20 or more employees, according to the law. If the\nworker was previously given a UAN, he is required to provide it to his new\nemployer when he starts working there. To establish a new Universal Account\nNumber for the employee, the following procedures must be completed by the\nemployer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>To use the EPF Employer Portal, you\nwill need both your Employer ID and your password.<\/li><li>On the &#8220;Member&#8221; area, look\nfor the tab labelled &#8220;Register Individual,&#8221; and click on it.<\/li><li>Fill in the employee&#8217;s Aadhar, PAN,\nbank details, etc.<\/li><li>In order for EPFO to issue a new\nUAN, you will need to provide your approval to every piece of information\nincluded inside the &#8220;Approval&#8221; section.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The company may also connect the\nemployee&#8217;s UAN to their PF account. If a person has already been given a UAN by\na previous organization and their current employer applies to EPFO for a new\nUAN, then EPFO will provide the existing UAN of the employee rather than\nproduce a new UAN for the employee. But only if the employee has connected his\nUAN to his Aadhar card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Employees may learn their UAN in one\nof two ways: <\/em><\/strong>Employees may get their Unique Identifier Number (UAN) by\ncontacting their employers. Pay stubs may also include the UAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If a worker is unable to acquire\ntheir Universal Account Number from their company, they have the option of\nobtaining it themselves using the UAN site by inputting their Member ID.
