Frequently asked questions

What is a UAN?+

The Universal Account Number is a single PF number that stays with you across jobs; each employer adds a new member ID under it.

What if I have two UANs?+

Tell HR and request the older account to be merged or transferred so your service and balance are combined.

Do freshers need to apply for a UAN themselves?+

No. The employer generates a UAN when enrolling a first-time PF member.
