In India, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) manages the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) program for workers in private companies. This program provides employees with a 12-digit unique ID called the Universal Account Number (UAN), which is important for keeping track of EPF benefits and handling Provident Fund (PF) activities.
With the UAN, employees can easily check their PF balance, make withdrawals, and view their account details by logging into the EPFO portal’s UAN Member Login. This article will explain everything you need to know about UAN Login and UAN Member Login.
