The UAN (Universal Account Number) card is an important document for individuals who are enrolled in the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) system in India. Serving as a unique identifier, it consolidates information from various employers, simplifying EPF management. The card contains essential details such as the UAN, member ID, and personal information. Accessible through the UAN Member Portal, it helps users to check their EPF passbook, update KYC details, and file claims easily. Users can also download UAN card directly from the portal for quick access and official use. This centralised approach increases transparency, reduces paperwork, and facilitates efficient EPF account management.

The registered mobile number should remain active to receive OTP verification during login.
