UAN Member Portal
-
In summary
Here is an overview of the key services and rules to know when using the UAN Member Portal:
- Universal identifier: Your UAN links multiple PF Member IDs associated with different employments.
- UAN activation: Existing UANs can now be activated using Aadhaar-based Face Authentication through the UMANG app.
- Self-service modules: The portal provides access to KYC management, e-Nomination, Date of Exit updates, claims, transfers and other EPFO services.
- Separate passbook service: Detailed contribution records are available through the dedicated EPFO passbook portal.
- Digital access: UMANG provides additional EPFO services, including UAN activation, passbook access and other member services.
How can you activate your UAN?
The UAN activation process has been updated. EPFO has discontinued the earlier portal-based activation workflow and now directs members to use Aadhaar-based Face Authentication through the UMANG app for UAN activation.
What do you need for UAN activation?
You generally need:
- A valid Aadhaar number.
- A mobile number linked with Aadhaar.
- The UMANG application.
- The Aadhaar Face RD application.
- Access to your smartphone's camera for Face Authentication.
Step-by-step UAN activation through UMANG
- Download UMANG: Install the official UMANG application on your smartphone.
- Install Aadhaar Face RD: Install the Aadhaar Face RD application when required for Face Authentication.
- Open EPFO services: Open UMANG and select EPFO Services.
- Select UAN Activation: Choose UAN Activation under the UAN services available through Face Authentication.
- Enter Aadhaar details: Provide your Aadhaar number and Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
- Verify OTP: Provide the OTP received on your registered mobile number.
- Complete Face Authentication: Follow the instructions to capture and authenticate your face.
- Complete activation: Once authentication is successful, the UAN activation process is completed and EPFO services become available.
EPFO states that the Aadhaar-based Face Authentication process can also support direct UAN generation for eligible users who do not already have a UAN.
What can you do after logging into the UAN Member Portal?

- Links to EPF passbook services.

Benefits of updating KYC details
Verified KYC supports online access to important EPFO services.
The main benefits include:
- Online claims: Aadhaar and bank verification support eligible online withdrawal and advance claims.
- Correct payments: Verified bank details help EPFO credit proceeds into the intended account.
- Account transfers: Matching identity information can reduce problems during EPF transfer requests.
- Tax verification: A verified PAN supports the correct TDS treatment for eligible taxable withdrawals.
- Identity matching: Consistent records reduce rejections caused by different names or birth dates.
- Digital access: Updated details support Aadhaar-based authentication across eligible EPFO services.
- Service notifications: A current mobile number helps you receive OTPs and EPFO messages.
KYC supports account verification but does not replace normal password, OTP, and fraud-prevention precautions.
How can you check and download your EPF passbook?
-
Your detailed EPF contribution passbook is available through the dedicated EPFO Member Passbook service rather than as a detailed ledger on the main Member Portal.
Steps to access the EPF passbook
- Open the official EPFO Member Passbook portal.
- Enter your UAN.
- Enter your UAN password.
- Complete the displayed security verification.
- Sign in to view the available Member IDs and contribution records.
- Select the relevant Member ID to view the contribution history.
- Download or print the passbook where the option is available.
The official passbook portal currently provides UAN and password-based sign-in and also warns members not to share their UAN, password, Aadhaar, PAN, bank details or OTP with anyone.
What information does an EPF passbook contain?
Depending on the account and available records, the passbook can show:
- Employee contribution.
- Employer contribution.
- EPS contribution.
- Monthly contribution entries.
- Interest credited to the EPF account.
- Opening and closing balances.
The exact presentation of contribution and interest information may vary with EPFO system updates.
What should you do if the UAN Member Portal shows an error?
Some portal issues can be related to incorrect member information, authentication problems, browser sessions or pending employer-side processes.
Aadhaar details do not match
A mismatch in name, date of birth or other identifying information can prevent certain EPFO services from being completed.
What to do: Check the information recorded with EPFO and Aadhaar. Where an eligible correction facility is available, submit the required correction through the Member Portal or the applicable EPFO process.
You forgot your password
Use the Forgot Password option on the UAN login page and follow the available identity-verification process.
Keep the registered mobile number accessible because OTP-based authentication may be required.
Session timed out or technical error appears
A session may expire because of browser, network or server-related issues.
What to do:
- Refresh the page and log in again.
- Clear browser cache if necessary.
- Try a current browser.
- Avoid submitting the same request repeatedly.
- Try again later if the EPFO portal is undergoing maintenance or experiencing heavy traffic.
KYC approval is pending
Some KYC-related workflows may require action or verification from the employer or EPFO, depending on the document and current process.
What to do: Check the status shown against the KYC entry and contact the employer where employer-side action is required.
What are the advantages and limitations of the UAN Member Portal?
| Advantages | Operational limitations |
|---|---|
| Centralised access: Multiple employment records can be linked to one UAN. | Technical issues: Members may occasionally encounter session, login or server-related issues. |
| Self-service: Several EPFO services can be initiated online without visiting a PF office. | Data validation: Differences between Aadhaar, bank, PAN and EPFO records can delay certain services. |
| Digital transparency: Members can review service and contribution-related information through EPFO's digital systems. | Process dependencies: Some requests may require employer or EPFO verification. |
| Online claims: Eligible members can submit and track applicable claims digitally. | Separate services: The detailed passbook is accessed through a dedicated EPFO service rather than the primary dashboard. |
How can a Fixed Deposit complement retirement savings?
EPFO provides statutory retirement savings administration, while a Fixed Deposit can be considered separately for savings goals where a predetermined interest rate and defined tenure are relevant.
For example, Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposits currently offer interest rates of up to 7.75% p.a. for customers below 60 and up to 8.15% p.a. for senior citizens, with tenures ranging from 12 to 60 months. The applicable rate depends on the tenure, customer category and payout option.
Key features include:
- Digital onboarding: Eligible customers can open and manage an FD online.
- Defined interest rate: The applicable rate is fixed according to the selected deposit and tenure.
- Flexible interest payouts: Options include monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, annual and maturity payouts.
- Credit ratings: Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposits carry CRISIL AAA/STABLE and ICRA AAA(Stable) ratings.
- Loan against FD: Eligible depositors can access a loan against the FD without necessarily closing the deposit prematurely, subject to applicable terms. The current product information indicates loan amounts of up to 60%-75% of the FD value, depending on the applicable deposit and terms.
Fixed Deposit calculator
A Fixed Deposit calculator can help estimate the maturity amount and interest earned based on:
- Investment amount
- Tenure
- Customer category
- Interest rate
- Cumulative or non-cumulative payout option
For a cumulative FD, interest is accumulated and paid with the principal at maturity. For a non-cumulative FD, interest can be paid at selected intervals according to the available payout options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Overview
Can you change your registered mobile number on the UAN Member Portal?
Yes. Eligible members can update their mobile number through the applicable Manage > Contact Details facility. Authentication requirements may apply, depending on the current EPFO process.
Why can't you access the EPF passbook immediately after UAN activation?
The UAN and passbook services operate through connected EPFO systems. A newly activated UAN or recently changed credentials may require time to synchronise before the passbook becomes accessible. If access does not become available after the applicable processing period, check the credentials and EPFO service status.
How can you file an e-Nomination on the UAN Member Portal?
Log in to the UAN Member Portal and select Manage > E-Nomination. Enter the required family and nominee information, specify the applicable allocation and complete the required Aadhaar-based authentication.
EPFO currently states that e-Nominations can be filed and updated during the service period.
What should you do if your employer has not approved your KYC?
First check whether the KYC request is pending with the employer or requires another action. If the matter remains unresolved, an EPFO grievance can be raised through the official grievance mechanism. Keep supporting documents and the relevant UAN/KYC request details available.
How to upload a document in EPFO?
Yes. EPFO services are available through the UMANG app, including UAN-related services, passbook access and other eligible member services. UAN activation and generation through Aadhaar-based Face Authentication are also available through UMANG.
