UAN Member Portal

Discover how to manage your Provident Fund (PF) effortlessly using the UAN Member portal. This portal allows EPF contributors to access and manage their EPF accounts seamlessly, from checking balances, downloading passbooks, updating KYC details, to filing various claims. In this article, we will guide you on how to find your UAN number, register it and log in to the UAN Member Portal, and utilise the various services available on the platform.

What is UAN Member Portal?

The UAN Member Portal, offered by EPFO, is an online hub for various EPF services. Members can check their PF balances, download passbooks, update KYC, and more by logging in with their UAN and password. The UAN is a unique 12-digit identifier assigned to EPF contributors. The portal also facilitates tasks like filing nominations and online claims in case of a death of the member. To access it, visit the EPFO website or use the direct link to the UAN Member e-Sewa portal. Once logged in, members can view passbooks, download UAN card, and update KYC details.

While the UAN Member Portal helps you to manage your long-term retirement savings, it is also important to consider short-term financial goals. Fixed Deposits (FD) can be a valuable instrument in this regard. FD offer guaranteed returns and flexible tenure, making them suitable for saving towards upcoming expenses or building an emergency fund.
