How It Works
Almost every standard Indian salary slip includes two crucial identification numbers related to your retirement savings: the Universal Account Number (UAN) and the Provident Fund (PF) Account Number. Understanding these numbers is essential for tracking and managing your EPF corpus.
The UAN is a unique, 12-digit permanent number assigned to you by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). It remains the same throughout your entire career, regardless of how many times you change jobs. The UAN acts as an umbrella for multiple member IDs allotted to you by different employers.
The PF Number (or Member ID) is specific to your current employment. It is an alphanumeric code that identifies your EPF account with your current employer. When you switch jobs, you get a new PF number, but it gets linked to your single, permanent UAN. You can use our tool to extract these numbers from your slip, which you can then use on the EPFO portal to check your balance, download passbooks, or initiate transfers.
