Easy Steps to Retrieve Your Forgotten UAN Online
The UAN is like a special ID number for your retirement savings account.
If you forget it, you can easily find it online.
You go to a website, enter your phone number, and they'll send you a secret code.
Then you provide some basic info like your name and birthday.
The website will then show you your UAN.
Make sure to keep it safe.
If you don't have one, your employer usually gets it for you.
The UAN is a 12-digit number issued by EPFO that links all EPF accounts.
Retrieval of a forgotten UAN is possible online through the EPFO portal.
Users must visit the EPFO Member Portal and click 'Know Your UAN'.
The process requires a mobile number linked to the EPF account and verification via OTP.
Users will need to enter details like name, date of birth, and Aadhaar/PAN to retrieve their UAN.
