How to generate UAN using Aadhaar?

Please note that the EPFO has now withdrawn the process of generating UAN using Aadhaar. So the below procedure is not valid anymore. 

Now all UAN generation will be done by the employer and then given to the employee. 

For activation of UAN, pl refer –  UAN Activation Procedure

Welcome to this post of UAN generation using Aadhaar by employees.  In a recent update, the EPFO (Employee’s Provident Fund Organisation) said that employees can now directly allot UAN for themselves. In this post, we will discuss the process of how to generate UAN using the Aadhaar for any citizen in the unified portal.

Previously, UAN generation had to be done by the employer only and this had to be done before contributing to the employees’ PF contribution. Establishments with a large number of new joiners are facing difficulties in the generation of UAN. This resulted in mismatches of input data with Aadhaar. In order to simplify this, EPFO launched Direct UAN Allotment Services for employees.

So, any Indian citizen (prospective employee) can generate his/her UAN on the basis of the Aadhaar number.  The introduction of this new Direct UAN Allotment service will save a lot of time. Employees and Employers will both be happy with this service.

We will now take a look at how an employee can generate the UAN number.

Procedure to generate UAN using Aadhaar

Important: For this procedure, you will need your Aadhaar and the mobile number linked to Aadhaar in hand. This is for verification of KYC with OTP.

1.  Go to the EPFO member portal. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you will see “Online Aadhaar Verified UAN Allotment”.  Click on that.
