The Employee Pension Fund Organization has decided to assign a Universal Account Number (UAN) to all members of the Organization. To begin with, the UAN has already been provided to the members who are currently contributing to the fund. Employers can now download the list of UAN numbers and provide it to their employees by accessing the "UAN download list" on the UAN Portal Employer. This will facilitate online filing of transfer requests by members with the aim of making the transfer transparent, efficient and convenient for employees. So to summarize you need UAN for fast and easy online EPF transfer.
The organization has implemented the universal account number or the portability of the PF number. Your employer must give you the universal account number as soon as you get it from the EPFO. You can go and ask the employer for your UAN. But before going to the human resources department, please check the UAN status online from the EPFO portal.
