The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced the Universal Account Number (UAN) for members. The Universal Account Number is a 12-digit number that each member of the Employee Provident Fund is allotted against his/her name. This number remains constant throughout an employees’ professional life. In case the employee changes his job, he is allotted a new member ID under EPF, however, his UAN remains the same.
Once your mobile number is registered with your UAN, all SMS communication by EPF will be carried out through this number. It is mandatory for new member to register their mobile number when signing up for the first time with the EPFO portal. It is also very easy to change mobile number in an EPF account by visiting the UAN member portal.
