If you have changed jobs multiple times and you now have several accounts, you are expected to request Employees Provident Funds Organization to transfer all your previous funds to your current PF account.

In October 2014, this organization introduced a service where an employee can handle all his Provident Funds accounts under one platform. In this article we can see detailed process on UAN Status checking procedure.

This is a 12-digit number that is issued to all employees who are contributing towards their Employees Provident Funds.  The number is given to employees to reduce the work of the employer in handling each employees’ EPF account. Employees find their UAN in their pay slips and if not you are encouraged to ask your Human Resource manager.
