What is the UAN Portal?

The UAN Member Portal, or EPFO Member e-Sewa Portal, is an online platform for managing your EPF account. Your UAN acts as a single account number that remains with you across different jobs.

Once your UAN is activated, you can use the member portal to access your EPF account information and manage eligible services online without visiting an EPFO office.

Some of the key services available through the UAN Member Portal include:

• Checking EPF balance and contribution history
• Downloading the EPF passbook
• Updating KYC details such as Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account information
• Filing and tracking EPF withdrawal or transfer claims
• Updating contact details and registered mobile number
• Accessing pension-related services and e-Nomination facilities

How to Check EPF Balance Without UAN?

Even if you don’t have your UAN handy, you can still check your EPF balance through alternative methods:

• Missed Call Service: Give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number to receive an SMS with your balance details.

• SMS Service: Send an SMS in the format: EPFOHO UAN to 7738299899

(Note: This works only if your UAN is linked to your mobile number, even if you don’t remember it.)

• UMANG App: Download the UMANG app and use your registered mobile number to access EPF services, including balance enquiry.

These options are useful when you don’t want to log in to the portal but still need a quick update on your PF balance.

You can view your passbook, raise a claim, and track your claim status right from your phone. It uses the same UAN and password credentials. The UMANG app is mobile-friendly, easy to access, reduces dependency on the desktop portal, and offers a faster OTP-based login system.
