Sub: Universal Account Number (UAN)-provisionof portability services- Reg.
Dear Employer,
You are aware that EPFO has rolled out UAN programme and has
disseminated the allotted UAN to EPF members through the Employer portal.
The main objective of implementation of UAN programme is the extension of
effective services to the members. It is a healthy assumption that the employers
would extend full support to EPFO enabling us to provide world class services
to our members. To commence the effective delivery of services through UAN
portal, Hon'ble Prime Minister has agreed to launch the UANprogramme with
the following servicesr-
a) Portability of Universal Account Number.
b) Downloadable UANcard.
c) Member's balance through updated e-passbook,
d) Confirmation through SMS & e-rnail for receipt of monthly
contributions and other important events.
2. It is important to note that an Universal Account Number (UAN)becomes
portable only when it is seeded with KYCs i.e. Bank Alc No., PAN, Aadhaar
duly verified by the employer with his Digital Signature Certificate. It is noted
that a large number of KYCs uploaded have not been digitally verified by the
employer. I request you to ensure that the KYCsin respect of all the members
of your establishment are uploaded and digitally approved to enable the
members to avail the portability facility. The processes to seed KYCdetails in
UAN database and to trigger portability process have detailed under 'VAN
services at EPFO website'.
3. The member would get access to a downloadable dynamically changing
UAN card and updated passbook along with the portability facility if he
activates his registration through UANbased member e-sewa on EPFO website
[Link]. As this activation process registers the mobile number
and e-mail of the member, the details of receipt of remittances are sent through
SMS and e-mail on his mobile number and mail Id respectively. It is noted with
concern that while the KYC upload by employer has been satisfactory, the
activation of member portal has been very low. This status defies logic as the
very purpose of UAN is to benefit EPF members. I therefore urge you to
disseminate the Universal Account Number (UAN) to your employees
immediately and guide them to activate their accounts. The detailed process
flow has been detailed under 'VAN services' on EPFO website.
4. EPFO has embarked upon this journey of extending effective & efficient
services to the members and the role of employers in the endeavor is second to
none. I expect full support. Your suggestions are welcome at e-mail Id:

Regards,
Yours sincerely,
