UAN verification (Universal Account Number) is a process that is used to verify the authenticity of an employee's UAN number. UAN is a unique 12-digit number assigned to every employee who contributes to the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) in India.
- The unique UAN remains the same until the retirement of an employee.
- UAN is essential to check the credits and debits in the PF account.
- Through UAN, individuals can withdraw and transfer funds without relying on the employer.
- With UAN, employees can track monthly deposits. However, the respective employee has to be registered on the EPFO.
