Dear Sumit Kumar Saxena,
Thank you for your query. You are correct; the EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) has indeed simplified the process of UAN (Universal Account Number) allotment, making it easier for individuals to apply directly. Here are step-by-step instructions on how to get your UAN from the unified portal:
1. 🌐 Visit the official EPFO website.
2. 🖱️ Click on the 'Online Services' tab, and select 'For Employees' from the dropdown menu.
3. 🖱️ In the 'Services' section, click on 'Member UAN/Online Service'.
4. 📝 You will be redirected to the UAN portal. Click on 'Direct UAN Allotment by Employees.'
5. 🔡 Enter your Aadhaar number and click on 'Generate OTP.' An OTP will be sent to the mobile number linked to your Aadhaar.
6. 📱 Enter the OTP and click on 'Verify OTP.'
7. 📝 After successful verification, you will be required to fill in personal details. Ensure the details match those on your Aadhaar card.
8. 📨 Click on 'Register.' You will receive your UAN on your registered mobile number.
Remember, your Aadhaar number is required for this process, and it must be linked with a working mobile number to receive the OTP for verification.
Please be aware that misuse of this facility will result in penal consequences under the Indian Penal Code.
If you face any issues during the registration process, don't hesitate to contact the EPFO Helpdesk at 1800 118 005.
