Member UAN activation and KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, bank)

What this means, checked by a CA

Your UAN is your PF account for life, and nothing can be claimed online until it is active and your Aadhaar, PAN and bank are linked and approved. We activate it with you, fix mismatches and chase your employer to approve the KYC.

Questions people ask

  • Can I file a claim without employer approval of KYC?

    Online claims need Aadhaar, PAN and bank linked and approved under KYC.

  • Is face authentication needed?

    Practitioner guides say face authentication is a standard step for some claim processes on the portal and UMANG. Check what the portal asks at the time.

  • I am an NRI. Can I manage my UAN?

    NRIs can use UMANG if Aadhaar, PAN and bank are linked to the UAN; an Indian bank account is preferred.

  • Who generates the UAN?

    The employer facilitates UAN generation for new members using their Aadhaar, PAN and bank details.

  • Does my old nomination still count?

    Under the EDLI Scheme 2026, existing nominations inconsistent with updated family definitions become void; file a fresh e-nomination.
