Updating Bank Details Online in EPFO Account

What is EPF?

EPF or Employees’ Provident Fund, regulated and managed by Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) is a retirement-based long-term savings scheme for salaried individuals to save a little portion of their salary every month. Both employee and employer contribute 12 per cent of their basic salary and dearness allowance into this scheme.

What is UAN?

EPFO members allotted a UAN or Universal Account Number to every PF account holder. This unique code works as a repository and allows these members to access, manage, and modify information on their EPF accounts. Moreover, no matter how many Member IDs have an EPF member they all will be linked to a single UAN to access them easily.
