UAN Help

About this unofficial UAN guide

इस अनौपचारिक गाइड के बारे में

Last reviewed: 11 November 2026

UAN Help is an independent website at uan.in.net. It explains the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s Universal Account Number in plain language: what the number is, how it is activated, how KYC and the passbook work, how a balance moves after a job change, and how the 2026 withdrawal and interest rules apply. It is an unofficial guide and is not affiliated with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation, the Ministry of Labour and Employment or UMANG.

Who we are

The site is published as a reader’s guide, in the same spirit as other plain-language explainers of public schemes. It is not a member portal, not a passbook, and not a claims counter. The wordmark is “UAN Help”. It does not use the EPFO emblem, the organisation’s logo, or a copy of the official login screen. Correspondence about the guide goes to [email protected].

Not affiliated

Nothing on uan.in.net is an EPFO service. Official services are on epfindia.gov.in, the Unified Member Portal, the passbook host and UMANG. Helpdesk 14470 is EPFO’s number as printed on the member-portal notice, not a number operated here. If a sentence on this site and a sentence on the official portal ever disagree, the official portal is the one that can change a member’s account.

How facts are dated

Rules on these pages were checked against official material with a review date of 11 November 2026. That includes the member-portal notice on UMANG activation, PIB Release ID 2120326 (9 April 2025) on face authentication, PIB Release ID 2136592 (16 June 2025) on transfers, KYC and free services, PIB Release ID 2314111 (23 September 2026) on the ₹25,000 wage ceiling, the EPF Scheme, 2026 (G.S.R. 525(E), 29 June 2026) for contributions, interest, partial withdrawal and final settlement, EPFO’s declared-rate orders through FY 2025-26, and the Income Tax Department’s published notes on section 192A. Each page carries its own last-reviewed line. A later gazette, circular or portal change can overtake a paragraph. The calculator says so when it reuses 8.25% for a year that has not been declared.

What we do not collect

There is no account, no login and no payment. Pages do not ask for a UAN, Aadhaar number, PAN, bank account, phone number, OTP or password. The interest calculator and the withdrawal checklist run in the browser. The figures you type are not sent to a server and are not stored as a member record. The checklist’s PAN question is yes or no, not the number. There is no passbook lookup, no KYC-status lookup and no claim-status lookup.

Corrections

If a cited figure does not match the official source named next to it, write to [email protected] with the page address and the official document. Corrections are about the guide. They are not a way to file a claim, merge two UANs, or change a KYC record. Those actions stay on the official portal. The legal limits of the guide are on the disclaimer. The short answers are on the FAQ, and the worked rupee examples are on the interest calculator.
