Reactivate Your Disabled UAN Account With These Simple Steps
If your Universal Account Number (UAN) is disabled and you’re unable to withdraw your provident fund (PF), don’t worry. This comprehensive guide will help you reactivate your account and regain access to your PF funds.
What Is a UAN Account?
The Universal Account Number (UAN) is a unique 12-digit number assigned by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to each employee contributing to the Provident Fund (PF) in India. This number remains constant throughout an employee’s career, linking all PF accounts across various employers. It enables employees to:
Check PF balance
Withdraw PF funds
Transfer PF when changing jobs
Why Was Your UAN Account Disabled?
Your UAN account may be disabled due to several reasons, including:
Incomplete KYC Verification: If your KYC details (Aadhaar, PAN, bank account) were not verified by your employer, your account could be deactivated.
Service Overlap Issue: If your resignation date from your previous job and the joining date for your new job overlap, it can cause a service overlap, leading to account deactivation.
e-Shram Card Registration: If you registered for an e-Shram card while employed, your account may have been deactivated for PF payments.
