EPFO member portal: Generate, check and activate your UAN from phone

EPFO member portal: The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) issues a 12-digit UAN who has an EPF account. It's very important to remember the UAN as the number remains the same if you change the organisation. With this single number, members can download or print their passbooks, get their UAN cards, and check all member IDs that are linked to them anytime they desire.
