The service works under certain conditions. The user's UAN or Universal Account Number must be seeded into any of the bank account, the Aadhaar or the PAN in order for this service to work, according to the EPFO website. The UAN — allotted by the EPFO — is an identification number that acts as an umbrella for the multiple member IDs allotted to an individual by different establishments.
