How to get UAN Missing Details Updated by Employer: UAN stands for “Universal Account Number.” We have created a UAN profile. To withdraw or transfer your EPF account, you have to update your PAN Card Aadhaar Card with your EPF Account (As it is now mandatory to link your Aadhaar Card and PAN Card). But most of the employees can not be able to update their details. They are capable of updating their changed Mobile Number, Email ID, and other KYC documents. But can not update their missing information. To make changes in missing details, the employee can request to the employer. Further, an employer can update the UAN missing details. Updating the missing information does not require the permission of the EPFO Regional office etc.
Check your UAN Profile and Find the Missing Details
You have to visit ‘View -> Profile’ to see your details. Let us take an example of the missing element of the employee’s Father/Husband name and the relation. So, at the time of withdrawal, the employee shows up with the pop-up notification that “Please, update your Father/Husband’s name in member details through your employer or unified portal.”
If you have missed any one of the information (like):
- Name,
- Gender,
- Marital Status,
- Father’s Name or Husband’s Name,
- Date of joining,
- Date of birth, etc
Then you might not update or activate your UAN profile, and hence, you can not withdraw online and update KYC.
Sadly these updates can not be updated by the employee or yourself, but the employer can update the missing details and then approve it.
EPF members can check PF missing details at the UAN portal. In the UAN portal on the right-hand side, we have Member Profile Details to contain the essential missing information there.
You can request your employer to update your missing details. Every employer has the right to add or edit employee’s missing information with the help of the employer portal.
