UAN stands for Universal Account   Number to be allotted by EPFO. The UAN will act as an umbrella for the multiple Member Ids allotted to an individual by different establishments. The idea is to link multiple Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) allotted to a single member under single Universal Account Number. This will help the member to view details of all the Member Identification Numbers (Member Id) linked to it. If a member is already allotted Universal Account Number (UAN) then he / she is required to provide the same on joining   new   establishment to enable   the   employer   to   in-turn   mark   the   new   allotted   Member   Identification Number (Member Id) to the already allotted Universal Identification Number (UAN).
