I am unable to locate my salary slips and I cannot find ‘know your UAN status’ with PAN link on the epfindia portal so I could not give that a try. You mentioned that I can know my UAN by visiting the regional office, kindly advise on the documents I will need to obtain my UAN.

      • Every PF account number will have a UAN. You can check your in-service history on the UAN portal website.
        If you have multiple PF numbers or UAN numbers then transfer those PF amounts to your latest PF account. Then all your PF accounts will be merged.
