    • If possible better visit your PF office directly and submit the PF joint declaration form and request a letter to correct your date of birth and link your new mobile number with your PF account.
      But on PF joint declaration form your employer’s signature is required.
      (Or) you can request your PF office directly to link new mobile number with your PF account, after linking you can apply dob correction online on UAN portal.

    tried below way
    Click forgot password, then since I no longer have my old mobile number, I am selection Send OTP as ‘No’. Then filling name, DOB, Aadhar details and submit, It asks Aadhar number again, I submit twice and it still asks for Aadhar number again.
    Could you please guide me to update new mobile number in UAN.

    • Maybe your Aadhar is not linked to your PF account (or) your details on Aadhar and PF are not matching like your name, DOB.
      Hence you don’t have your mobile number with you, you have to visit your PF office and ask them to link your Aadhar with PF, later you can reset your UAN portal password.

  6. Hi Rajesh,

    I am trying the same , but my condition is I don’t have Aadhar or PAN card linked to the UAN. Is there any possibility to get OTP to a different mobile number.

    Reply
    • If Aadhar is not linked then it is not possible to get OTP to another mobile number.
      You can visit your PF office they will link Aadhar with PF, later you can change the UAN portal password by using any other mobile number.

  7. I am facing the same problem. The website also states that there is a option to choose between AAdhar and Pan number to validate but the protal is not showing PAN number option.

  8. I think this EPF website itself is poorly developed. Why wouldn’t it allow Employees to change their Mobile numbers? Of course, there should be some authentication, but no at the cost of having to do a vigorous, lengthy online process.
