I changed my number and my old number is lost and that old number is link with that UAN account so I cant access my UAN account. I tried forget password method but my Aadhaar card is not linked with UAN account. Then I tried with umang app but its asking for old number otp that I don’t have. The problem I want to link my Aadhaar card with that UAN but I don’t have old number. I contacted with epfo center but I didn’t get any solution. So I want any advice for this.

    • You should write a request letter to your EPF office to change your registered mobile number in EPF account.
      After submitting the letter they will update new mobile number in your PF account.

    • When you change your basic details like name or dob using Aadhar then your Aadhar will be automatically linked to your PF account during the process.
      If you want to correct your Aadhar number then you have to write a rquest letter to the PF office.

  6. Hi Team, why does this website make me crazy? After almost three weeks of trying, I still am getting a page loading screen alone. ( After Entered New Bank Details in UAN ) My father had two UAN numbers. There is no cash in First UAN, but the system shows not lined with Aadhar, at the same time there is a Fund in Second UAN. But the system does not allow entering New Bank details. It shows correct bank account details which are linked with First UAN. What to do now….
