In below, I will explain you the procedure to download EPF Passbook and UAN Card online instantly using EPF UAN Unified portal.
1) Visit the EPF UAN Unified Portal. The home screen looks like below.
You have to login by using your UAN number and Password. If you forgot the password, then click on “Forgot your password” link to reset.
2) Once you login to your account, then the screen looks as below.
In this screen, you can now easily download EPF Passbook and UAN Card online instantly by clicking on the links as shown in above images.
3) The link to download the EPF Passbook will look like below.
4) The link to download/view EPF UAN Card will look like below.
5) Along with these, there are three tabs next to “Home”. They are “View”, “Manage” and “Account”. You can do below activities under each tab as I shown in below images.
# View Tab
You can view your complete profile details like UAN number, name, date of birth and also contact details. In service details, you can view the all EPF number details linked under that UAN (including whether you are eligible for pension or not).
# Manage Tab
Here you can change your contact details like email and mobile number. Remember that they send you the authorization PIN before the data get updated. Also, you can check the KYC status related to UAN. This includes the data like the expiry date of documents you submitted for KYC purpose.
# Account Tab
This tab is meant to change your password.
In my view, this is the big move for all UAN holders to know about their EPF details. However, the biggest hurdle of this portal is that it will be down for some time. Hence, it may irk many of us.
I am not sure why EPFO not taking this as a serious issue and manage the portal like Indian Railway’s IRCTC.
