What is a UAN number?

With the help of this number, the facilities of EPFO can be used online.  UAN number allows an employee to view the passbook of his PF account online, as well as check his PF (Provident Fund) balance online and update the name of the Nominee.

Who puts money in an EPF account? 

Under the EPFO Act, 12% of the employee's basic salary is deposited in the EPF account. The employer (company) also deposits 12% of the basic salary of the employee. Out of 12% of the company's liability, 3.67% is deposited in the employee's PF account and the remaining 8.33% is deposited in the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS).
