Sometimes, due to a job change or any other error, the wrong PF member ID gets linked to UAN, i.e., Universal Account Number. This can spoil the service history, and you may face a problem in claiming in the future. Therefore, it becomes very important to correct it in time.

Actually, EPFO ​​started a new facility earlier this year, through which any employee can delink the wrong member ID linked to their UAN online themselves. The special thing is that the process of delinking is also very easy. Let us first know what UAN is and what the loss is if the wrong PF number gets linked to UAN...

First of all, know what UAN is?

Let us tell you that UAN, i.e., Universal Account Number, is a 12-digit unique number issued by EPFO. It is the umbrella number of all your PF accounts. Every time you change your job, you get a new PF number, but the UAN remains the same, and all the member IDs get added under it.

Not only this, your money can also get stuck, and the risk of claim rejection also increases due to this. So let's know how to delink the wrong PF number...
