Question

    Which of the following identification number is used by EPFO for EPF contributions?

    A PAN Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Aadhar Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C PRAN Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D UAN Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Employee ID number Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    For all Employee Provident Fund (EPF) transfers, it is mandatory for an employee to have a Universal Account Number (UAN), which is allotted by the EPFO.  It is a 12 digit unique number assigned to an employee. The UAN of an employee remains the same throughout his life irrespective of the number of jobs he/she changes. Every time an employee switches his/her job, EPFO allots a new member identification number or EPF Account (ID), which is linked to the UAN
