How to Update KYC in UAN Portal

Link your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account to your UAN. Resolve "KYC Pending Employer Approval" step by step.

Keeping your KYC updated is a prerequisite for smooth claims. Learn about all related EPFO services and rules on our main guide page.

KYC is mandatory for online PF claims, balance check via passbook, and most EPFO digital services. Without approved KYC, your claims will be rejected.

Step-by-Step: Add KYC Documents

Login to UAN Member Portal

Go to unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in and log in with UAN + password.

Go to Manage → KYC

In the top navigation, click Manage, then select KYC from the dropdown.

Select Document Type

Choose Aadhaar, enter your 12-digit Aadhaar number and the name exactly as on your Aadhaar card. Click Save.

Verify with OTP

An OTP will be sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile. Enter the OTP to verify and confirm Aadhaar linking.

Add PAN & Bank Account

Similarly add PAN number and bank account with IFSC code. These go into "Pending KYC" status.

Employer Approval

Your current employer must approve PAN and bank KYC on their employer portal. Follow up with your HR if stuck. Aadhaar is auto-verified via UIDAI.

KYC Documents You Can Add

Document	Verification Method	Mandatory?
Aadhaar Card	Auto-verified via OTP (UIDAI)	Required
PAN Card	Employer approval required	For claims > ₹50,000
Bank Account	Employer approval required	Required for claims
Driving Licence	Employer approval	Optional
Passport	Employer approval	Optional
Election Card	Employer approval	Optional
Ration Card	Employer approval	Optional

Common KYC Problems & Solutions

Your employer has not logged in to approve your KYC. Email your HR department or payroll team with your UAN and request them to approve KYC on the employer portal within 7 working days.

The name in your EPFO records must match your Aadhaar exactly. Submit a Joint Declaration Form to your EPFO regional office with employer signature to update your name in EPFO records. OR correct the name on Aadhaar at a nearby Aadhaar centre.

Ensure your mobile number is linked to Aadhaar. If not, visit your nearest Aadhaar centre (post office or bank) to update your mobile number. It takes 24-72 hours to update.

Ensure the bank account is active and the name, account number, and IFSC match exactly. Joint accounts are not accepted — use only your own individual account.
