UAN KYC update: add bank, PAN and Aadhaar to your EPF account
KYC links your bank account, PAN and Aadhaar to your UAN. You add it yourself on the EPFO member portal.
The short answer
Log in to the EPFO member portal with your UAN, open Manage, then KYC, choose the document, fill in the details and save.
Your request stays pending until it is approved. When it shows Digitally approved by the employer, the KYC is done.
Bank, Aadhaar and PAN in KYC are needed for online claims.
Govt License never asks for your Aadhaar number or OTP. Only download from official sites. We do not download anything for you, and you never type personal details on our site.
Steps
- Open the EPFO member portal unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in yourself and log in with your UAN, password and captcha.
- Open the Manage menu and choose KYC.
- Choose the document you want to add, such as bank account, PAN or Aadhaar.
- Fill in the details exactly as they are on the document and save.
- Check the status on the same page. It stays pending until it is approved. Digitally approved by the employer means it is done.
Keep ready
- Your activated UAN and password
- The mobile number linked to your UAN
- Your bank account number and IFSC
- Your PAN and Aadhaar number
Good to know
- Aadhaar, PAN and bank details are all linked on the portal. Never share them or an OTP with anyone who calls you.
- A PIB release says employer approval for adding bank details was removed from April 2025, so bank details may be approved faster than other KYC.
- You cannot file an online claim without a verified bank account.
Problems and fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| The KYC stays pending | Your employer has to approve some details. Ask your employer to approve it on the employer portal. |
| Name or date of birth does not match | Corrections to your name or date of birth go through your employer. Ask your employer to submit the correction. |
| You cannot log in because the UAN is not active | Activate your UAN in the UMANG app first. The member portal no longer does it. |
