Verify Aadhaar & PAN on the EPFO UAN Website

Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation or EPFO has made it easier for people to link their PAN and Aadhar details with your EPF account. Updating your KYC details is crucial to claim tax deductions. To process those claims conveniently, you must update your KYC details with your UAN (Universal Account Number). After linking your Aadhaar and PAN with EPF account, you’ll need to verify your Aadhaar and PAN  digitally at the EPF UAN website. According to the EPF UAN website, it is mandatory to digitally verify your KYC documents, such as Aadhaar and PAN details, for availing EPF services. In this article, we’ll discuss the procedure of verifying Aadhaar and PAN details in the official EPF UAN website. We’ll also be reviewing the online verification procedure for KYC.

Online KYC Status Verification

KYC refers to Know Your Customer. This is the process adopted by companies, organizations and government agencies to acquire information about the customers or the registered users.

How to Check the Status of Online Verification of KYC

• In the same section, you'll find a section for KYC pending for approval and another for digitally approved KYC.

• The final column under the ‘Digitally Approved KYC’ section is ‘Online Verification Status.’

• After you have completed the verification process, the PAN and Aadhar status will appear as ‘Verified.’

• You must get the following documents approved from respective authorities for supporting your KYC details:

1. Aadhar

2. Bank Details

3. PAN

What Can You Do If Any Information is Missing?

• If you think that any information linked with your PAN/Aadhar is missing, you can add the same using the ‘Add KYC’ Section. After adding the missing details, you can click on the ‘Save’ link.

• After saving all the modifications, you’ll have to wait for your employer to approve the KYC details that you have provided.
