If ever you lose a UAN or someone forgets the UAN, then EPFO also provides the facility to regain it. Subscribers can know UAN sitting at home through online medium, missed call or SMS. To know the UAN, the mobile number of the EPF account holder should be registered with the EPFO and one of the bank account numbers / Aadhaar / PAN KYC along with the UAN number is complete.
Via missed call
The EPF account holder has to give a missed call from his registered mobile number on 01122901406. In a few seconds, EPFO will send the details of UAN, EPF account holder name, date of birth, Aadhaar number, last contribution to the account and total PF balance in a message.
By SMS

The last three letters in this message are for the language. If you want to get SMS in Hindi then send it by writing EPFOHO UAN HIN.
