How to link Aadhaar Card with EPF Using EPFO Portal or UMANG

How to Update Aadhaar in EPFO: In the Provident Fund (PF) scheme, the employer and the employee contribute equal parts to set up an account for the Employee for post-retirement. The EPF Account is linked by a Universal Account Number (UAN), which remains the same irrespective of how many times you change your job.

The EPFO has an online website called the EPFO Member Portal where anyone who has registered with the website can log in with the help of their UAN and Password. It is mandatory to link your Aadhaar Card, PAN Card as well as account details to the EPFO account.
