But when they very need of it found them helpless and in very problematic situations. 

Some of basic and common problems mentioned below they faces:

8. Employee can not withdraw or transfer his PF account amount due to his data mismatch as per records (do not match with the Aadhar details) 
9. How to correct wrong details in UAN like date of birth, his name, father name etc.

Here is I try my level best to satisfy all these types of queries. 

1^st employee or worker should take care below things which help him much more to operate properly his UAN employee portal.

1. Keep update his or Aadhar details with correct data of him like proper full name, date of birth etc
2. His or her mobile number must be linked with Aadhar
3. His or her Bank name should be match with the Aadhar details
4. His or her PAN details should be match with the Aadhar.

Now if you know your UAN number (you can find it in your monthly pay slip or ask to your HR) Then activate this.

1. Submit Nominee details

2. Upload and submit all your basic KYC details

3. Check your service history (all employers details)

Merge all companies detail in latest company (current or last company) 

Provide UAN number and choose approval for present employer or past you want 

This will go the employer for DSC approval after that its merged to one account.

4. Why two UAN generated for an employee and how to merge it into one UAN .

Mostly this type of errors was done in past few years before when Aadhar seeded details are not mandatory. For example an employee given his details to employee Pan etc. and his UAN generated after that he left the job and join another company but did not given his past UAN number to the current employer. Current employer also registers him into EPFO portal and generate an new UAN number. 

If this type of error happened do one thing , must update your Aadhaar into both UAN numbers.

Once you update it then follow the process of one member one EPF account and transfer old pf account details into new one. 

If Employee cannot withdraw or transfer his PF account amount due to his data mismatch as per records (do not match with the Aadhar details) 

And How to correct wrong details in UAN like date of birth, his name, father name etc.

Click on profile and check your details you will find a change button for all entries at the right

Click on that if details you want to change (make sure data should be correct in Aadhar) and submit this, this will go to employer for DSc approval.

Please note if you are not able to change or correct your data online in that case you can do it manually also. For that purpose, you need to download “Joint declaration form” from EPFO site. And provide in the field which one date need to correct. (attached proper documentary proof ) duly signed by this by both employee and employer and submit to EPFO office. This will take few days’ time to correction.
