The Provident Fund Organization Authority i.e. EPFO ​​​​is a unit of the Government of India that looks after the arrangements related to PF. From opening your account to depositing money in it, paying interest, and withdrawing money, many other things are looked after by EPFO. In such a situation, if you are also a PF account holder, then it becomes important for you to know why it is necessary to activate the UAN number of your PF account and what problems you may face if you do not get it done. So let's know about its method. You can learn about this in the next slides...

Why is it necessary to get it activated?

If you also have a PF account and till now you have not activated your UAN number, then get it done. If you do not do this, then you may face problems in withdrawing PF money.
