How do you remove the wrong EPF Member ID linked to your UAN?

The Employee Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is introducing a way for members to remove any incorrectly linked Member IDs from their Universal Account Number (UAN). The UAN is a unique 12-digit number that combines several EPF member IDs, but problems arise when multiple UANs are assigned or incorrect IDs are linked.

Why Delink a Member ID?

Sometimes, an incorrect Member ID is linked to an employee’s UAN without their knowledge. This can lead to complication and difficulties in managing their provident fund. To solve this, EPFO is offering a service to unlink the wrong Member ID.

How to Delink a Wrongly Linked Member ID

Follow these steps to remove an incorrect Member ID from your UAN:

1. Visit the EPFO member portal: https://unifiedportalmem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/.
2. Log in using your UAN, password, and captcha.
3. After logging in, go to the ‘View’ menu.
4. Select ‘Service History’ from the options to see your service records.
5. Locate the incorrect Member ID in the list.
6. Click the ‘Delink’ button next to the wrong ID.
7. A confirmation alert will pop up; click ‘OK’ to continue.
8. Choose a reason for delinking.
9. Check the consent boxes and click ‘Get OTP.’
10. An OTP will be sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
11. Enter the OTP and click ‘Submit.’
12. If you don’t receive the OTP within 2 minutes, click ‘Resend.’
13. Once the OTP is verified, the incorrect Member ID will be removed.
14. A success text will appear, confirming that the ID has been successfully delinked.

Important Tips

• Make sure your Aadhaar-linked mobile number is active.
• Double-check the details before starting the delinking process to avoid errors.
