I was seeking for the seamless way to EPFO login for employees as I was unable to do so, then I went through this post on EPFO login and came across that my UAN is not activated on the EPFO member portal :p. Jokes apart, after reading this post, I got what I was missing which was leading me to not login to EPFO portal.

My employer is not so amiable to EPFO and as a consequence, he lost the credentials needed for the EPFO login for employees. I was wondering to get a resolution so that I can go through my deductions and other details. This post facilitated me. Thanks, Afinoz!
