The data needed to generate the UAN can be downloaded in an excel file by clicking on "Download UAN Creation Data" button. If employee has updated his Aadhaar Number then it would be available in the excel.

If UAN was available with the employee from before then the column "UAN Exists From Before" needs to be selected and UAN updated in the table. Click on "Submit" on the row or select multiple records and click on "Submit" at the bottom of the table.
