EPFO Enables UAN Generation and Activation via UMANG App with Aadhaar Verification
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has integrated key Universal Account Number (UAN) services into the government's UMANG mobile app, enabling members to generate, activate, and authenticate their UAN using Aadhaar-based verification and facial recognition. This update allows employees to complete UAN-related processes independently without employer intervention. After activation, members can access EPFO digital services such as checking balances, downloading passbooks, and managing KYC details. The move aims to simplify and consolidate EPF services on a single mobile platform.
