EPFO and UMANG App Facilitate Provident Fund Account Management and UAN Services
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) offers services for managing provident fund accounts, including merging multiple accounts and activating Universal Account Numbers (UANs). Subscribers can transfer old PF balances to new accounts via the EPFO portal or UMANG app to maintain continuity and tax benefits. The UMANG app, developed by the government, also facilitates UAN allotment, activation, and tracking of PF contributions using Aadhaar-based authentication, simplifying access to EPFO services for members.
