The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has simplified the process of Universal Account Number (UAN) allotment and activation. A circular issued by the retirement fund body stated that by leveraging Face Authentication Technology (FAT) of Aadhaar, three new facilities have been integrated into the UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app to offer a seamless experience for employees and EPF members.
According to the circular, EPF members need to download the UMANG App and the Aadhaar Face RD App from the Play Store. Once installed, users can get and activate their UAN using their smartphones, without any help from EPFO officials or employers.
