Epfo Marathi News: The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made their members mandatory to activate the Universal Account Number (UAN) via Umang Mobile App. It will start on August 7. EPFO has clearly stated that now the UAN can only be activated by the Aadhaar Face Authentication by the Uma app and the services of those who do not do so can be discontinued.

Could make uan through the umang app

EPFO has made a major change in their rules. A circular was issued on July 7 and updated in this regard. Accordingly, it is now mandatory for members to generate their UAN through supporting face authentication. However, in some special cases (such as for international employees), the old method of generating the universal account number by the employer will also be valid.

At the same time, all the other new UA UAj will only be generated by Aadhaar Face Authentication technology. For this, the entire process will be done through the Umala app and no need to contact the employer.

The biggest advantage of EPFO’s new rule is that the employees themselves will be able to activate and activate the UAN generates themselves. For this, they only have to download the Umang app and Aadhaar Face RD app from their mobile play store. After they are activated, users can also download the digital copy of the e_UN card from here and share it with the employer to connect directly to the EPFO.

To generate UAN using new technology, the user has a valid Aadhaar card number and a registered mobile number on it

Until now, many employees have been directly dependent on the employer for their U -setup and its activation.
