Now the essential services related to PF have become easier for EPFO members. Now you can view and download documents like PF passbook, balance, UAN card and pension payment order from your smartphone anytime, anywhere through DigiLocker. In the last few months, the government has made many digital changes regarding EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation).
Now adding EPFO related services to DigiLocker is another big step in this direction. EPFO recently shared this information on the social media platform X.
Now these EPFO facilities will be available in DigiLocker
EPFO members can now easily view and download their UAN card, PPO and scheme certificates. Earlier PF passbook had to be downloaded from UMANG app, but now direct access facility is available on DigiLocker. This facility is currently available only for Android users. iPhone users are currently getting notification to view passbook in DigiLocker through UMANG app.
UAN activation now through face authentication
EPFO gave another update on July 18 and said that now UAN can be activated through face authentication from UMANG app. It is very important to activate UAN, because without it you can neither check your PF balance, nor withdraw money, nor update bank or Aadhaar details.
Along with this, UAN activation is also necessary to avail the benefits of Modi government’s ELI (Employment Linked Incentive) scheme. This scheme, launched with a budget of about Rs 2 lakh crore, has been brought with the aim of providing skill development and jobs to 4 crore youth of the country.
These 5 digital initiatives of EPFO are very useful for you:
- PF passbook and balance are now available on DigiLocker, i.e. access all documents in one click.
- UAN activation, i.e. KYC and access to services has now become easier through face authentication with the UMANG app.
- PF claim processing and withdrawal is online, i.e. no need to go to the office to withdraw money.
- Facility of e-nomination, means now adding a nominee for the family can also be done sitting at home.
- OTP based login and tracking system, means every update will now be in your smartphone.
If you are an EPFO member, take immediate advantage of these digital updates and make every PF related work faster, easier and safer than before. These digital efforts of EPFO are not only making the work of the members easier, but are also making the entire process more transparent, speedy and secure
