Members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) will have to do Aadhaar-based verification to keep their Universal Account Number (UAN) active. Regarding this, the Ministry of Labor and Employment has issued instructions to employers (companies and firms). Under this, all UANs will have to be verified with the One Time Password (OTP) received on the mobile number linked with the Aadhaar number, so that EPFO ​​members can get the benefits of government-run schemes.

In the first phase, employers will have to complete the process of UAN activation through Aadhaar-based OTP for all their employees in the current financial year by November 30. After that, the verification process will have to be completed for all other employees as well.

Employees will get these benefits

The new system will make login easy. It will also help in viewing and downloading PF passbook, submitting online claims for withdrawal, advance and transfer. It will also be easy to update personal details and track claims. This will save employees from having to run around EPFO ​​offices. On the other hand, in the second phase, biometric authentication will be adopted through facial recognition technology along with UAN activation.

To ensure that maximum employers and employees can avail the benefits of the scheme, the ministry has directed the EPFO ​​to run a campaign in collaboration with employers, under which activation of the Universal Account Number of employees will be ensured.

Three types of help will be available under ELI scheme

1. First-time job holders will be given Rs 15,000 in three installments directly into their accounts. To be eligible, their monthly salary should be up to Rs 1 lakh. About two crore youth are expected to benefit from the scheme.

2. On employment generation in the manufacturing sector, employees and employers will get financial assistance related to contributions during the first four years of employment. This is expected to benefit about 30 lakh young workers and their employers.

3. For every new employee earning less than Rs 1 lakh per month for new jobs, the government will reimburse the employer their EPFO ​​contribution up to Rs 3,000 per month for two years. This is expected to create 50 lakh additional jobs.

In some cases, it was observed that people did not even know which mobile number was linked to their Aadhaar. Keeping this in mind, this step has been taken. UIDAI said in a statement that due to this, people used to worry that if Aadhaar OTP goes to some other mobile number, then they will not know. Now with this facility, people can easily find out which mobile or e-mail ID is linked to their Aadhaar.

No need to go to Aadhaar center

According to the statement, this facility can be availed through the official website or m-Aadhaar app under the ’email/mobile number’ verification feature. This facility notifies people even when a mobile number is not linked and informs them to update their mobile number. Residents will see a message on the screen if the mobile number is already verified.

The message will say that the mobile number entered by you is already verified from our records. If anyone does not remember the mobile number which he/she had given while taking the Aadhaar number, then in that case he/she can check the last three digits of the mobile number under the new facility on ‘My Aadhaar’ portal or mAadhaar App.

Update yourself like this

Explain that to verify the mobile number and email ID, you have to go to the official website of UIDAI https://myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in or mAadhaar app and click on verify email / mobile number. After that you can update by following the mentioned steps.
