]]> EPFO DigiLocker update: The Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has now made its services available on the DigiLocker app. Employees using Android smartphones can now check PF balance and passbook from anywhere. Apart from this, documents like UAN card, pension payment order (PPO) and scheme certificate can also be accessed digitally.

Earlier the facility was available only on UMANG app

Till now, the facility to view PF passbook was available only on UMANG app. But EPFO informed on 17 July 2025 on X (earlier Twitter) that Android users will now be able to get this information directly through DigiLocker. However, for iOS users, it is still necessary to use UMANG app.

New option for UAN activation

In another update on July 18, EPFO said that now UAN (Universal Account Number) verification can be done through face authentication through UMANG app. This process is easy, secure and completely digital.

UAN is necessary for ELI scheme

UAN activation is mandatory not only for EPFO services but also for availing the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) scheme. Under this scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government aims to provide employment and skill training to four crore youth. A budget of ₹ 2 lakh crore has been set for this.

EPFO’s advice to its members

EPFO has appealed to all the members to activate their UAN and link Aadhaar to the bank account so that they can avail the full benefits of all digital services and ELI scheme. In case of not activating UAN, you will not be able to avail many important services of EPFO.

Process to activate UAN (through UMANG app)

  1. Install and open UMANG app on your mobile.
  2. Go to the ‘EPFO’ service section.
  3. Click on ‘UAN Activation’ option
  4. Enter your UAN number, name, date of birth and registered mobile number.
  5. Click on ‘Get OTP’ and proceed by entering the OTP.
  6. Now select the option of ‘Face Authentication’.
  7. The app will turn on the camera, scan your face according to the screen.
  8. After successful verification your UAN will be activated.

]]> The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has signed an agreement with 15 new banks to improve services for its members. Till now, EPFO ​​services were available through only 17 banks, but with the joining of new banks, this number has increased to 32. That means the scope has become bigger now.

Union Labor and Employment Minister, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya said that this will directly benefit crores of people associated with EPFO.

8.78 crore people will get this benefit

At present, more than 8 crore people are members of EPFO ​​and there are more than 78 lakh pensioners. In such a situation, a total of 8.78 crore people will get direct benefit from this decision. Now they will be able to avail their pension and PF services from any bank. Earlier pensioners had to open accounts only in a few selected banks, but now this compulsion has ended.

The Union Minister said that the country’s social security is getting stronger under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said that 10 years ago the social security coverage was only 24%, but now it has increased to 48%.

Soon you will be able to withdraw PF money instantly through UPI and ATM

EPFO is going to make another big change, due to which by May or June 2025, employees will be able to withdraw PF immediately through UPI and ATM. This means that now there will be no need to go through a long process. Till now, to withdraw PF, one had to submit an online claim, which could take several days or weeks. But after the introduction of the new system, you will be able to see your PF balance directly on the UPI app and transfer it to your bank account immediately.

Facility to withdraw up to Rs 1 lakh from UPI

Labor Ministry Secretary Sumita Dawra said that EPFO ​​is working on a plan to link PF withdrawals up to Rs 1 lakh with UPI soon. As soon as this facility is started, employees will be able to withdraw their PF amount without any delay.

This step of EPFO ​​is a big change in the direction of Digital India, which will benefit crores of employees and make their lives easier.
