Streamline Your EPF Services with the UMANG App
Simplifying EPF Services
If you are a member of the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and have been visiting offices for claims, passbooks, or UAN cards, there's no need for that anymore. The government has made nearly all EPF-related services accessible through the UMANG app, allowing you to manage everything from your mobile device.
This means that whether you need to file a PF claim or check your passbook, it can all be done with just a click on your phone. Let's explore the benefits of the UMANG app and how to use it effectively.
Easy PF Claims
Through the UMANG app, you can file a PF claim using your UAN number. All you need to do is enter your mobile number and MPIN. If you are using the UMANG app for the first time, you will need to register. Once logged in, you can easily submit your PF claim from the comfort of your home.
Check Claim Status in Minutes
After submitting a PF claim, the most pressing question is often about its status. The UMANG app alleviates this concern by allowing you to track your claim status. Simply enter your member ID, and you can see the current stage of your claim.
Download Your UAN Card
The UAN card is often required when changing jobs or accessing other PF services. You no longer need to search various websites for it. With the UMANG app, you can directly download your UAN card by entering your date of birth, and it can be saved as a PDF.
Check Your Passbook
The UMANG app also allows you to view your PF account passbook, showing transactions from the last three months, including deposits, transfers, and current balance. You can download this information in PDF format as well.
Scheme Certificate
If you resign from a job and plan to start working elsewhere, you will need a scheme certificate to join the pension service. You can now apply for this certificate online through the UMANG app.
Secure UAN Generation and Activation
The UMANG app has enhanced security for UAN generation and login through face authentication technology (FAT). If you are creating a UAN for the first time, you won't have to go through a lengthy process. Additionally, if you have an inactive UAN, it can now be activated using face authentication. Even if your UAN is already active, you can verify your identity through this method, making processes like login and claims even simpler.
