DigiLocker: Now, PF facilities will be available on DigiLocker as well..

Now, the important 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 through DigiLocker from your smartphone anywhere, anytime. 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 its 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 certificate. Earlier, the PF passbook had to be downloaded from the UMANG app, but now a direct access facility has been provided on DigiLocker. This facility is currently available only for Android users. iPhone users are currently getting notifications to view Passbook in DigiLocker through the UMANG app.

UAN activation now through face authentication

EPFO gave another update on July 18 and said that now UAN can also be activated through face authentication from the UMANG app. It is very important to activate UAN, because without it, you can neither view your PF balance, nor withdraw money, nor update bank or Aadhaar details.

Along with this, UAN activation is also necessary to take advantage of the Modi government's ELI (Employment Linked Incentive) scheme. This scheme, started 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 on DigiLocker, i.e., access all documents in one click.

UAN activation through face authentication from the UMANG app, i.e., access to KYC and services, has become easier now.
PF claim processing and withdrawal online, i.e., no need to go to the office to withdraw money.
Facility of e-nomination, i.e., now adding a nominee for the family can also be done from home.
OTP based login and tracking system, i.e., every update will now be in your smartphone.
If you are an EPFO member, then take advantage of these digital updates immediately and make every work related to PF 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.
