• You can also check your PF balance and passbook from your mobile.
• Aadhaar face authentication makes identity verification easier

EPFO has made several important UAN-related features available on the UMANG app. Employees can now generate and activate their UANs from their mobile phones, as well as check their EPF balance and passbooks. Aadhaar-based face authentication has also simplified the UAN process.

These facilities will be available on the UMANG app

Many important services are available to EPFO ​​members on the UMANG app. These include generating UAN, activating UAN, face authentication through Aadhaar, checking EPF balance, and downloading passbooks. Previously, these services required relying on the EPFO ​​portal, but now many tasks can be performed from your mobile phone.

Face Authentication for UAN Activation

Aadhaar-based face authentication technology is being used to generate new UANs and activate UANs. The existing EPFO ​​portal also states that this UAN generation and activation feature is now available through the UMANG app.

This process verifies the employee's identity through Aadhaar-related information and facial matching. This can help reduce the risk of UANs being created using incorrect information.

How to check PF balance from mobile

If your UAN is active, PF-related information can be accessed by visiting the EPFO ​​section in the UMANG app. Members can also check their EPF account balance and transaction details. The EPFO ​​website also provides real-time EPF account balance and transaction history.

Passbook download facility

Members can also view and download their EPF passbooks through the UMANG app. The passbooks contain information about employee and employer contributions and account transactions. This allows employees to easily check the monthly balance in their PF account.

Also useful for job changers

UAN is a universal number that helps link PF accounts across different employee employment periods. Therefore, it is important to keep the UAN active and its information accurate. With these features available on the UMANG app, employees will be less likely to have to travel to different locations for various EPFO-related tasks.
