PF : Aadhar Based Face Authentication for new joinees through UMANG App
We would like to inform you of an important update regarding the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) services. Effective 1st August 2025, EPFO has introduced a new facility for employees to generate and activate their Universal Account Number (UAN) using Aadhaar-based Face Authentication through the UMANG mobile application.
Important Note for Employers:
- Employers will no longer be able to create a new UAN or check if an employee already has a UAN.
- Employees must check from their end and provide the UAN to the employer. This UAN will then be linked to the establishment via the Employer Portal.
We encourage all employees, especially new joiners, to make use of this enhanced feature for seamless onboarding. Feel free to reach support@payrule.in for a step by step guide for UAN generation through the new mechanism for new joinees.
