Subject: Allotment and activation of UAN through UMANG APP using FAT -reg.
Madam/Sir,
In order to simplify and to make the entire process of allotment and activation of UAN more robust, the following 3 facilities for Employees/Members have been introduced in the UMANG APP leveraging the Face Authentication Technology (FAT).
- Direct UAN Allotment and Activation
- UAN Activation for Existing UANs
- Face Authentication Service for Existing Activated UANs
For availing this facility, the only requirement would be to download the UMANG App and Aadhaar Face RD App from Playstore. The above facility can be availed by the Members themselves using their smartphones without any intervention of EPFO/Employers. Facility is also available for downloading e-UAN card PDF for handing over to Employer for onboarding with EPFO.
The benefits that would accrue to members using FAT include foolproof validation of Aadhaar data as all data of user is pre-populated directly from Aadhaar database and completion of UAN activation process during UAN generation itself. There would be no requirement for initiation of UAN activation process afresh. By availing this facility member would gain immediate access to EPFO services such as passbook viewing, KYC updates, claim submission etc.
A detailed User Manual in this regard is enclosed herewith.
[This has the approval of CPFC]
Yours sincerely,
G. R. Suchindranath
