Facing EPFO Site Errors? UMANG App Offers A Smart Alternative | Business News

Last Updated:

A multi-utility government application, UMANG, helps EPF members register and avail of various services, including checking their EPF passbook and tracking claims submitted.

How the UMANG app helps members when the official EPF website is down

Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) members who are tired of facing site errors while trying to check their EPF passbook need no longer worry. You can access the EPFO services even when the official portal undergoes technical faults or downtimes by using UMANG. A government-backed mobile application, Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG), helps EPF members check their PF balances, submit claims and perform other essential tasks without entering the official EPFO portal.

A convenient and user-friendly platform, the UMANG application offers all EPFO-related facilities to members on their smartphones. Whether it is checking the EPF passbook, balance, raising or tracking claims, applying for Scheme Certificates or even activating your UAN. UMANG is the way to go.

EPF members seeking a full or partial claim against their UAN can do so directly from the UMANG app, with just a few taps on their mobile phones. One can also avoid the hassle of visiting the EPFO offices for pension scheme certificate applications through the app, which allows us to track the status (only the non-financial details) of the claims raised against a member ID.

The UMANG app helps members check their EPF passbooks if they are unable to do so through the online portal, providing a summarised overview of transactions done in their pension account of PF for the last 3 months. If members wish to go further back, the rest can be downloaded in PDF format.

Members of the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS) can download their pension payment order using the UMANG app. The application has eased the process of acquiring the order that helps you get your pension after retirement.

Additionally, EPF members can generate and activate a Universal Account Number (UAN) for first-time users via the multi-utility UMANG application. “This service leverages secure face authentication, ensuring a seamless and reliable process. Employees can quickly access their EPF accounts without requiring extensive paperwork or manual verification steps,” says the UMANG website.

The app comes with a range of other benefits, including status tracking of any grievances or requests made through the eMigrate web portal, allowing you to check whether the government has taken any prompt action on your complaints. Members can download the UMANG app from the Google Play/App Store.
