The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and National e-Governance Division (NeGD) launched UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) to promote Mobile Governance in India. However, if you want to claim your EPF online, it is mandatory to link your Aadhaar with UAN i.e. (Universal Account Number).

Step 5: To continue using the APP, you need to set an MPIN
Step 6: Set the MPIN, and you will be logged in to UMANG APP
Step 7: Once logged in, go to “All Services Tab” and select “EPFO”
Step 8: Under the EPFO section, click on “e-KYC services”
Step 9: Under “e-KYC services” select Aadhaar Seeding option
