In order to provide online facilities like PF claim settlement and meeting of KYC
norms to activate portable PF accounts, retirement fund body EPFO will extend
these to 2 lakh common service centres (CSCs). EPFO has decided to extend
services like Aadhaar seeding with Universal (portable PF) Account Number
(UAN), digital life certificate of pensioners, e-KYC operated upload and update
facility, UAN card-related and online claim service at two lakh CSCs of the IT
Ministry.
The pact on this prospective inked soon all Employees Provident Fund
Organisation (EPFO) and the IT Ministry, which will eventually help the body
operationlise all 7.84 crore UANs issued to subscribers.
According to the data available at EPFO website, as many as 2.93 crore UANs
have been activated by subscribers, which are now portable for life. UAN
account holders are not required to transfer their PF account on changing jobs.

members are required hassle that online themselves. Since a abundance of
industrial workers are not tech savvy, they are not able to activate their UAN.

industrial workers to complete the e-KYC norms and activate their UANs.

CBT (EPFO) held last week.

EPF member.
To consolidate multiple UANs, the member needs to direct PF transfer from
previous EPF account to the present EPF account, the official said.

has been affected from one EPF account to another, both having different
UANs fit these EPF accounts, he explained.
