Ministry directs EPPO to enable UAN activation via Aadhaar OTP

The Ministry of Labour and Employment has directed the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to work in a campaign mode with employers and ensure the activation of the Universal Account Number (UAN) of employees, the ministry said in a release on Thursday.

EPFO will involve their zonal and regional offices for effective outreach, as per the release. The move is part of announcements made by the government in the Union Budget 202425 to ensure the benefits of the Employment Linked Incentive (ELI) Scheme go to the maximum number of employers and employees. The Central Government has already issued directions to ministries/departments to ensure payments of subsidyl incentives to the beneficiaries of the welfare schemes through the Aadhaar Payment Bridge and ensure 100 percent biometric Aadhaar authentication.
