Industry body flags concern on EPFO's facial authentication rule

On 30 July, EPFO mandated facial authentication via Aadhaar for generating UANs only through the UMANG app

- Rhik Kundu

The Association of Industries and Institutions (New Delhi) has urged the government to reconsider a directive by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation mandating (EPFO) Aadhaar-based facial authentication for generating universal account numbers (UANs), claiming that the move is triggering significant operational disruptions for employers.

The industry body, having over 7,000 members, wrote to labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya, urging the Centre to retain the UMANG app and the Unified Employer Portal as options for UAN generation. The association, which includes private and public sector enterprises, SMEs, and multinational corporations, flagged the EPFO's 30 July circular as problematic for sectors marked by high attrition, limited smartphone access, and low digital literacy.

The EPFO mandate, effective 1 August, requires UAN allotment and activation exclusively via UMANG app.

An uncertain outlook for interest rates. Businesses may be holding off on investment until the fog clears. In addition, history suggests that technology tends to spread in fits and starts. Consider use of the computer within American households, where the speed of adoption slowed in the late 1980s. This was a mere blip before the 1990s, when they invaded American homes.

Can I claim TDS refund despite missing return filing deadline?

I am an NRI living in Dubai and have investments in Indian listed stocks. One of the companies I invested in, did a buyback in March, on which Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) was deducted. At that time, I was advised by a friend that I could claim a refund of TDS at the time of filing my tax return due to the benefits of the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA).
