Retirement fund body EPFO has decided to become a registrar of the Unique Identification Au-thority of India to facilitate enrolment of its subscribers who don’t have Aadhaar numbers.
The Employees’ Provid-ent Fund Organisation (EPFO) wants to seed over 4.2 crore portable Universal PF Account Numbers issued by it, with the Aadhaar number of subscribers.
EPFO wants to leverage its over 120 field offices for the seeding of Aadha-ar numbers with UAN to facilitate the body in improving delivery of services to subscribers on real time basis which includes online settlement of PF claims.
At present for 4.2 crore UANs issued by EPFO, only around 42 lakh Aad-haar numbers of members have been uploaded and 21 lakh Aadhaar nu-mbers of members have been digitally verified by the employers.
