Epfo Digilocker Update: Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has now made its services available on the Digilocker app. Employees using Android smartphones can now see PF balance and passbook from anywhere. Apart from this, documents such as UAN Card, Pension Payment Order (PPO) and Scheme Certificate can also be digitally accessed.
Earlier only facility was on UMANG app
Till now the PF passbook viewing facility was only on the UMANG app. But EPFO told on X (first Twitter) on 17 July 2025 that Android users will now be able to get this information directly through Digilocker. However, it is still necessary for iOS users to use the UMANG app.
New option for UAN Activation
EPFO said in another update on July 18 that UMANG app can now verify UAN (Universal Account Number) through face authentication. This process is easy, safe and completely digital.
ELI scheme is necessary for UAN
UAN Activation is mandatory not only for EPFO services, but also to avail the Employment Linked Inventive (ELI) scheme. Under this scheme launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government aims to provide employment and skill training to four crore youth. A budget of ₹ 2 lakh crore has been fixed for this.
EPFO advice his members
EPFO has appealed to all members to activate their UAN and link Aadhaar to the bank account so that all digital services and ELI scheme can get full benefit. In case of not activating UAN, you will not be able to avail many essential services of EPFO.
