The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has won the National Award on
e-Governance 2015-16 for launching the Universal Account Number (UAN).
The UAN facility enables workers to transfer their provident fund deposits while switching jobs anywhere in India easily.
The EPFO won the gold award in the ‘innovative use of technology in
e-governance’ category and the retirement body will get a cash prize of
Rs 2 lakh.
“It is heartening to know that the e-initiatives of EPFO are getting
recognised by the Union government as well. Our ultimate goal is to
deliver services as smooth as an e-bank,” said K.K. Jalan, Central
Provident Fund Commissioner at EPFO.
The award will be presented by the Ministry of Personnel, Public
Grievances and Pensions to the EPFO in the 19th National Conference on
e-governance to be held in Nagpur on January 22,2016
