registrar of the Unique Identification Authority of India to facilitate
enrolment of its subscribers who don’t have Aadhaar numbers.
The
Employees’ Provident 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 of leverage
its over 120 field offices for the seeding of Aadhaar 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.
In
order to deliberate upon the strategy to seed more Aadhaar numbers in
UAN database, a meeting was held between EPFO and UIDAI in the presence
of UIDAI’s Director General & Mission Director Vijay S Madan and
EPFO’s Central Provident Fund Commissioner K.K. Jalan.
“During the meeting, it was decided that EPFO should sign up as
registrar to enrol EPF members, who do not have an Aadhaar number to
facilitate the enrolment process for such members,” an office circular
said.
