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.
