New Delhi. EPFO Rules Change: In the last few days, many rules to Employees Provident Fund Organization have changed. This will affect crores of EPFO ​​shareholders. One of these rules is to processing of PF claims, while the other rule is to verification. Let's learn about the three row rules.

Face verification rules

Now EPFO ​​members will be able to avail the Universal Account Number (UAN) and the services associated with it through face verification. Recently, Union Labor Minister Mansukh Mandavia launched advanced digital services to release and activate Provident Fund UAN through facial verification.

Now employees can make UAN directly using Aadhaar Face Verification Technology (FAT) with the help of Umang Mobile App. Any employer can use the UAN app to create a UAN using Aadhaar FAT for any new employee. Members who already have UAN, but have not yet activated it, can now easily activate their UAN through the Umang app.

No need for check photo

The EPFO ​​has also changed the online PF claims. Interested applicants do not need to upload a photo of canceled checks and do not even need to verify their bank accounts by employers. Currently EPFO ​​members have to upload verified photocopy of check or passbook checks or passbooks of bank account or passbook connected to UAN or PF number while applying for online withdrawal of money from their PF (EPFO Rules Change) account.

Similarly, employers are required to approve the details of the bank account of the applicant. Now there is no need to get approval from the owners. Both these conditions have been abolished to ensure 'ease of life' for EPF members and 'ease of business' for employers.
