UMANG app i.e. Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance app established in India by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) to accelerate mobile governance among the citizens of our country. It facilitates citizens with a single portal to access e-Gov services across India, spanning from central to local government bodies and other citizen-centered facilities. With prominent customer-centric facilities like Aadhaar and Digilocker, UMANG provides smooth integration. By using a one-time password (OTP) process which will be sent to your registered mobile number, you can download the app and login. In order to secure the account from unauthorized entry, a user will have to set a 4 digit numeric MPIN code. Users have to pick two authentication questions that can be used if you lose access to your password or forget your PIN, to restore your account from the app. Users need to fill out their personal details after security checks, and then it will request the user to link their Aadhaar number with the app. Subscribers of EPFO can access their passbook; submit a pension withdrawal request, part withdrawal, and final settlement claim. The status of claims already made can also be checked by users. That being said, if you don’t link your Aadhaar with your PF account, only the passbook facility can be used.
