Now, if the details in both records match exactly and are verified by UIDAI, members can have their Aadhaar seeded through the employer\u2019s portal without separate EPFO approval.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The primary goal of Aadhaar seeding is to allow EPFO to deliver services directly to members, bypassing employer intermediation.

The form must be attested by an authorised person before processing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restriction:<\/strong> No changes will be allowed if Aadhaar is already verified.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>New option via Digilocker:<\/strong> EPF members can now submit JD requests for profile changes directly through Digilocker.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><strong>What is UAN?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">The Universal Account Number (UAN) is a 12-digit unique identifier assigned by the EPFO, which remains the same throughout an employee\u2019s career, regardless of job changes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><strong>How to link UAN with Aadhaar via UMANG App:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Enter your UAN in the app.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the OTP sent to your UAN-registered mobile number.<\/li>\n<li>Enter Aadhaar details.<\/li>\n<li>Verify the OTP sent to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number and email.<\/li>\n<li>Aadhaar will then be linked to your UAN.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/aparna-deb-20948.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Aparna Deb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Aparna Deb is a Subeditor and writes for the business vertical of News18.com.
