Earlier, there used to be a lot of fraud in withdrawing money from PF accounts. People also used to withdraw money from someone else’s account by making fake documents or by paying money to middlemen.

But now because of ‘Face ID’ it becomes sure that the person withdrawing money is the one who has the account. With this, your PF money has become more secure than ever, claims are passed quickly and the money comes directly into your account.

1. Download UMANG App.


2. Verify with OTP by entering your Aadhaar number.


3. Show your face to the camera.


4. As soon as the green mark appears on the screen, you will get a message that your certificate has been submitted!

This is a great relief for the elderly people living in the village.
