EPFO Latest Update: THIS App Is Mandatory For Generation, Activation Of UAN From August 1 --Check Details
"In this connection, in order to ensure error-free generation of UAN, it has been decided that with effect from 1 August 2025 the allotment/generation of UAN will be done only through the aadhaar based Face Authentication Technology (FAT) in UMANG App," an EPFO Circular said.
However, the existing process of generation of UAN through the Employer will continue in respect of exceptional cases like International Workers and Citizens of Nepal and Bhutan, the EPFO added.
EPFO had earlier said that for availing this facility, the only requirement would be to download the UMANG App and Aadhaar Face RD App from Playstore. The facility can be availed by the Members themselves using their smartphones without any intervention of EPFO/Employers.
Facility is also available for downloading e-UAN card PDF for handing over to Employer for onboarding with EPFO. The benefits that would accrue to members using FAT include foolproof validation of Aadhaar data as all data of user is pre-populated directly from Aadhaar database and completion of UAN activation process during UAN generation itself.
There would be no requirement for initiation of UAN activation process afresh. By availing this facility member would gain immediate access to EPFO services such as passbook viewing, KYC updates, claim submission etc.

India will be Rs 2186231984999999 ‘power house' by…, Gautam Adani's BIG bet on country's economy, says…
India is poised to become a USD 25 trillion economic powerhouse by 2050, with the global centre of gravity shifting in its direction, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani said while addressing students at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Lucknow on Thursday. Speaking to the students, the billionaire industrialist added that the future will favour those who embrace possibilities, not those who choose to play it safe. Gautam Adani AT IIM Lucknow Speaking on the role of education in an age of artificial intelligence, algorithmic decision-making, and global uncertainty, Adani remarked, 'Frameworks that you study like the DC model, Porter's five forces and a SWOT analysis have their place in the world of business but these are built on assumptions and hindsight. 'They teach you how to minimise risk but not maximise the future because the future will never belong to those who play it safe. It belongs to those who maximise possibility.' Adani told the audience that their career timelines would align with India's most transformative decades. 'What I can state with confidence is that your most productive years will coincide with India's most powerful years. Your career and our country will rise together.' 'You will not be looking at a five trillion or ten trillion dollar economy but you will be looking at an India that will be a 25 trillion dollar powerhouse by 2050. The global centre of gravity will shift and it will be towards you and towards India,' he said. Gautam Adani On Four Unstoppable Forces Of India Adani said the nation's transformation is being powered by 'four unstoppable forces': demographics, demand, digital infrastructure, and domestic capital. 'The first is demographic – we are the youngest, hungriest and most ambitious working population on the planet. A billion dreams ready to build,' he said. 'The second is the demand. We are racing to become the third largest economy by 2030, not just by consuming but by creating markets for the world.' He highlighted India's digital infrastructure as the third force. 'No country has built what we have like Aadhaar, UPI and ONDC. These are not just platforms but launch pads for inclusion, innovation and scale.' 'And fourth is the domestic capital. For the first time in our history Indian money is backing Indian ideas with courage, conviction and an urgency that we have never seen.' He told the gathering that shaping the future required imagination, risk-taking, and conviction. 'Maximising possibility means stepping into territory building before the market signals it is ready and trusting instincts when the data turns dry. Because that is how the future is shaped and not through predictions but through courage,' he said.

India will be USD 25 trillion ‘powerhouse' by 2050: Gautam Adani at IIM Lucknow
Lucknow: Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani on Thursday said India will be a USD 25 trillion economic "powerhouse" by 2050 with the global centre of gravity shifting towards it. Addressing students at the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow, Adani assured them that their career timelines would align with India's most transformative decades. "What I can state with confidence is that your most productive years will coincide with India's most powerful years. Your career and our country will rise together," Adani said. "You will not be looking at a five trillion or ten trillion-dollar economy, but you will be looking at an India that will be a 25 trillion-dollar powerhouse by 2050. The global centre of gravity will shift, and it will be towards you and towards India," he said. Exhorting students to maximise possibilities, the billionaire said, "The future will belong to those who maximise possibility but never to those who play it safe." Speaking on the role of education in an age of artificial intelligence, algorithmic decision-making, and global uncertainty, Adani remarked, "Frameworks that you study like DC model, Porter's five forces and a SWOT analysis have their place in the world of business, but these are built on assumptions and hindsight. They teach you how to minimise risk but not maximise the future." Adani said the nation's transformation is being powered by "four unstoppable forces": Demographics, demand, digital infrastructure, and domestic capital. "The first is demographic – we are the youngest, hungriest and most ambitious working population on the planet. A billion dreams ready to build," he said. "The second is the demand. We are racing to become the third largest economy by 2030, not just by consuming but by creating markets for the world." He highlighted India's digital infrastructure as the third force. "No country has built what we have like Aadhaar, UPI and ONDC. These are not just platforms but launch pads for inclusion, innovation and scale." "And fourth is the domestic capital. For the first time in our history, Indian money is backing Indian ideas with courage, conviction and an urgency that we have never seen." He told the students that shaping the future requires imagination, risk-taking, and conviction. "I am not here to hand you a map, but to invite you to redraw the map itself. To challenge your very definition of leadership." He added, "Maximising possibility means stepping into territory building before the market signals it is ready and trusting instincts when the data turns dry. Because that is how the future is shaped and not through predictions but through courage," he said. Referring to some of the Adani Group's challenging projects like those in Mundra, Dharavi and Australia, he added, "These are not just acts of businesses but acts of imagination, of refusing to accept the world as it is and daring to see it as it could be." Urging students to root themselves in India's civilisational values, Adani said, "While you may have studied books authored across the world but remember there is something deeper and something every Indian knows that no textbook can ever teach you." "In a world fractured by war and torn by hunger for dominance, India stands tall by its restraint. Where others impose, India uplifts. Where others take, India gives. Quietly, consistently and with dignity. No nation can claim this moral high ground with the authenticity of India." "And you, the children of our nation, must carry forward this responsibility. Learn from the world, yes. But never let the world define you. You are not just students of globalisation. You are the children of our civilisation," he said, urging students to adopt a philosophy that dares to choose conviction over caution, consequence over comfort, creation over conformity, and conscience over convenience.

Junagadh student duped of 22L in cement dealership scam
Rajkot: A 19-year-old civil engineering student from Junagadh lost over Rs 22 lakh to cyber fraudsters who lured him with a fake offer of a cement company dealership. The victim, Prem Kachadiya, who also runs a real estate business with his uncle, has filed a complaint with the Junagadh Cyber Crime police station. According to the complaint, Kachadiya was searching online for a cement dealership to support his real estate ventures when he came across a toll-free number claiming to represent a reputed cement company. Upon contacting the number, he was issued a six-digit request ID and later received a call from a Hindi-speaking man who confirmed the ID and sent an application form along with requests for personal documents, including his PAN card, Aadhaar, and photographs. Shortly after, Kachadiya received a dealership confirmation letter bearing the company's logo, a signature, and a stamp of its managing director. He was then asked to make an initial payment of Rs 38,500 for processing, for which he received a GST-stamped receipt. Convinced of its authenticity, Kachadiya went on to make eight payments totaling Rs 22.05 lakh for various formalities like licensing and NOC. Despite repeated assurances, the promised delivery of 5,000 cement bags never materialized. The fraud deepened when he was asked to place an additional order for 10,000 bags to win an SUV. Growing suspicious, Kachadiya discussed the matter with his uncle, who recognized it as a scam. The two then approached the police. Investigations are underway to trace the accused and recover the defrauded amount. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
