Navi Mumbai's civic body becomes first in country to provide property identity cards to citizens
Navi Mumbai: Navi Mumbai Municipal Commissioner Kailas Shinde launched the 'Property Identity Card' initiative, making Navi Mumbai the first municipal corporation in the country to provide such cards to property holders. According to NMMC, the Property Identity Card will benefit over 3.5 lakh property owners in the city, allowing them to access information such as property number, address, area, and tax details in one place, similar to a PAN card. Property identification cards were distributed to five property owners by Shinde at a function recently. The card enables property owners to view property tax arrears and advance tax amounts, and allows them to make payments directly at civic utility centres by presenting the card. Additionally, online tax payment is facilitated by scanning the QR code on the Property Identity Card, which can also serve as an official property identity, similar to an Aadhaar card, said Shinde. This initiative will streamline property sale and transfer processes, saving property owners time, effort, and expense in contacting the Property Tax Department, said an official. For the convenience of the tech-savvy citizens of Navi Mumbai, which is also known as the city of the educated lot, Shinde is focusing on maximum digitalisation and in that regard, this important property identity card initiative will increase transparency and efficiency in the property tax department.

EPFO Aadhaar UAN linking - What are the latest changes? All you need to know
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced new rules to make it more convenient for its users to link Aadhaar with their Universal Account Number (UAN) and make changes to their personal details. The fresh rules are aimed at speeding up access to provident fund services, reduce paperwork, and ensure timely payouts, especially in sensitive cases like those involving minors, without unnecessary procedural hurdles. Simplified process: If your name, gender and date of birth in both Aadhaar and UAN records match, you can now directly approach your employer. Employer portal: The employer can then complete the Aadhaar seeding through the KYC function on the employer portal. No additional approval: This process no longer requires additional approval from EPFO, speeding up what was previously time consuming as even straightforward matches used to get delayed due to multiple verification layers. The Joint Declaration (JD) mechanism has also been streamlined for cases where the Aadhaar and UAN details do not match, or where a wrong Aadhaar has been linked. Online Rectification: Employers can now submit online JD requests to correct details like name, gender or date of birth. This also applies to cases where a wrong Aadhaar number was linked by mistake. Physical submission: If a company is closed or an employer is unavailable, a member can submit a physical JD form. This form, attested by authorized officials, can be submitted at the Public Relations Officer (PRO) counter, who will then upload it for processing post verification. However, it's important to note that changes to Aadhaar details that have already been verified will not be cleared. No guardianship certificate required: In a major relief for minor beneficiaries, the EPFO no longer requires guardianship certificates for claim settlements to a deceased member's minor children. Direct bank credit: Benefits, including both lump sum settlements and pension amounts, can be directly credited to the child's bank account. PRO assistance: In order to streamline this process, EPFO officials are instructed to help claimants open accounts for minors to ensure timely and hassle-free payouts. An user can easily link their Aadhaar to UAN using a government set up platform, called UMANG mobile app. In order to do so, follow these steps: Access the UMANG app and log in using your MPIN or OTP. Navigate to the "Services" tab and select "EPFO" option. Under the EPFO option, choose "e-KYC services". Select the "Aadhaar Seeding" option. Enter your UAN and then enter the OTP that is sent to the registered mobile number. Enter your Aadhaar details and verify OTP sent to Aadhaar-linked mobile number and email. Once the verification process is over and successful, your Aadhaar will be linked to UAN. While the initial linking can be done within minutes, the actual verification and approval by the authorities can take up to 15 days. Typically, it takes around 3-5 days for the process to complete.

Anna Canteens a lifeline for Vizag low-income workers
Visakhapatnam: Anna Canteens in Visakhapatnam have emerged as a major success since their relaunch in Sep last year. As of July 2025, nearly 65 lakh meals have been served across the 25 canteens in the city, where meals are offered at a nominal price of Rs 5. About 24,950 people dine at these canteens daily. Located near high-traffic areas and hospitals, the canteens have become a key support system for daily wage workers, low-income employees, and unemployed youth preparing for competitive exams in the city. They are also a boon for the floating population, especially those visiting Vizag for medical or other short-term purposes, who would otherwise spend about Rs 100 per meal even at modest restaurants. Launched by the previous TDP govt in 2018 as part of a state-wide welf are effort, the scheme was discontinued in 2019 by the YSRCP govt after it came to power in the state. As promised in its 2024 election manifesto, the TDP-led NDA govt revived the scheme soon after returning to power. In Visakhapatnam, 25 canteens reopened under the program, with Rs 3.3 crore allocated for their renovation. Before their initial rollout in 2018, the govt had sent a delegation of civic officials to study the operations of Amma Canteens in Chennai and Annapurna Canteens in Hyderabad. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Seniors are going crazy for these comfy, stylish, easy-on shoes Ultra-Comfortable Shoes Undo The visit helped shape the guidelines and operational framework for Andhra Pradesh's own version of subsidised canteens. GVMC mayor P Srinivasa Rao said about 65 lakh meals have been served through these canteens in just nine months. "People have expressed satisfaction with the quality of breakfast, lunch, and dinner. GVMC officials, along with the commissioner, are regularly monitoring operations and collecting public feedback to ensure efficient service," said the mayor. Local vendor Dukka Suribabu, who sells fruits near MVP Rythu Bazaar, said he often eats at the nearby Anna Canteen. "Offering a meal at just Rs 5 is a huge help for people like us who can't afford restaurant prices. Even roadside eateries in MVP Colony charge no less than Rs 60 for a basic meal," said Suribabu. An electronic token system is in place to manage meal distribution. Beneficiaries must present Aadhaar credentials for token issuance. In the absence of Aadhaar card, fingerprints or facial recognition data are collected for future records. Each canteen spans approximately 750 square feet and is designed to serve food to at least 350 people at a time. The canteens serve three idlis, chutney, and sambar as breakfast from 7:30 am to 10 am three days a week, and puri or pongal with kurma on the remaining days. Lunch is served from 12 pm to 3 pm, and dinner from 7:30 pm to 9 pm, which include rice, curry, dal, sambar, curd, and chutney. Special rice is served once a week. The canteens remain closed on Sundays. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
