Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) runs a social security scheme. Workers and employers both make a contribution to this fund. Along with the savings you make, you get an interest. The money generated through this scheme gives a kind of financial stability after your retirement period. At present, it has become very simple to check your balance on DigiLocker.
EPFO is a provident fund service for salaried workers. It caters to the needs of both employees of the government and the private sector. The plan gradually creates a retirement fund for you. In addition to this, you will be getting a monthly pension after retirement. Your savings get compounded with the annual rate of interest for sure.
DigiLocker is a digital storage space for your EPFO related records. You can get access to your UAN card using this application. Also, your pension payment order is kept here. Your scheme certificate is also accessible from this platform. There is no requirement for hard copies anymore.
The first step is to get the DigiLocker app from Play Store. On your Android smartphone, install the software. Make sure you do the installation correctly. Have a reliable internet connection. It is a prerequisite for the proper functioning of the app.
DigiLocker is a phone application. New users need to create an account. Already registered users can sign in directly. Mobile number is compulsory for registration. OTP verifies your registration.
Attach your Aadhaar card to your DigiLocker. This step securely confirms your identity. It opens the doors to government services. Make sure that your Aadhaar is connected to your mobile number. This will avoid problems in the verification process.
The place where you can find the EPFO option is the app. Connect the provident fund account with DigiLocker by syncing it. Take your UAN number as an example for this activity. The system will grab your account details. This may be a little slow.
