What Is DigiLocker and How It Helps EPFO Members


The DigiLocker app, launched by the Government of India, serves as a digital document wallet that stores verified government-issued documents. By integrating EPFO services into the platform, users can now view and download their UAN card, Pension Payment Order (PPO), and PF passbook without visiting any EPFO office or using the UMANG app.

This initiative ensures faster access, enhanced security, and greater transparency for millions of salaried employees across the country.

Step 2: Register or log in using your mobile number or Aadhaar-linked credentials.

Step 3: Navigate to the EPFO section within the app and choose the relevant service.

Step 4: Enter your Aadhaar number to link your EPFO account with DigiLocker.
