Leveraging Aadhaar for improving the services of EPFO – regarding.
Employees Provident Fund Organisation
Ministry of Labour & Employment, Govt. Of India
R-I/UID/2010/37496
Date: 06.02.2013 (6 FEB 2013)
To
All ACCs (Political states),
All RPFC-I (In-charge of Regions),
AH RPFC-II (In-charge of SROs)
(Through web circulation)
Sir,
This ¡s in reference to Head Office letter No. RI(UID/2010/300351 dated
21.01.2013 on the subject cited above. The issue of expeditious
enrolment of the EPF members was discussed with UIDAI Officials. ¡t has
emerged that UIDA1 through its registrars has been
organising enrollment camps in 18 states only. Register General of India
(RGI) has been collecting data in respect of the remaining states
through National Population Register (NPR). While the data collected by
RGI is also being processed for issue of Aadhaar numbers by UIDAI, the
methodology used by RGI for setting up enrolment camps is different i.e.
it is being done on the basis of house-to-house data collected by
enumerators during Census Operations 2011, unlike UIDAI camps, where any
resident, Irrespective of the place of residence, can get himself
enrolled for Aadhaar number. This enrolment may take considerable time.
In view of the discussions held with UIDAI officials and the time
required in the process of obtaining Aadhaar numbers, it may not be
possible to obtain Aadhaar number / Aadhaar Enrolment number by EPF
members by 1st March,2013. Therefore, it has been decided to not to make
Aadhaar Number / Enrolment number mandatory for EPF members from 1st
March, 2013. However, the field offices would make maximum efforts to
obtain the available Aadhaar numbers of the EPF members.
Further your attention is invited to Head Office letter no.
MIS-II/ISO-9001/2011-12/24686 dated 9th November 2012 on implementation
of ISO 9001 Certification for the field offices which is a mandatory
success indicator under the Results Framework Document (RFD). The
updation of members’ master in database ¡s one of the standards required
for the purpose. In view of the benefits that would accrue both to the
EPF members as well as EPFO, It has now been decided to collect the core
banking account number of all the contributing members as indicated In
ECR.
The Regional offices and Sub-Regional offices should make an all-out
effort to collect the core banking account numbers in respect of all the
contributing members as indicated in ECR. Compliance of instructions
may kindly be ensured in this regard.
Yours faithfully,
sd/-
