EPFO Update: Mobile number linked to the PF account is not active? Learn how to update at home
You usually get important information related to a PF (Provident Fund) account on mobile only. If you are an Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) member, then to get any information through the site or Umang App, it is very important for the number registered in your PF account to be active because OTP comes on the same. In such a situation, if the EPFO registered mobile number becomes inactive then there may be trouble.
Today, in the era of digitalization, the importance of mobile has increased a lot. Especially, if we talk about banking or any other financial aspect. Whenever any transaction takes place in your account, you get the information immediately through SMS or mail. If any illegal transaction has taken place, you can take the necessary steps to stop it.
It is not just about banking, you also get important details related to PF (Provident Fund) or pension account on your mobile. If you are an Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) member, then to get any information through the website or Umang App, it is very important for the number registered in your PF account to be active, because the OTP comes on the same.
Many times it happens that the number registered in the PF account is not active. In such a situation, you may miss many important information. Also, if you want to make any updates to your account yourself, you will not be able to do that either. For this, first of all, you have to update the new number in the PF account. You can do this work even sitting at home.
EPFO sends important information to its members on their mobile numbers only.
