Subject: Mandatory Allotment and activation of UAN through UMANG APP using FAT -reg.
Madam/Sir,
Kind reference is invited to Circular No. WSU/Member Profile/E710137/2025-26/17 dated 08/Apr/2025 vide which a simple and robust process for allotment/generation and activation of UAN was introduced in the UMANG APР leveraging aadhaar based Face Authentication Technology (FAT).
In this connection, in order to ensure error-free generation of UAN, it has been decided that w.e.f. 1st August, 2025 the allotment/generation of UAN will be done only through the aadhaar based Face Authentication Technology (FAT) in UMANG App. However, the existing process of generation of UAN through the Employer will continue in respect of exceptional cases like International Workers and Citizens of Nepal and Bhutan. The detailed User Manual for allotment and activation of UAN through UMANG APP using FAT has already been enclosed along with the Circular dated 08/Apr/2025.
[This has the approval of CPFC]
