Web Umang Android App Download
This app can be downloaded from the app store of your mobile operating system. A link on the EPFO’s website, https://web.umang.gov.in, will also lead you to the to the app’s download page. To initialise it, you will need to give it permissions to access your location, SMS and calls data.
To register, you will get a one-time password (OTP) on the mobile number on the device on which the app is downloaded. At this stage, you have to choose two security questions, which can be used to recover your account from the app if you lose access to your account or forget its PIN.
Next, the app will prompt you to link your Aadhaar number. For now, linking Aadhaar number here is voluntary and you can skip this step. However, if you chose to link you will be giving your consent to the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to use your Aadhaar details for eKYC. With this, your KYC details will automatically be seeded in your profile and your name, date of birth, gender and address will be populated for you in the next page. If not, the app will prompt you to input these details. However, here too you can have the option to skip this process.
“Since most government services will be linked to Aadhaar, it makes sense to integrate it with UMANG,” said a senior official in the ministry of electronics and information technology, referring to Unified Mobile App for New-Age Governance which will be a mobile gateway to central, state and municipal services.
“UMANG will enable citizens to download a single mobile app instead of multiple apps for each department, and make it easy for them to discover government services,” the official said. Spice Digital, a part of the Noida-based Spice Connect group, has been contracted to develop the first set of apps as part of UMANG.
“The app will have a section where the citizen can update their preferences, frequently accessed services and short-cuts, languages, and so on, which will then be available for all services so that data entry can be minimised,” said Jatinder Verma, president of Spice Digital. The government already has an existing app store platform called “Mobile Seva” which hosts applications from different government departments, leading to a multiplicity of apps.
