Fake features and fake profiles

I have recently started using my phone for the same purpose but it’s been very difficult and frustrating and the only way that I’ve found out about this new technology to help with this problem was by doing the following exercises that were very helpful to my anxiety attacks that were really hard and very difficult for my brain and the ones where the problem came to my mind is when you do this you don’t want me and then when you’re trying not being able enough for the other people so that makes you feel better I just don’t know what you mean to me and it’s hard and I’m just really trying and I’m just not really trying but I’m just kind and honest to myself and it’s hard for you to understand how much of that makes it difficult

Beg for your own money

I have been trying to withdraw money from my epfo account from last 2 months but it is showing that I don’t have permission to use this service. After sometime somehow it started and sent me OTP I entered it and at last step it thrown an error saying there is a technical issue at their site. To get support for this I tried to contact them on their support number but it is not working. Email I sent through umang app but the in my sent email folder I couldn’t find that I sent them. Chat support keeps rotating and comes back to homepage. It is giving me a feeling that I am begging for my own money. Worst government and worst service through their worst app.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

UMANG: One App to Collect Every Broken Govt App

This app is exhausting. UMANG is basically a bundle of the worst govt app experiences, and EPFO inside it is the worst of the lot.

EPFO keeps sending you in circles. It asks for bank account verification even when the bank account is already verified and visible in the profile. EPFO Grievance registration asks for UAN even though I’m already logged in and the app is obviously pulling my passbook/details from that same UAN. Then when I enter the UAN, it says “OTP limit reached, try again in 24 hours”… but there is no OTP field anywhere and no OTP is even sent. So I’m locked out by an OTP that doesn’t exist. Brilliant.

At this point it honestly feels less like bugs and more like deliberate roadblocks so people give up on withdrawals or complaints.

Even UMANG’s feedback box is broken — it doesn’t accept spaces. Almost feels intentional so they can discard complaints as unreadable.

Please fix the basics: stop redundant verification loops, make grievance flow logical, and don’t block users with phantom OTP and verification errors.

UAN activation

I have been desperately trying to activate my UAN for the past few days, and all I keep getting is the same useless “unexpected error occurred” message over and over again. This is beyond pathetic. For a platform that people depend on for such an important service, this level of incompetence is shocking. I am in the middle of a financial emergency and need to withdraw money from my PF account — but thanks to this broken system, I am completely blocked and helpless.

The experience has been beyond frustrating — it’s a complete waste of time and energy. If something as basic as UAN activation cannot be made to work reliably, it raises serious doubts about the efficiency and accountability of the entire system.

Worst experience ever — shameful and unacceptable.

At their convenience

This app operates at their convenience & not as per customers need. Most of the time some thing or the other goes wrong with the app ( technical error or under maintenance most of the time ). They promote technology on their Twitter ( now know as X ). More than technology customers need human touch too, both are missing in their part. Neither their technology works nor their email support works ( because nobody wants to reply ).

Bad experience for UAN allotment

On 5th August 2025, there was a new rule which meant employer can no longer generate UAN number for employees and the employee must do it themselves. Thus, there was this service on UMANG “UAN allotment and activation”. This service has worked well for some but some of us are causing major issues because of this and losing our jobs. When I tried to use the service for the past 15 days, after entering the OTP, I got the error message “Unexpected error occurred”. Today I tried again and I reached Aadhar face verification stage. At this stage I got a new error “Duplicate or no transaction history found for OTP verificaiton”. I tried again at night and now I am facing the error at the same stage but the message is different. It has changed to “Error occurred while getting OTP verification details. Kindly retry !!”. If you cannot handle so many users at one point, atleast open an offline service for the people facing issues. The worst part about this is we cannot use our laptops to access this service or do it offline, UMANG is the only way which doesn’t work for me. I request the team to please work on this issue and put more effort into testing the application before pushing it to production since this is a very important service. Even 1 star is a lot considering the experience I have faced.

App is somewhere in between the technical glitches

First time in my life i have seen a app where the feature has more than three months of everyday technical issue and the team is working for more than three month’s every day, like passbook feature, the otp messaging are pitiful and frustrating, everyone on the comments and online are complaining about the epfo services application, Im trying to track the claim status, magically my account which i raised claim using my registered number is not at all associated with the account and umaang wont send otp stating “This Mobile number is not registered with UMANG. Please visit New User section for completing registration process.”, when I panicked and logged out and try to register it’s giving number already registered, please login, really 🤣🥲, most of places over the internet, the team mentioned due to server issues, so you guys know about the outages caused due to the traffic and glitches, and not try to scale the process, if technical issues coming this frequently, i mean then it’s not about servers but there is seriously wrong with the developer team who are handling this.

SERVICE REVIEW

I downloaded this app hoping to keep occasional track of my PF. But honestly, both the EPFO website and this app are among the worst digital platforms I’ve ever used.
For the past three hours, I’ve been trying to log in. Every time it’s either Invalid UAN or Password or Invalid Captcha and that too after waiting for 10mins of reloading time.
Then I tried the Umang app—same issue.
If you’re building a new platform that replicates the same broken experience as the old one, what’s the point of building it at all? Instead of making access easier, you’ve just added another layer of frustration.
Why waste people’s time like this?

Life certificate working

I have been trying to submit my life certificate for my EPFO pension. However, I encounter error when it is attempting to connect to Aadhaar Face ID app. Repeatedly, I am getting error that not able to connect. My life certificate is overdue and my pension has stopped.
15th May 2025: I am happy to receive developer response that it is working. I missed to mention that I have been trying to do this from abroad. So, I tried using my mobile with international roaming by disabling Wi-Fi. It immediately worked. Thanks for the response and the facility.

Extremely Disappointed with Umang App – Pathetic Experience

I’m absolutely frustrated with the Umang app. Every time I try to log in to access my EPFO details, I keep getting the same “technical error”. It’s been going on for days now, and there’s no fix in sight. This is supposed to be a government-backed platform to make services easier for citizens, but it’s doing the exact opposite.

Why is the government even promoting such half-baked apps if they can’t ensure basic functionality? Logging in should not feel like a rocket science mission. It’s high time the authorities invest proper funds in app development and maintenance. This is public data we’re talking about, not some trial project.

Highly disappointed. Do better!

Dear Affan, Inconvenience caused is deeply regretted. EPFO services were interrupted due to maintenance work with their servers. The issue is now fixed, and EPFO services are working fine. We request you to try again, and if you still face any issue, please email us at customercare@umang.gov.in or call us at 10505.

Bad experience with payments.

There is no proper support. Each time you call they say check with concern department. The numbers contract details provided are outdated or the numbers are invalid. No replies to email. The support makes you to disconnect call if they can’t understand your language. Where as we clearly specify the language of choice at start. Live support app gets disconnected. Once you share a screen shot or image or can’t type again the image keeps getting uploaded. My payment has been stuck. And I have no one to contact. Are these apps, services even tested before allowing consumers to use?

EPFO Technical issue most of the time

I have been monitoring EPFO for more than 2 months and I get the technical error pop up most of the times when I try to either request for the OTP or post login click on the PF.

Message for the team that looks into the reviews and replies to end users in the play store:

The technical issue is not new , there are many false promises that the review team has posted in the old ratings in the play store that the technical errors are fixed in EPFO section but the reality is that it still exists and many users are frustrated with the EPFO development team, this is purely hitting on the government reputation as well just because of incapable dev team. Review Team - Please don’t fool us by giving short term fixes and for the sake of your reputation please fix the high EPFO system downtime.

It would never be useful just think i need it in tow days or today but your process take more then 15 days why ? And you dont even give us the exact amount i have no option to select the DLCP in umang aap UI is good but service and server are so worst i hope you can anything about them

Response from developer

Dear Yukti, We are sorry for the inconvenience. To let you know, UMANG never intervene in claim process, status update, settlement time & claim acceptance/rejection. All claim process works according to EPFO policies. To know expected date of claim settlement, we request you to contact EPFO. You may also raise grievance to EPFO for the same. Also, there appears to be some intermittent issue in connecting to the EPFO servers. We are examining the issue to avoid further occurrence. Inconvenience caused is regretted. The issue will be resolved very soon, our tech team is working on priority.

Terrible app which does not work with EPFO for Aadhaar seeding

Unable to link my Aadhaar with the UAN number through this app because when you click on Aadhaar seeding and enter your UAN it does nothing. It does not allow you to request OTP and then submit your Aadhaar number.

The worst part is that the EPFO portal (web) requires your Aadhaar to reset the password even if the Aadhaar is not even linked. And therefore you’re effectively locked out of your account because 1) unable to use Umang app where you can login with OTP to link Aadhaar and 2) unable to reset password to log into the EPFO portal and link Aadhaar from there.

What use is this app if basic things don’t work?

Lots of coding issue

1 star for causing too much frustration.
i dont know if this was developed by private contractor or own government IT agency but it seems developer loves sending OTP whenever you click any TAB in the application.
doesn’t matter where you click you will be bombardment with OTPs and when you actually want to verify OTP accessing any portal such as EPFO then you get error message Like OTP expired

point is this app is poorly coded and user experience was not the intention of a developer.

This app hangs and sometimes not even function.

This app caused so much mental trauma when i wanted to access EPFO after login and they kept on showing error messages like you are already logged in after showing pop up window to get OTP.

Way too many problems with application especially with digilocker which cant even identify me with adhar or mobile number

Cant even design simple user friendly app and it shows me the capacity of coders In India.

Non functional

Looks easy but when u open a particular service like in my case epfo .. i have gone through all the steps of authentication and i dont mind to re-login each time as well .. but somehow it does not load up the details and does not provide me with any update as well. I just says it is running on an older version and needs update or some error. While i check for an update it shows already updated on app store. Sometimes it shows that the aadhar seeding is successful while sometimes it gives me an error saying aadhar is not authenticated with the UAN ( strange 🙄)

App

App was not working. After login immediately it used logs out and was getting warning message as ‘your session has expired. Please login again’

Reported above issue on 14th April 2020. But to my surprise the developer of the fixed so quickly in a day time and received update that issue is addressed. I am really impressed because generally Government owned stuffs takes time to fix. So I have changed the rating from 1 star to 5 star because of the app support. Keep up the good work😀

Great Initiative

First if I would like to appreciate the effort taken by Govt. of India I. Digitising all the central and state government services.

It makes life easier to see all services under one roof. Even though there are glitches, bugs and room for improvement. I truly appreciate the effort. Also I see oly 250+ users installed this application. Which is very bad from our citizens. We should encourage our govt by supporting digital India.

I see many Appl from Gujarat. But I feel bad that none of the services are provided by Tamil Nadu govt yet. Tamilnadu wake up and work hard to digitise all your service to let go off corruption

Great idea great App

It is often painstaking to do things at a government office. Atleast that is my perception. But perception can change over time because of Apps like this. For instance, I used UPFO and i can view all the details. My account information, Employee share. I can even raise a claim to initiate withdrawl. That is amazing!

Though there is room for improvement in terms of user experience, the idea of unifying all the government services in one is really something to be appreciated.
I'll definitely recommend this to my collegues.
