Inaccessible UIDAI system leaves Aadhaar users in lurch

EPFO, PAN linking with Aadhaar cards stalled ahead of deadlines
The IT systems of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) have been down over the past week, putting Aadhaar holders in a tizzy as deadlines loom to link their UIDAI identity details with their Employees’ Provident Fund Accounts and the Income tax department’s Permanent Account Number (PAN). That the new Income Tax portal is yet to become fully functional, has compounded problems for those seeking to link their Aadhaar to PAN by September 30. Separately, by August 31, all EPFO members are required to link their Aadhaar cards in order to continue to deposit their monthly PF contributions. Even those who just want to update their Aadhaar particulars to correct mismatches with other identity documents are at their wits’ end, with several users complaining that attempts to update details were not getting through online as well as at offline Aadhaar centres due to technical issues.More Related News
