ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

(a) to (d):    A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and Common Service Center (CSC) in 2016, which listed a number of online services of EPFO that will be provided through the CSC’s Network. With the deployment of EPFO’s own eKYC Portal and the introduction of UMANG App by Government of India in November, 2017, where the service of Universal Account Number (UAN) seeding with Aadhaar is made available free of cost to the members, it was decided to discontinue the services of CSC for this purpose in March 2018.
