Ratings and reviews

Can't check Adhaar status because the app doesn't accept the 28 character enrollment ID. In fact, it throws an error if you enter more than 14 digits. Did anyone test before going live? EDIT: Nearly TWO MONTHS have passed and the developer hasn't even acknowledged the issue, let alone fixed it.

Very poor experience. When it comes to withdrawing our own PF money in emergency, the process is extremely slow. Even after applying for advance withdrawal during urgent need, the claim stays “Under Process” for many days. This kind of delay defeats the purpose of emergency funds. Expected faster processing in Digital India, but the ground reality is disappointing.

Very poor app. Took ages to register. Would keep showing error message "Something went wrong". What is this something even app creator probably does not know. Then when it finally did and I tried to register EPF grievance, when I enter my UAN in the UAN field and click on verify, it would give a error message too many OTP attempts made. This is despite of the fact I tried to use app after more than 24 hours of registering it. Total waste of time and space on phone.
