The National e-Governance Division (NeGD) has announced the integration of the UMANG app with the DigiLocker wallet app. With the latest version of the DigiLocker app, users are provided an option at the bottom to access the UMANG portal, offering a wide range of government services within a single platform.
The UMANG app allows users to access various government services, such as Aadhaar, PAN, and EPFO, digitally from the central, state, and local levels. DigiLocker, on the other hand, enables users to store, share, and verify documents and certificates online.
The integration of both services makes it easier for citizens to interact with the government in an efficient, digital-first manner. Existing DigiLocker users should upgrade to the latest version via the Play Store to access UMANG services. Once installed, you need to click on the Umang icon within the DigiLocker app and install the Umang app when prompted.
Since the UMANG app’s iOS support is still under development, the latest integration will take some time to reach iOS users in India. More updates are expected in the coming months.
Regarding the matter, the Ministry of Electronics & IT stated,
DigiLocker is a flagship initiative under the Digital India program aimed at providing secure cloud-based storage of essential documents. By integrating with e-governance services such as UMANG, DigiLocker further is committed to further enhance accessibility and ease of living.
