Accessing government services traditionally meant visiting different offices, searching multiple websites, filling out separate forms and keeping track of several portals. The UMANG App makes many of these tasks easier by bringing a wide range of Central Government, State Government and local-body services together on one digital platform.

UMANG stands for Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance. It is a Digital India initiative developed and managed by the National e-Governance Division (NeGD) under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

Through UMANG, citizens can explore government schemes, use online public services, access DigiLocker-linked documents, check applications and transactions, pay certain utility bills, and use services related to pensions, employment, education, transport and more.

As of July 31, 2026, approximately 2,575 government services were available through UMANG, including 880 Central Government and 1,695 State Government services. The platform had more than 11.66 crore registered users.

If you want to understand how UMANG works, what services are available and how to use it safely, this complete guide will help.

What Is the UMANG App?

UMANG is designed as a single digital gateway for government services. Instead of downloading a separate app for every department, users can search for participating services through one application or the UMANG web portal.

UMANG was launched in 2017 and has gradually expanded by integrating services provided by Central ministries, State Governments, local authorities and other public bodies.

Users can access UMANG through its Android and iOS mobile applications as well as through the official website. The platform is intended to allow citizens to use many government services anytime and from anywhere.

What Can You Do on UMANG?

The biggest advantage of UMANG is that it combines different types of digital government services within one platform.

Depending on the department, state and service availability, users may be able to perform activities such as:

• Search for Central and State Government schemes
• Access DigiLocker-linked documents
• Check EPFO-related information and services
• Access pension-related services
• Use PAN and certain Aadhaar-related services
• Access driving licence and transport services
• Pay supported utility bills
• View examination-related services and results
• Explore scholarship services
• Access employment-related services
• Check application or transaction status
• Use selected LPG-related services
• Access public welfare and social-security services

Government information published in 2026 lists services including EPFO balance and claims, PAN and Aadhaar-related services, DigiLocker, utility payments, pensions, scholarships, passport-related services, driving licence services and exam results among examples available through UMANG.

The exact services available to an individual can change as departments add, update or temporarily modify their integrations.

Government Schemes on UMANG

One useful feature of UMANG is the ability to discover government schemes from a single platform.

Users can explore schemes based on factors such as their state and personal eligibility profile. The scheme-discovery system can ask questions relating to categories such as state, gender, social category, BPL status, disability and senior-citizen status to help identify potentially relevant schemes.

This can make it easier to discover schemes without manually visiting dozens of department websites.

However, finding a scheme on UMANG does not automatically mean you qualify for it. Each government scheme has separate eligibility rules, documentation requirements and application procedures.

Always read the complete scheme conditions before applying.

Access Documents Through DigiLocker

UMANG is integrated with DigiLocker, allowing users to access supported digital documents through the platform.

The official UMANG website highlights document access for items such as:

• Aadhaar-related documents
• Driving Licence
• PAN
• Vehicle Registration Certificate
• Other documents available through DigiLocker

DigiLocker documents are digitally issued or made available by participating issuers. This can reduce the need to carry physical copies of frequently required documents.

The availability of a particular document depends on whether the relevant issuing authority supports it through DigiLocker.

How to Download the UMANG App

The UMANG mobile app is available for both Android and iOS devices.

For Android, search for the official UMANG app on the Google Play Store. iPhone users can find it through Apple’s App Store.

Before installing, check the app name and publisher carefully so that you do not accidentally install an unofficial application.

You can also access UMANG through its official web platform if you prefer using a computer.

How to Register on UMANG

Creating an account is relatively simple.

Step 1: Open UMANG

Open the official UMANG app or web portal.

Step 2: Select Login/Register

Choose the registration or login option.

Step 3: Enter Mobile Number

Provide your mobile number and request an OTP.

Step 4: Verify OTP

Enter the OTP received on your mobile number.

Step 5: Create MPIN

After verification, you may be asked to provide the required details and create an MPIN for future login.

Official guidance states that users can subsequently log in using an MPIN, OTP or supported DigiLocker account credentials.

Never share your OTP or MPIN with another person.

How to Find a Government Service on UMANG

Once you are logged in, the easiest way to find a service is through the search option.

For example, if you need a pension-related service, search using terms such as:

Pension

Similarly, you can search using department or service keywords such as:

EPFO

DigiLocker

Driving Licence

Scholarship

Electricity Bill

PAN

If you do not know the exact service name, browse the available categories or State Government section.

Official UMANG guidance confirms that users can search directly or browse categories from the dashboard to locate relevant services.

How to Use a Service on UMANG

The exact process depends on the government department.

In general:

1. Log in to UMANG.
2. Search for the required department or service.
3. Open the official service page.
4. Read the eligibility or instructions.
5. Enter the requested information.
6. Complete authentication if required.
7. Upload or retrieve documents where applicable.
8. Submit the request or payment.
9. Save the acknowledgement or transaction information.

Some services only provide information, while others allow users to submit applications, download documents, make payments or track requests.

Can You Pay Bills Through UMANG?

UMANG includes selected transaction and utility-related services.

Depending on available integrations, users may find options relating to bills, applications and other transactions. The official UMANG platform specifically highlights bills, applications and transaction status among its supported functions.

Always review the amount and service provider information carefully before confirming a payment.

After completing a transaction, save the receipt or acknowledgement whenever available.

Benefits of Using the UMANG App

One major advantage is convenience.

Instead of remembering multiple government portal addresses, citizens can begin their search from a single platform.

UMANG can also reduce unnecessary travel to government offices for services that are available digitally.

Other advantages include access to both Central and State services, integration with DigiLocker, online transaction tracking and availability through mobile and web platforms.

The government describes UMANG as a single unified interface intended to make public services available from home while saving users time and travel costs.

Is UMANG Safe to Use?

UMANG is an official Digital India platform managed by NeGD under MeitY.

However, users should still follow basic digital-security practices.

Download the application only through official sources, never reveal your OTP or MPIN, avoid logging in from unknown devices, check service details before making payments and never respond to unofficial messages promising guaranteed government benefits.

Government schemes generally have specific eligibility and verification processes. An unknown caller or social-media account cannot guarantee approval simply by collecting a fee.

What to Do If a Service Is Not Available

UMANG integrates services from many independent government departments. As a result, a service may occasionally be unavailable because of maintenance, department-side changes or technical issues.

If you cannot find a service:

Check the spelling of the department name, search using related keywords, look under your State section and verify whether the service is currently available.

You can also use UMANG’s help and customer-support options.

The official UMANG portal currently lists the support number 10505 and states that assistance is available on all days of the week from 10 AM to 6 PM.
