Changed Salary Account? Update These New Details in EPFO Now or Face Trouble While Withdrawing PF

UAN Bank Details Change: Many people change their salary bank account due to job change or other reasons. But if the information about that change is not updated in the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) profile, then you may face big problems while withdrawing PF in the future. Because, the bank information linked to your Universal Account Number (UAN) does not change automatically.

According to experts, if the old account is closed or inactive, the PF claim may be cancelled. In that case, you have to apply again, resulting in a delay of a few weeks. Many times, even if the employer updates the salary record, the bank account linked to EPFO ​​does not change. It should be remembered that only one active bank account can be linked to a UAN at a time.

How to update?

First, you have to log in to the official portal of EPFO ​​(unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in). Then go to the ‘Manage’ option and select ‘Modify Basic Details’. There, you have to submit the application with the necessary information including the new bank account number, IFSC code. The change will be effective after verification is completed by the HR or payroll department of the organisation.
