EPFO Update – PF employees’ money could get stuck, complete this task ASAP

EPFO New Rules 2026: The government constantly introduces new rules and regulations for PF employees. Violation of these rules will lead to delays in various PF-related tasks, which will be a major setback. EPFO ​​has now introduced a new rule for PF employees, which must be followed at all costs.

Ignoring this rule can be costly. Therefore, PF account holders should update their KYC. If you haven’t updated your KYC yet, you should do so soon. This will make things easier for PF employees. They will also be able to withdraw their PF money easily without any difficulties.

Inactive Accounts to be Activated

According to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, millions of EPF accounts in the country have become inactive or dormant. The biggest reason behind this is the failure to update KYC details. Many employees are also unaware that their savings are stuck in old or non-operational accounts.

Through KYC, inactive accounts can be identified and activated. For this, verification of the account holder’s KYC is essential. The account and PF amount can be linked with valid documents. Certain documents are required for KYC. These include Aadhaar number, PAN card, bank account details linked to Aadhaar, correct name, date of birth, and mobile number.

Understand the KYC Process Correctly

First, you need to log in to the EPFO ​​Member Portal with your UAN, password, and captcha.

Then click on the ‘Manage’ tab and select ‘KYC’ from the dropdown menu.

Check the box next to the document you want to update.

Fill in the necessary information correctly, including bank account, PAN, and IFSC number.

Then upload the scanned copy of the document.

Then click on ‘Save’.

After that, you will have to verify the bank details with IFSC and Aadhaar OTP.

Then your request will be sent to your employer for digital approval.

Finally, EPFO ​​will perform the final verification. Once approved, you will be notified via SMS.
