After this, go to the ‘Manage’ tab and select the Contact Details option. Here, after entering the new mobile number twice, click on Get Authorization PIN. A 4-digit PIN will be sent to your new number, after entering which you have to click on ‘Save Changes’. After this, confirmation of mobile number update is sent by EPFO ​​​​through SMS.
