EPFO Update: If you are a PF account holder and your name, date of birth, father’s name, or employment details are recorded incorrectly in your account, you no longer need to visit an EPFO office to have them corrected. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) provides a ‘Joint Declaration’ facility for its members, allowing eligible individuals to submit requests for corrections online.
To do this task, you must log in to the EPFO’s Unified Member Portal, enter the correct information, and submit the necessary supporting documents. Let’s look at the entire process in detail.
What information can be corrected in a PF account?
Through the Joint Declaration facility, you can request corrections for various details recorded in your PF account. This includes the account holder’s name, date of birth, gender, father’s or mother’s name, marital status, date of joining, date of leaving, etc. Specific documentation may be required for each type of change. In some cases, approval from your employer may also be necessary.
