As per the EPFO’s latest notifications, seeding of Aadhaar to your EPF UAN is mandatory to avail the online services like EPF transfer, online full EPF withdrawal or EPF advance withdrawal.
However, most of the EPF subscribers have been facing data mismatch issues (between EPF UAN data Vs Aadhaar data) while linking the two. In such a scenario, the EPF member (employee) has to get his/her personal data (like Name, Date of Birth or Gender) corrected in Aadhaar card (or) UAN interface.
If your data is correct in Aadhaar and you would like to get your EPF UAN name updated/changed, the current procedure is a bit lengthy one.
Currently, if an employee wants to correct his/her basic details against UAN, employee and employer are required to submit a joint-request to the concerned EPFO field office.
In order to reduce the paper work, the EPFO has now launched a new facility, where-in an employee can now submit an online request for EPF UAN name correction.
EPF UAN Name correction | New online procedure
Below is the new procedure to get your personal data against UAN corrected;
- Kindly visit EPFO’s Unified Member Portal.
- Login to UAN interface with your credentials.
- Click on ‘Manage’ menu tab and then on ‘Modify Basic Details‘ link.
- You can provide the correct details as per Aadhaar (System will verify the details entered with UIDAI- Aadhaar Data). If you have not not yet seeded your Aadhaar to UAN, can still provide it here. In this screen, you can correct your Name, Date of Birth or gender details. Click on ‘update details’.
- On clicking “Update Details” on previous screen, system will compare the requested changes with similar fields received from Aadhaar (UIDAI).
- After successful verification, your request will be automatically submitted to your employer for further approval. Your employer will then have to transmit it to the EPFO field office online. The EPF staff will then process the requested corrections.
- The EPF ‘Dealing Assistant’ can put the request either for Approval or Rejection by selecting the appropriate option, with proper remarks.
- Until your employer submits it to the EPFO, you have the option to withdraw the request. You can access this option under : Manage -> Modify Basic Details -> Pending Requests -> Delete Request.
In case the correction required in date of birth is more than one year, then in addition to Aadhaar, other valid documents will have to be submitted (Matriculation certificate, Certificate issued by Registrar (Birth), Passport, etc.). The concerned member will be intimated for submission of additional valid proof of birth in such cases while applying online for PF DOB correction.
If you have already verified your Aadhaar number in member portal (i.e., your personal data in Aadhaar matches against UAN data) then you can not edit/update Name, DoB & Gender details. In case, you try to edit your personal details, you will receive a message as ‘Aadhaar is already verified, your details are not editable.’
In such a scenario (also in cases where other details like Father’s name has to be updated), the EPF member can submit a joint-declaration form (below is the template) to the EPFO through his/her employer.
As of now, the EPFO has not yet provided any turn-around time for processing EPF UAN name correction requests. Also, as this is a new online facility, you may face some technical issues in submitting online request(s).

Dear Mona ..Kindly refer to our chat on FB.
Hi Sir,
Below is my scenario.
Company 1-> UAN1->PF1-> Transferred to Company 2
Company 2-> Not linked to UAN1->PF2 -> Transferred to Company 3
Company 3-> UAN1->PF3 -> I have not transferred and is still in place
Company 4-> UAN2-PF4 -> Created new UAN2 here
Company 5-> UAN2-PF5->
my issue is here
Issue#1 -> Company2 Joining date in UAN portal is mentioned with the joining date on Company1
Issue#2 -> Pan verfication failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)
Issue#3 -> Aadhaar authentication failed. AADHAAR number, Name, DOB or Gender mismatch with registered data
Issue#4 -> PF amount accumulated till Company3 needs to be transferred to Company5 (Current Company)
Issue#5 -> Since Company 2 joining date is wrongly updated with that of Company1 joining date any request for a change is going to Company1 approval.
It would be of great help if I’d get your valuable suggestions on the above scenarios/issues.
Regards

Dear Srikanth,
If you have transferred the funds from EPF-1 linked to UAN-1 to EPF-2 linked to UAN-2 then your UAN-1 would have got blocked right??
How is it possible to use UAN-1 again at Company-3?
Thanks for responding, Sreekanth.
UAN1 has PF1,PF2,PF3 accumulated amount and I haven’t transferred that to UAN2 yet.
Dear Srikanth,
Suggest you to consolidate your EPF accounts and transfer the funds to latest EPF account.
All your previous UANs will be blocked.
Request respective companies to update date of joining correctly and also get your Name corrected. Note that your name format should be the same across EPF UAN, PAN and Aadhaar.

Hi Sir,
I have one more doubt, If I try to claim without submitting PAN does 36% TDS apply on my PF?
My service was of 2 years and the amount is less than 50k.
If the amount is less then 50k TDS will not be dedicated.
Budget 2016-17 update : In case of payment of accumulated balance due to an employee in EPF, the TDS limit is being raised from Rs 30,000 to Rs 50,000. So, TDS is not applicable if the PF withdrawal amount is less than Rs 50,000. This new TDS thresh-hold limit will be effective from 1st June, 2016 onwards. Click on the below image to download EPFO’s latest notification on this new amendment.
Hi Sir,

If my option is to send joint declaration form I cannot as i have absconded from my company & cannot contact employer.
Can you please suggest me any other way to claim my PF
Thanks & regards in advance for the help.
Dear krishnaveni,
Off-late many blog readers have been facing this strange issue.
The IT dept actually considers the details from the PAN database itself (NSDL’s) and not sure why this mismatch??
Suggest you to submit your grievances to the EPFO via this link and to the IT dept through e-Nivaran portal.
In case, you find a solution, kindly share it here, thank you!
Thankyou sir, I will do it.
Mean while i have one more doubt, if I try to claim without submitting PAN does 36% TDS apply on my PF?
My service was of 2 years and the amount is less than 50k.
Kindly be aware of this ;
While applying PAN you would have full name with documents, you can name to be printed on card. So what you seen on PAN and income tax website may vary, Income Tax website shows full name with expansion
PAN display name can have short initials but in PAN database the expanded initials are saved (should be provided).
Hello Mr.Srikanth Reddy,
Can you please advice on how long will it take to update the Date of Joining in EPF website after my employer submitted the Joint declaration form at PF office.
Thanks

Dear Chaitanya,
There is no defined time-line as such. The updated date may get reflected in EPFO database within 15 to 60 days.

Hi Sreekanth,
You are doing a great job by providing the suggestions/solutions for most of the issue. I have also one issue with PAN KYC update issue. My name was not matching in income tax department and UAN portals. So I have submitted the form for “name correction in PAN card”. It got updated 3days back in income tax department database. Now UAN, Adhar and PAN has exact name. But still UAN says “Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department”. Any suggestions?

Dear kamesh ..You may kindly go through this article @ What happens to EPS on Transfer of EPF account (or) when you switch Jobs?
Hi Sreekanth,
You’re doing great work. Keep it up.
Here’s my situation: I recently raised a withdrawal request on UAN portal. It got rejected due to PAN mismatch I guess.
Name on PAN: LastName FirstName Father’sName
Name on Aadhaar: FirstName LastName
Name on UAN: FirstName LastName
I guess my claim got rejected because PAN was not verified on UAN portal. I submitted my withdrawal request without PAN verification.
Remarks on the portal says: Claim-Form-10C (EPS Withdrawal/SC)(Withdrawal Benefit / Scheme Certificate) Claim id-MHBAN190xxx06xxxx Member id-MHBAN00xxxxxxxxxx has been rejected due to :- KYC NOT UPDATED BY EMPLOYEER, REQUIRED PAN NUMBER AND F/15 G./OK
I could not submit form 15G as I don’t have PAN verified.
What do you think should be my next step?
Dear Munish,
You can submit online claim request.. and you can submit Fom 15G offline to the concerned EPFO regional office (if possible in person), the very next day..You also have to enclose copy of PAN, claim ref no, Aadhaar..
Sir
Can I withdraw my epf amount + EPs amount for medical purpose of advance. My salary is 15k and I have also esic card.
Sir please suggest me
Dear Bedabrata,
You can not withdraw from EPS.
“For the purpose of ‘medical treatment’, the least of 6 months basic wages (or) employee share with interest is allowed as partial withdrawal.””

I dont understand what do i do now and how foolish these people are.
Dear Venkatesh,
You may have to apply for name correction again.
HI ADHAR LINKING WITH UAN IS VERY WORST PROCESS BY INDIAN GOVERNMENT. WHY THEY ARE MAKING THIS MUCH COMPLEXITY. I REALLY HATE AADHAR CARD. IT IS USELESS DOCUMENT.
Exactly I agree bro. Totally useless. 3 times i changed my PAN card name, still UAN says Aadhar and PAN names not matching. Stupid things done by government.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have only UAN linked to my previous employer PFaccount. I have moved to a new organisation recently. The problem here is , my old employer updated wrong aadhar number to my UAN(they provided UAN no as AAdhar no by mistake). When I ask them now to update the AADHAR no they are trying with EPFO office as it happened to large no of people. Now without that aadhar correction, I cannot link my new EPFO account to UAN.
Please let me know if there is any way to correct my aadhar number in UAN without my employer interference. Can I go to EPFO office and update my aadhar no for my UAN?
AADHAR no is not verified in the UAN site.
Dear RAMA KRISHNA,
You can update your correct Aadhaar number by yourself in KYC section of your UAN account by login to Member portal. You can then request your current employer to approve it. Make sure that i is verified (the name format in EPF UAN should match with as in Aadhaar).
Else, you can also visit EPFO office, submit your Aadhaar copy and get it seeded/verified.
Hi shreekant,
my name on UAN has prefix of Dr to my name, whereas my Aadhar does not have Dr on my name.
I have put the request to modify my name on EPF portal but i have left the company that i was working with, without serving any notice period. will they still verify my request.
Please reply
Dear KJ,
You may request your ex-employer to approve your name correction request and then it will sent to EPFO processing queue. Keep a track of your request status.
Hello,

Hi,
I’m having PF account, I need to withdraw, when I tried to submit the forms, it says PAN and Adhar name is not matching, as per PAN, my name is “Sivakami N” and as per adhar, my name is “Sivakami” which is without my initial, so I have updated my Adhar name. Now my current Adhar name is as per PAN, ie, “Sivakami N”.
After all these procedures, now it is saying “AADHAAR is already verified in unified portal. Your details is not editable.”. So, now as per Adhar, my name is “Sivakami N” but in UAN, it is “Sivakami”. What is the procedure to rectify this problem? I have sent mail to EPFO office, but no response from them, then why they given contact email in the portal I don’t know…
Please someone suggest me some solutions… my email id: sivagami18.**@gmail.com
Dear Sivakami,
Kindly first check if your initial ‘N’ is in full form or not w.r.t PAN by visiting IT e-filing portal.
Short form of initials is not allowed in PAN.
In case, you have to get your name in UAN corrected then you may now have to submit an offline Joint-declaration request through your employer to the EPFO.
You need to submit necessary documentary evidence for the name correction request.
I am also facing same issue sivakami .. and i am trying to find solution ..
now there is only one way as per my knowledge if your aadhar is already verified so you can change the name in pan card b the use of your 10th certificate then after 15 days you can apply then they both can match and you can easily apply still you need help regarding this you can mail me [email protected].
Hi,
The Aadhaar number mentioned is incorrect. Can you suggest ways to rectify the same
Dear Darlet,
You can enter correct Aadhaar details and request your employer to approve the same and then verify it digitally in your UAN interface.
You may also contact the concerned EPFO regional office and get this done.

Dear Jagannadha,

This may take around 30 to 60 days.

Dear suma,
Suggest you to kindly first submit your grievance to the EPFO online and check if your request has been received and is under-process – via this link..
Quoting your UAN is a must for such requests. If your request has not been taken then you may have to start the process all over again.

Hi sreekanth,
I created an o line request to change my dob and sent the 10th certificate as proof.

Reason : SUBMIT REQUEST LETTER WITH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCES

Dear Anupam,
I believe they want you to apply offline, a joint declaration letter through your employer with necessary DoB proofs to the EPFO. Kindly contact your employer.
is pan verification is compulsory for pf advance or only adhar verification is enough. kindly advice.
Dear Abdul,
I believe, to apply for EPF advance online an employee must have seeded his/her Aadhaar, bank account and PAN number to his UAN.
Hi Sreekanth,
I have already verified my Aadhaar number in member portal (i.e., my personal data in Aadhaar matches against UAN data), My name on Pan card was not matching with Adhaar data so i changed my Name on Pan card now i am trying to add it in KYC again but i get Error as ‘Pan verfication failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)’.
what shall i do ?
Dear Shital,
The name format (First name, surname and middle name) between PAN and UAN may not be matching. Kindly re-check.

Could you help as i dont understand the logic here..
Dear Leeann,
You may have to go for offline transfer mode.
I have moved to the states now. Actually I was getting it accepted by current employer, now I raised a request to be attested by previous employer. But if nothing works out is there any other way as I am not in the country.
Dear Leeann,
You may withdraw PF in full from both the EPF accounts separately through respective Employers..

Hi Sir,
My name in EPFO doesn’t match with that of Aadhaar. I would like to update EPFO name. However, I have quit my job. The above method requires employer’s approval. How should I proceed ? Kindly advise me on this.
Dear Haridev,
You can request your previous employer to approve your online name request…
Hello Sreekanth,
Currently my name matches perfectly with UAN and Aadhaar, However there is a mismatch with my PAN name.
There is an initial in my UAN/Aadhaar and that is my preferred and correct name and i do not want to change my UAN or Aadhaar name.
Now since my name has an initial it is not being accepted in the PAN, as it seems initial is not accepted.
With out changing my name in Aadhaar or UAN, How can i update my PAN name so that under the EPFO website, my PAN is verified.
Thanks a lot for your assistance!
Regards
Raghav
Dear Raghav,
The said scenario is not possible.
You may have to get your name in Aadhaar & EPF UAN changed as in PAN (to maintain same format in all the three IDs).
Hi Sreekanth,
My name on pan is ABHIJIT CHAUDHARI and on adhar is Abhijit Kailas Chaudhari. But My name in EPF account is ABHIJIT CHAUDHARY. So they misspelled my last name. Now I want to change my name so Can I change it online under “Modify basic details”. As they need name from adhar and I have middle name in adhar.
Dear Abhijit,
Ideally, the name (format) should be same across UAN, Aadhaar and PAN.
But pan have just first name and last name and adhar have full names on cards

Hi Sreekanth,
I had submitted my pf claim form and its been rejected due to KYC details not linked to UAN portal. Later i requested my employer to update the details in UAN portal but could not link the PAN details due to mismatch in my name. Aadhaar and bank details has been verified by the employer.
Now i have updated my name(Full Name) in Aadhaar, PAN and bank account and also have submitted the joint declaration form for my name correction.
Do i need to request my employer to update my details again as per correction and resubmit the new pf withdrawal form ?
Thanks,
Geetha
Dear Geetha,
If the claim has already been submitted and is in under-process then the EPFO may process it and they may deduct TDS (as pan is not linked/verified).
Below is the process shared by one of my blog readers, you may find it useful ;
“I want to update about my PF withdrawal experience without PAN linking. I had raised a grievance with EPFO and was advised to either correct PAN name to match with UAN or raise online claim and submit PAN copy and FORM15G immediately at PF office. My ex-employer agreed to submit the documents at PF office. I shared my online claim tracking numbers with him which he noted on top of the PAN copy. But my online claim got rejected the first time because my ex-employer went a day after the online claim was submitted. I was told the reject reason as PAN & 15g weren’t available. So the second time , even though he went to PF office on the same day as my online claim request, they rejected it without giving a proper reason. But my ex-employer suspected that they were expecting the online claim PDF acknowledgment to be submitted as well. I raised a grievance again but didn’t get any response.After waiting for couple of weeks I submitted the online claim again & my ex-employer visited the PF office on same day with PDF acknowledgement along with form 15g & PAN. Finally , it was approved. I got my settlement amount within 10 days(both PF & pension). Key take aways from my experience:
1. If PAN & UAN name doesn’t match and can’t be corrected raise a grievance . If the grievance response suggest to raise online claim and submit PAN & FORM 15G at PF office, print the response.
2. Raise the online claim & save the PDF acknowledgement.
3.Visit your PF office on the same day as you raised your online claim with your 1.Grievance response2.PAN CARD COPY 3.FILLED FORM 15G 4. PDF acknowledgment of online claim & submit it.
4. The PDF ack needs to be saved immediately as soon as you submit the claim. Its not available elsewhere in the UAN website once you close the claim page.
5. If for some reason the online claim gets rejected , go to https://goo.gl/kFJRpC and click ‘Know your claim status’ to see the reason. I am assuming that the reject reason will get updated here immediately.”

SIR MY PF ACC NAME AND BOB MISTAKE HOW TO CHANGE SIR…
Dear Shreekanth,
I want to withdraw my PF. My UAN is Active and KYC are verified. But my employer had not updated the DOJ and DOL. After I requested them to update it, my employer updated the wrong DOL. Now, my employer is asking me to send the joint declaration form for the correction of a date along with the copy of a reliving letter. I doubt that this is the correct procedure as employer had made a mistake why should I provide a declaration form and reliving letter. I also contacted EPF office but not getting any reply on this issue. Do you know what is the write procedure and if employer can directly update the DOL without a joint declaration form?
Thank you
Dear Dnyandeep,
I am not sure on this.
But, there is nothing wrong in submitting a joint declaration form to correct the DoL details.
Thanks Sreekanth. The only problem with the joint declration form is that the PF delartment of the company is not in the same city of mine and it will take it longer with the postal way. Was checking if there is any other way to do it.
Sir I have tried correcting my name as per adhaar. As I have changed my name in adhaar. But it is not working still. Adhaar is not getting linked.it is saying g that the changes are not as per adhaar.

Dear Bala,
PAN card name with short initials can be there as Display name. But, only the expanded initials are allowed in PAN database (for taxation purpose).
You may have to get your name in UAN corrected as in PAN & Aadhaar.
In my uan portal my basic details such as gender,date of birth , adhar no. fathers name are not available. due to my employers negligency.
I modified my basic details online , and employer also approved but epfo is not approving because as these details were not available earlier so they cannot modify.
For this I need to submit a joint declaration form with the employer to get the details updated along with supporting documents.
But now I am no longer working with that company.
Where can I get the form so that I get fill the details and send it to employer by courier for further process. ?
Dear SOURABH,
You can request that form either from your employer (or) submit your grievance to the EPFO..click here..

Thanks in advance
Dear sandhya,
1 – Suggest you to just submit your bank details again under KYC section and request your employer to verify and approve them.
2 – Yes. Suggest you to transfer funds from old EPF ac to new EPF ac. Are both the EPF accounts linked to same UAN?
3 –
Purchase of House/Flat through a Society / Housing Agency : If withdrawal application is through a Society then minimum years is 3 years. ( through a registered society or houses/flats being constructed through forming a society.) – Section 68 BD. In this case, 90% of EPF balance is payable as an Advance.
Purchase of House/Flat directly from a Builder : In this case, the Membership service criteria to withdraw is still considered as 5 years only. – they will refer to Section 68B.
For purchase of site directly from builder :
24 month’s basic wages and DA.
For purchase of house/flat/construction:
36 month’s basic wages and DA
OR
Total of employee and employer share with interest
OR
Total cost.
Whichever is least will be allowed as withdrawal.
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal options & rules..

Hi Srikanth,
I already have UAN linked to my all PF accounts. I was trying to link my Aadhar to UAN to avail online services.
I have tried that using Aadhar based UAN allotment option and however got new UAN generated by mistake. Now I got a message to activate new UAN.
What should I do now? Should I ignore the new UAN which is yet to be activated and use the existing UAN?
What impact it will create while withdrawing the amount, however employer and all my PF accounts are linked to old UAN only?
Should i change the PF accounts to new UAN? Please advice
Thanks,
Arif
Dear Arif,
Suggest you not to active the new UAN.
Did you transfer funds from all your old EPF accounts to the latest one?
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for your response.
Yes, I have already transferred all my PF accounts funds to my latest account which is linked to old UAN.
As advised i will not be activating new UAN and will keep use the existing one.

Also when i raised a request for fund transfer for old PF to new PF accounts, i got only PF accounts transfered however pension contribution funds did not get transferred. Please let me know if we have any option to transfer that as well.
Thanks,

Dear Arif,
IF EPF transfer has been done successfully, EPS also gets transferred automatically.
But it wont get reflected in Passbook, but the service period gets carried forward.

Dear Sreekanth,
My Adhar already got updated but not able to update PAN Card. I came to know from many sources that it is just because of name mismatch. But my name is printed as Mahesh Kumar P N in Adhar, Pan Card, bank account and the same name is registered with employer records. Please guide me that in which document I have to change the name. Can I update my name through the EPFO website?
Dear Mahesh,
The display name in PAN can be different to the actual format that has been saved in IT dept (PAN) database, as abbreviations of initials are not allowed in PAN application.
Aadhaar Vs PAN can be linked if there are slight name mismatches provided DoB and gender details match.
The issue is with UAN Vs PAN & Aadhaar.
If possible, get the name corrected in UAN and it should match as in PAN.
Hi Mr. Reddy,
My Aadhar name is showing verified; however, my pan details are showing blank. When i go in modify field, it does not accept the pan number with my name, what do i do? I am at a loss here. My employer helped me fill in my aadhar number, should i do the same for pan? This linking process I don’t get it. There should be a proper portal to address it. Also, could you please tell me what is the last date to link pan and aadhar.
Regards
Rahul
Dear Rahul,
As of now the linking deadline has been extended indefinitely, till the Supreme court delivers its judgement on Aadhaar linking for various services..
You need to provide your Aadhaar under KYC section, get it approved by your employer and then verify it.
Kindly check if your name in Aadhaar is same as in EPF UAN.

As far as I am aware, this should not create any issue.
But, advisable to get your father’s name corrected through a joint-declaration with your employer.
after some trouble my name is correct but now when i’ll go for withdrawal now new problem in my case now showing ”as your establishment is exempted in pf please submit your withdrawal case to concerned trust ” please solve this problem sir
Dear amit,

Hi,
Recently i placed a request for Partial withdrawal for Medical purpose. My pan number is not updated in EPFO will they deduct TDS for that withdrawal amount ?? But my aadhar card is linked with EPFO.
There is a mismatch in name between Pan card & EPFO account. that is the reason the system is allow to link my pan card. also it is allowing to change my name in EPFO, because my aadhar card is already linked.
please let me know what can i do?
Dear MURUGESAN,
Is this an online claim?

Hi Sreekanth,
I have 2 employers for single UAN number, but my aadhar name is against to UAN and PAN(UAN and PAN name also not sync).
Recently I have been requested the name correction for UAN with reference of AADHAR,it is approved by current employer, but waiting for EFPO office approval.
Following are my concerns
If name is updated for UAN, is change reflects in both employers or current employer at members home page and two pass books,
if not can I need to request the past employer to change the name ?
Now I am able to see both employers passbook details under my UAN. After update the name can I able to see both pass books under my UAN.
If it reflects only in current employer, how can I transfer money from past employer to current employer.
Can I update my personal bank details in KYC? is it any effect on current employer?
Kindly clarifies my concerns,it would be appreciate in advance.
Thanks,
Ajay.
Dear Ajay,

Hi
In my uan account , somehow my date of birth and fathers name is not shown..may be due to employers incorrect entry.
I tried to modify the details online.
But my employer has not approved till date and i am no longer working with that company.
How to resolve this and get it done and also becoz of dis m not able to link uan with adhar due to not having complete details in uan portal.
Dear Sourabh,
As of now, these details/requests have to be first approved by the employers only.
Kindly follow it up with your ex-employer.
Else, you may submit your grievance online to the EPFO..click here..
Hi ,
Recently i modified the name in the EPFO portal and it got approved by EPFO and linked with the Aadhar. But it is showing as failed for PAN CARD. If i try to add the KYC of PAN with the PAN Number and the name it is mentioning an error as ““Pan verfication failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)”. Since i already changed the name using the “modify basic details ” once and since it got approved , it is showing as “Cant edit since verified with Aadhar”What would be the reason for the error . Any way of resolving the error so that i can verify the PAN CARD with EPFO
Dear SACHIN,
Kindly check if there is any discrepancy between the name against PAN Vs UAN.
If so, you may have to get it corrected in PAN card.
Hi Sreekanth,
Thanks for the input, i checked the PAN Database where they have mentioned my Expanded one in the IT database and the one in the card is the one with “SACHIN M N”, Which is the one in my Aadhar as well as EPFO Database. i Checked with IT Department and they mentioned that the abbrevations of the last name is not allowed to be entered in the database of IT. Is there any way of making it verified other than changing the Aadhar and EPFO name in the database.? Any input will be much appreciated.
Dear SACHIN ..No, there is no other option.
You may kindly submit your grievance to the EPFO online..click here..
Hi

Dear Sreekanth and all other friends,
I would like to inform that I got my PF money in my Bank Account yesterday. For this I am thankful to Sreekanth for setting up and providing an open platform for us to share our thoughts, our worries , our anxieties and experiences with each other and in process get helpful advise,suggestions and encouragement by all others.
Let me summarize my own experience.
To start with, my ex-employers had made mistake in my name while entering it in my PF account.Over that, my Aadhar was not linked to my UAN Number. To link my Aadhar I had to first apply for name correction as per Aadhar Card.
I made online request on the UAN Portal on 6th December 2017.It was routed through my employer who approved it the next day only.
Then after a long wait, January 22 2018, the name correction as per Aadhar was done and hence my UAN was linked with Aadhar. So from 6th December to 22nd January .around 7 weeks time!!
At same time my employer had approved my Bank Account Number and PAN Card Number also. PAN Card was verified by the ITO online only.
But then when I tried to put withdrawal request, I found that since my employer had not entered my date of exit from the job and PF,so system was not accepting that request.
I contacted my ex employer HR about it. However at that time they were facing some glitch in software at their end so after various unsuccessful attempts they could finally do it by 7th of February.
On 7th February I applied online for withdrawal and on 16th February system status showed,”Claim settled.” And on 20th February the money was in my Bank Account!!
So, if you count from 6th December till 16th of February, a little of over two months. And by just sitting at home and spending a few minutes each time at your computer. Of course, my ex emplyer was also very helpful, they were very prompt in extending all help to me whenever needed.
I find the entire process quite smooth & hassle free. It just requires a little patience.
Just shared my experience with the hope that others may find it helpful!!
Thanks Sreekanth once again!!
And thanks all friends!!
Regards,
Najeeb
Thanks Najeeb, and Sreekanth,
I am in a similar state and am happy for you and your post has given me some hope.
My issue is, I am still working with the current employer, and require my pf money for the apartment I have booked.
My salary Name has my father’s name missing, which is present in Aadhar Card. My employer has approved and I am now waiting for PF department to approve.
I have one question, Since my Aadhar and PAN name is correct and the same, do I need to contact the employer for my PAN verification or will it automatically get linked once my PF name gets updated?
Hope my question is clear, looking forward to your reply.
Dear Lenon,
You need to kindly submit your PAN details in KYC section to your employer’s approval.
hello Nazeeb
Thanks to share you experience
I Just want to know ….what about Pension Contribution
Do it Reflect In your Account
Hi Amol,
Since my employment duration was less than 10 years, so I could withdraw my pension amount also.For pension, you have to put in a separate online request.When you click on withdrawal drop down menu, then you have to choose pension withdrawal option. So I had two separate withdrawal requests for pension & PF. And the amount of pension and PF were transferred into my account in two separate transactions but were done on same day.
Regards,
Najeeb
Hello Nazeeb
Thanks Nazeeb….
But Actually I Put a request for Online Withdrawal on 16th of feb and I got a Message from EPFO on 21st feb that your Online Claim Has Been Approved but It Is not showing in system yet. I didn’t Applied for Pension Withdrawal…Should I apply after PF Settelment or I Can Apply Now….????
Hi Amol.
It takes around 4-5 working days after you get claim notification settlement for the amount to be transferred to your Bank Account.
You can put in withdrawal requests for pension & PF simultaneously on same day.
I had put in my request for PF on 7th February and for my Pension on 8th February. Both claims were settled on same day of 16th February, and money of both was transferred to my Account on 20th February.
Regards,
Najeeb

Dear ganesh ..Kindly re-check if the bank details provided by you (linked to your UAN account) are correct??
Dear Najeeb,
Thank you for sharing your experience and glad to know that you have received the EPF amount.
Thanks Najeeb for sharing your experience. I am in stage of applied name correction of PF account as per adhar, which is approved by employer on 19th feb 2018, now it is showing status as “Pending from Field officer Bommasandra”. what i have to do further in order to get them approved. Do i need to go to Bommansandra office to follow up or any documents needs to be submitted?Kindly guide me.
Hi Mansoor,
There is no need for you to do anything except to just wait patiently. Your file is under process with the concerned officer and they will take their own time to do it. Just keep on checking the online portal every one or two days.In my case it was at Bandra Mumbai Office and they took nearly 7 weeks ( 7th December 2017 till 22nd January 2018) to do it.
Regards,
Najeeb
Thanks Najeeb for your valuable response. 🙂
Here is my experience!
I applied for the name change on 7th December 2017, got approved by employer the next day (Contacted them), got approved by field office in the second week of January 2018, but name change did not reflect so raised a grievance but they told me they changed the name but still the name change did not reflect on online portal. Finally the second grievance raised but still, they told me same and the name change reflect today.
So for changing the name, it took 2 months and almost 12 days that’s 72 days.
I hope this will help.
Thanks for the post writer it really helped. Thanks.
Dear Achal ..Thank you for sharing your experience, appreciate it!
Hi
dear sri kanth
i am peela mohan worked in bangalore one ago.untill now i didnt withdrawl my epfo amount.acutally i have a small doubt that my father name peela.narasingarao but in payslip its peela narsingarao registered.is it causes any problem.pls help me.
thanks and regards.
Dear peela,
You need to check for the consistency of your details across UAN, Aadhaar and PAN card.
Name difference in Payslip (if any) should be fine.
Hi Sreekanth,
First of all, appreciate your guidance to the needy on the queries around the PF.
I have also raised a request on Feb 19, 2018 for the name correction. So as i read in below query clarification i assume it is a time consuming process(Approx 30 to 60 days) at field office level.
Below my UAN i have two PF accounts, one related to my previous organization and other one is my current company.
I have couple queries regarding that. Kindly help by sharing your thoughts to understand better if in case you have an idea on the same.
1. I observed that interest credit got stopped from PF team end after 6 months of discontinuation of contribution to my previous PF account. So in this case is it better to transfer to new PF account. If in case i transfer to the new account, will it hamper my chances of withdrawal as the new PF account is only 2 yrs old.
2. Is that the employee has to be jobless for 2 or 3 months to claim for withdrawal.
Regards,
Bittu Abraham
Dear Bittu,
1 – Interest on EPF accounts whether dormant or active will get the interest payments.
Kindly read : Interest on Inoperative EPF accounts | Will I get interest on my Dormant EPF account?
2 – If you are currently employed and contributing to EPF scheme, you can not withdraw full balance withdrawal either from old EPF account or current EPF ac. Suggest you to transfer the funds from old EPF ac to new one.
Dear Sreekanth,
Thanks for the quick response.
For the point # 2, for transfer case as well, i assume initiation can be done only if aadhar is linked properly?
Also what will happen with the pension fund which is deducted by organization along with PF. Heard some cases from my colleagues, when they transferred the PF from their previous organization, only PF amount got transferred and there was no reference on the pension fund.
Thanks In Advance,
Bittu Abraham
Dear Bittu,
Digital verification of Aadhaar and PAN are mandatory for online transfer/claims.
Else, you can go for offline Transfer claim. Can contact your ex-employer.
When the transfer happens successfully accumulated EPF fund gets transferred and is reflected in the Passbook. Whereas, EPS balance is not reflected in Passbook, however, the service period gets carried forward.
Hi Sreekanth,
I too have same doubt regarding EPS balance, You mentioned that Service period gets carried to new employer but where we can verify that? Under my UAN service history is not updated with my old employer details.
I have done my PF transfers in this way. EMP1-> EMP2-> EMP3->EMP4(Current one). I can see single transfer entry from EMP3
Regards,
Harsha D
Dear HARSHA,
The service details ideally gets listed out under ‘Service history’ section.

after raising the complaint in grievance after howmany days you got the reply
Hi sir ,
I have got the name corrected in the PF member portal but still my PAN details shows as “failed ” under the “member profile” section in the home page . How do I re-verify my PAN details on the PF portal?
Dear Aseera,
Suggest you to submit PAN details again to the employer through KYC section in your UAN account.
Get it approved by them and then you can re-try verifying it.
Kindly read : How to verify PAN online in EPF UAN Member portal?
I tried submitting again on the portal but again it says ” pan verification failed .( Name against UAN does not match with the name in income tax department) ” where as the name in the UAN portal and the name in PAN card is same . It’s been almost a year now I’m facing this problem . Neither the employer or the PF department is helping me.
Dear Aseera,
I am not sure what could be the issue.
Did you try submitting your grievance to the EPFO online..click here..
I figured out what is the problem but I’m not sure wat is the solution for it. The problem is my name in the income tax department is ” Aseera Aleem” but the name in the UAN portal is ” A Aseera” that’s the reason I’m getting name mismatch error. Wen I try to edit my name on the UAN portal it says ” adhaar card is verified details are not editable” . In the income tax the name should b given completely, they do not accept the initials. Now I’m stuck and I’m not sure how to rectify this problem .
Dear Aseera,
You may have to submit offline name correction request, a joint declaration with your employer to the EPFO.
Kindly contact your employer in this regard.
Dear Sir,
I had updated my Aadhaar in “Modify Basic Details” But From 1 Month the mentioned message is shown “Accepted by employer–> Pending at MALAD (KANDIVALI) field office” Can Help what was the Next Step.

I already modify my basic details online but there are no any updation from EPFO Office. So please Help regarding this & I also want to change my father name . so please Do needfull Help

Hello.
My name is Mridul Ranjan, which is correct in my PAN Card & Adhaar Card. But my UAN profile had the name in reverse (Ranjan Mridul).
I requested my employer to fix it, they did. Then the EPFO Office also approved it, and it shows that way in the UAN profile (modify basic details section).
BUT, the changes are actually not done! It still shows the wrong name everywhere on every page in my UAN Profile.
I tried all options, registered grievance online, emailed top executives for EPFO, BUT NO LUCK!
What is my next option? File a legal case? 🙁
Dear Mridul ..You may have to wait for few more days for their sys to reflect the corrected details.
Dear Sreekanth,
It has been 1.5 months!
Hello,
My name finally got corrected once I contacted the back-end technical team. Then I got my PAN verified via Employer. I also updated my mobile number in the UAN profile.
Now, one last question before I go on and submit the claim
The mobile number registered with my Adhaar is different than the mobile number in my UAN profile. Must they be the same? If not, will that create any issue with my claim?
On the same note, when One clicks on the submit button of Claim form online, It says that it will send an OTP. To which number will it send the OTP? The one registered in the UAN profile? Or the one which is registered with my Adhaar enrollment?
Dear Mridul,
I believe that mobile numbers can be different ones.
OTP will be sent to the one which is linked to your UAN account.
No…OTP will be sent to the mobile number registered with aadhar
Dear Amol,
So, is the mobile registered in UAN account used for Login purposes only?
Hi,
I had raised a request to modify my name in UAN which has already been updated in my Adhaar and PAN.
I used the ‘Modify Basic Details’ feature and submitted the request which was approved by my employer.
EPFO rejected the request with the reason ‘Submit Proof’. Since there is no other way to provide a proof on the website other than giving my Adhaar number (which I did), I am not sure where do I have to submit the proof. Please help.
Thanks
Hi Kanika,
try this method. just submit once again your basic details request online, when you submitted your request that time epfo ask you to submit an attested copy of the following documents by post/hand.
education certificate
certificate issued by register (birth)
passport
documents should be submitted to your epfo office and please mention the reference number to your attested copy. documents should reach field office within 15 days.
i hope this info will help you.

Sir,
It has been more than a year since i resigned my job and started a my own business now i am planning to withdraw my PF, my name on my uan account differs from my aadhar and pan, so I managed to change my name under “modify basic details” and now it shows the status “pending at employer”. Kindly let me know if it is still valid for my ex-employer to validate my information.
Thanks in advance
Winston
Hi Winston,
Yes it dosen’t matter when you left your job.Your ex-employer has to approve of the change..Till they do it,your request will not be processed by the PF Office.
Just contact the HR of your ex employer to approve the necessary changes.You can show them the relevant documents as proof.

Najeeb
Respected Sir
Please clarify my doubt in ep account i have my surname” P” as per the 10 th certificate in Aadhar ,”R “now I want to link my Aadhar no with my UAN is there any problem in surname please clarify my doubt.
Thanking you.
Hui Jyothi,
Your name and details have be to exactly like in Aadhar Card.
Even a single letter/alphabet will cause the mismatch in details and the system will show mismatch and will not link UAN with Aadhar.
So better that you request a name correction in PF A/C so that it matches exactly as in Aadhar.

Dear sir,
I have 2 uan .transferred amount to new one. My current employer is not responding for name correction.But previous employer has done and approved. My doubt is as I have transferred amount from old to new after name change in old will it reflect in new.
Dear Saravanan ..I believe that it should reflect.
Sir, My two epf accounts are mapped in my uan. I applied for a name change and whole process was successfully completed but the change was implemented on current epf account not in old epf account which is mapped in same UAN.
Due to difference in name now portal is not allowing me to transfer that amount to current epf account.
Kindly suggest
Dear Vikas ..Kindly try transferring the funds from old epf ac to new one through offline mode. Kindly contact your ex-employer.
Thanks so much for this blog. I followed the steps mentioned to make change in my name as per Aadhar and finally it was pending for approval with BANDRA Mumbai. As mentioned by one of the person in blog I raised grievance to EPFO team and with in a week they approved my request and now it appears correct for me.
Glad to know this!

Dear SYED,
I believe that you can not send the documents to the EPFO directly for name correction.
If online name correction is not possible then you need to submit join-declaration along with your employer, enclose supporting documents and then your employer can send the forms to the concerned EPF office. Suggest you to check about this option with your employer.
May I know, if there is any option to upload the documents online while submitting the name correction request??
Hi Sir,
Can we submit the Joint Declartion form in any of the PF office ?
Thanks
Murali
Dear sayed,
try this method. just submit once again your basic details request online, when you submitted your request that time epfo ask you to submit an attested copy of the following documents by post/hand.
education certificate
certificate issued by register (birth)
passport
documents should be submitted to your epfo office and please mention the reference number to your attested copy. documents should reach field office within 15 days. i hope this info will help you.
Dear pundlik ,
Thank you very much for your support .
I have forwarded my attested xerox copies of SSCL and my Passport with some addition supporting documents to the EPFO through courier .
Could you please tell me how much time it may take for the correction .?
please reply
Thank you
syed jahanghir
Hi Syed,
If its pending from field officer then it will take 2 weeks for approval, its depend upon field officer, if he takes early action on it then it will be done within one week.
Dear Syed,
God some latest information through one my blog readers who has been facing similar issue.
In case the correction required in date of birth is more than one year, then in addition to Aadhaar, other valid documents will have to be submitted (Matriculation certificate, Certificate issued by Registrar (Birth), Passport, etc.). The concerned member will be intimated for submission of additional valid proof of birth in such cases while applying online for PF DOB correction.
Did you notice any message in your UAN interface asking for any documents that need to be submitted? Looks like you may have to send the proofs to the concerned EPF office (where your epf ac is being maintained) within 15 days.
Dear Sreekanth sir ,
I have noticed a message which say that your request have been saved and you have to submit any of the attested copies of the following documents SSCL , Birth certificate , passport .
and should submit by hand or by post with in 15 days .
But the message reflect only when we re enter our correct name , DOB , Aadhar no in the modify option .
Hope this helps our other friends .
Thanks

Hello, My dad retired in Feb 2014 from NTC, a PSE. He receives monthly EPS pension. The NTC has invited request for higher pension from the retired employees, and we also sent the documents to opt for higher contribution to PF and higher pension. We figured out that my dad’s name in his last PF account and Pension Payment Order(PPO) has a minor typographical error and our address is also old one. We want to update our address and correct his name, so that further communication with PF authorities regarding higher pension process is smooth. Can you please guide me, how to update our details with PF and PPO.

Hi All,
Finally today my name got updated in UAN portal.
It took 31 days for the end to end process. from last 15 days it was showing as ” Pending at Mumbai Bandra” field office. today i got a message first to my mobile from epf office as “your name change request Approved”. After getting the message i logged in to UAN portal and saw the changes reflecting on my portal.
My Aadhar got verified automatically. I think they are verifying with UDAI data base while we are requesting for name chnage. finally all tension over.
for those like me who are checking here regularly, please keep on wait. This process is taking 30-45 days to get updated. if the epfo office is in small town, then its getting approved within 30 days.
Thank you so much Srikanth for such a nice blog. Good going Relakhs!!

Thanks,

Hi Snehal,
How many days it took after employer approval for the changed name to reflect on portal?
Hi Snehal,
Congrats for the success on name change!!
Can you please share with us as to how many days it took you for the name change after it was approved by your employer.
Which city is your EPFO located?
Did you just kept on waiting patiently or did you send reminders to EPFO and if yes then to who all?
I have been waiting since December 5th/6th 2017 after my employer approval. But it just keeps on showing pending at field office of Bandra (Mumbai I).
I emailed to customer helpline for help but they wrote back asking me to contact the RO of my concerned EPFO office.
So I then emailed to the RO of Bandra Office, but no response from there also, and status is same as Pending.

Najeeb
Hi Najeeb,

Najeeb
Hi Friends,
At last my name correction is done. Today it is reflecting my correct name on UAN portal. It took five weeks !!
Now I tried to do online KYC for my PAN and Aadhar Card.This time it did not show mismatch error as it used to show earlier.
However it put the KYC status for both PAN and Aadhar card as Pending for Approval from Employer.
Now can any one please tell me as what would be next step after KYC approval from employer? Will it again go to PF office? Or will it just be a final verification?
Regards,
Najeeb Siddiqi
Dear Najeeb,
Once PAN/Aadhaar are approved by your employer, kindly check their ‘verification’ status in home page (after login to UAN account).
If the status next to PAN/Aadhaar is VERIFIED then there should not be any more issues..if the status is ‘UNVERIFIED’, you may have to digitally verify them.
hey Najeeb,
Mine is also pending at Bandra (Mumbai-I) office from last 7 days. 🙁
Hi Rakesh,
Seven days only!! Be patient.
You have a long wait ahead!! 🙂
Regards,
Najeeb
Hi Najeeb,

Dear khaja ..It hardly takes one day to approve it by your employer. So, kindly follow it up with your employer.
Hi Sir,
My Gender is showing wrong on EPFO portal. When I am trying to correct it say the below error:
Aadhaar is already verified. Your details aren’t editable.
Please suggest how I can make correction.
Thanks .. Kumar
Dear Kumar ..Are the details in Aadhaar correct?
Hi Sir,
I’m facing a problem with My details in UAN portal. My Aadhaar has already been verified in the portal and my pan is not verified in the portal because My Name as per Aadhaar & PAN is S Sharath Kumar whereas in UAN portal it is S.Sharath Kumar. I’m facing problem with “.” in between my Initial and first name. Is there any procedure to get my name corrected even after my Aadhaar has been verified?
Hi,
Im facing similar issue here because of name initial. By the way how can i add my initial in PAN CARD, I have tried correcting but to no avail, as of now my name in my pan card is without initial and is already linked to my aadhar.
Hi,
I have applied my final pf withdrawal on 13th January through online. How long will it take to credit in my account?
Dear Amala ..can take 10 days for claim settlement to happen..
Hi,
Need your inputs.
I need to update my name in UAN portal but however i get the below error when trying to edit details online. As i can’t make the change from my end now, can you please suggest how can i update my name ? I have reached out to my employer too but however they suggested to get it corrected online itself 🙁
“Aadhaar is already verified. Your details aren’t editable.”
Thanks
Dear Pradeep,
If you have already verified your Aadhaar number in member portal (i.e., your personal data in Aadhaar matches against UAN data) then you can not edit/update Name, DoB & Gender details. In case, you try to edit your personal details, you will receive a message as ‘Aadhaar is already verified, your details are not editable.’
What should we do in case we need to get it the details changed even after Aadhaar has been verified.
Dear Sharath,
If you get it corrected through offline mode (through your employer), this can lead to mis-match of name with Aadhaar and you may not be able to withdraw funds online.
Sir,
My updated request of correction is showing on uan portal, but still my previous employee passbook showing wrong name and current employee passbook showing PDF is not available.how much time take to update Passbook after change request done on portal
Passbook name wont matter much.Are u able to use Online facility of PF withdrawl? If yes then passbook name doesnt matter let them take their time.
Also please let us know how much time after employer approval it took for your name change request to be accepted.
Sir,
I’m not able to change online withdrawal bcz it’s showing Online claim request cannot be processed as :-
Present employer has not made payment in your PF account.
I have see previous employer passbook with wrong name but not see current employer passbook(it’s totally blank)
How can I check my distribution Miss call service of uan also not working..
Dear Vishal,
I am not sure on the time-line.
You may submit grievance online..click here..
Greetings sir,

Hi All,
This morning I logged in using the link https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/ to make correction in my UAN name so that it is in sync with the Aadhar name. Navigation followed after logging in was Manage–>Modify Basic Details. It allowed me to make change and said request was submitted but i’m not able to find any pending request. When I try to submit the request again it doesn’t give me the required page. Can someone let me know if they faced similar situation and what is the resolution for this issue?

Hi Friends, I just checked the site and it is now showing the Pending Request again. Anyway for me status remains the same!!
Only difference is that earlier the status it was showing was as “Pending at Field Office”. Now its is giving address of Field Office also and showing,”Pending at Bandra (Mumbai- I Field Office).
It is pending there since December 5th 2017 after approval from my Employer.
Today I sent an email also to the [email protected]
Hoping against hope to get some response from them.
Regards,
Najeeb Siddiqi
My name correction request also vanishes at times but comes back when I open portal in 2-3 days. I generated the request for name correction 3 months back and after approval from establishment(my company), Field office , a request has been generated to update it. I am not able to see the change but hopefully will do as the status say “Accepted by DELHI (NORTH) field office
Remark – K”
How many days it took after employer accepted your request to make the changes?
It took almost 2 months to see the status ” Accepted by DELHI (NORTH) field office
Remark – K” and now I see a new status that a request by field office has been generated for name change implementation.
I saw the status from day 1 as follows
Name Change Request – Day 1
Accepted by Employer – Day 15
Pending at filed office – Day 15
Pending at DELHI (NORTH) field office – Day 60
Accepted by DELHI (NORTH) field office – Day 90
Remark – K
Request by Field office for implementation of name – Day 90
However the name hasn’t been changed yet but I got the approval from everywhere so the process works but very slow. i will update once I see the change in name in UAN portal.
to be corrected above , It is 3 months instead of 2 months.
Ok..In my case:-
Day 3:- Approved by employer
Day 3:- Pending from field office
Day 18:- Pending from Malad kandivali office.
So i think from hereon it will take 5 days more for approval
I have similar issue. Is your name corrected on UAN portal?
Hello,
I think nibody has been able to access the name change request since todays morning and it might be a technical issue, even i am havibg the same issue.
Our government is too slow..i have applied to change my name through paper as well back on 4 aug 2017 and still my name has not been changes so after i applied online but now i juat lost tgat request. RIP Government

RAJESH MISHRA
Hi Friends,
Same case here. I had applied for name change in UAN as per my Adhaar card.That was on 5th December 2017. Uptill now it was showing status as pending with field office. Now today I fine that everything has disappeared, it is just clean slate!! I cannot even make a fresh request for name change.
Can anybody please tell me what could be the reason? Have they refreshed their website for 2018 thereby clearing away all pending jobs and backlog?
Any email address where can I lodge complaint for this and hope to get some response?
Dont know , They dont even care sending any notification before doing this.Also they dont even answer on any calls or email id. This government officials kabhi nahi sudhrengay..
Same with me too.Till yesterday it was pending at PF office side and today it is mentioned as no “pending request” in the portal.What does it mean.Has it been accepted or rejected.how do we come to know.
i was getting same thing in morning.. data were removed.. but i just checked that the request has been accepted.. and change is reflecting in my portal…
Hi Snehal, Yours is which PF office? and how many days it took after employer approval?
Bangalore— employer approved in 1 day
Same here, today morning it was showing my request as Pending at field office. But now pending requests section is blank. 🙁 . I cant even make a fresh request for name change.
Dear Friends,
This can be a temporary tech issue. Kindly try after sometime..
Else, suggest you to submit your grievance online..click here..
Hi Sir,
Same with me too.Till yesterday it was pending at PF office side and today it is mentioned as no “pending request” in the portal.What does it mean.Has it been accepted or rejected.how do we come to know.
please advise me.
Its neither accepted nor rejected..becos all applications cannot be accapted and rejected same day.I think it may be a technical glitch as said by Shreekanth sir
May be it is coincidence.. mine was pending before this issue and now approved and i can see the updated data…
Hi snehal,
How much time it took for approval?
i have requested on 6th Dec 2017. took 5 weeks
OHH..IS the change reflecting on UAN PORTAL?
And 5 weeks after employer approval?
yes.. employer has approved it on very next day.. that means on 7.. took 5 weeks for region office to approve … and it’s reflecting on portal now…
however if i download passbook from epfindia.. it still has old name,,.. not sure if this is going to be seeded there…
Yes same here, but i guess it’s technical issue.
lets try tomorrow and see what it’s really is.
Yes …If any one of you know the reason ..then please dont forget to share here to let others know also.Also does any one know how much time it takes for Name updation ?
Dear Rajesh,
Based on the information shared by other blog readers, looks like, the EPFO is taking around 10 to 20 days to resolve name correction requests.
Takes around 30 days, Because first it goes to your employer for approval they may take 3-4 days, once its approve from employer it goes to Field office, it takes around 15 days to get approve from there if your constantly highlight and register grief.
After that it goes to your related EPF Office for approval it takes 10 -15 days there too.
if you keep calling and highlight grief it might get approved within 5-7 days.
So it roughly takes 30 days but it can be done within 15 days, as all it require is everyone’s approval in time, which sadly is rare event.
Hi sandeep mine it was showing pending from field office for 1 week and yesterday it shown pending from Kandivali malad office …so i should assume that mine is in final stage?
Yes Malad office is where your company is registered.
it is indeed in final stage.
How long it took to show pending with Malad office ?
It was approved by employer on 26th December…and yesterday its status was changed from pending from field office to Malad office.
So i think there are 3 approval stages:-
1) Pending from employer
2)pending from field office
3)pending from malad kandivali pf office.
My request was showing pending from Whitefield office till yesterday now it has dissappeared. Any idea after how long does the changes get reflected ?
@sheldon:- Before shwoing pending from whitefield office ..did it was showing pending from field office as status?

My PF transfer status shows: accepted by employer; how long should it take to get the balance transferred from now?
Secondly, what happens to the pension contribution amount? Does that get transferred or I need to follow some other steps?
Dear Aditya,
It generally takes 7 to 15 days.
You can keep a track of your transfer claim status.
EPS balance wont gets reflected in your Passbook, but the service period gets carried forward.
Hi,
I have updated my name on EPFO portal and it is updated successfuly but that is not reflected on my passbook which For my PF account after how much time it will reflect on passbook or there is difference procedure for that.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Harsh,
The same issue has been reported by few other blog readers as well.
Looks like, it takes few days for the updated data to get reflected..
Hi Harsh,
How many days does it take to reflect changed name in Uan portal fater Field office approves request ?
Hi Sreekanth,
I have applied name correction online. This has been approved by the employer but pending from the field office (Delhi South – Dwarka office) from the last 25-30 days. How many more days they might take? or what should be the next step if I don’t get any reply or status change in the next 15-20 days.
Dear Deepak..Suggest you to kindly submit your grievance online to the EPFO..click here…
Sir,
I applied for name correction in UAN on 28-DEC-2018 and now the status is Accepted by field office -OK. but changes not reflected in portal.

Pls help me on what to do further.

Dear Vasanthi ..It can take few days to get the data reflected..
Hi,
I have the same issue. Status Is accepted by field office. But name correction is not reflected yet.
Did your name get corrected?
If yes how did it happend?
Same here.
Dear Srikanth,
Does PF withdrawal checks the father name as well along with the UAN member details?
Because my father name present in the UAN (First Name + Surname) is different from the Aadhaar (First Name) and from the PAN card (Surname + First Name). In case if PF withdrawal considers father name could you please help me in knowing the best way to change the father name to same format on UAN, Aadhaar and PAN card. Thank you.
Dear Harikrishna,
I am not sure about the withdrawal claims, but few readers have informed me that while transferring EPF online from one A/c to another ac, there have been issues with the mismatch.
If you would like to get Father’s name corrected then you need to submit a joint declaration form along with your employer, submit it to them and then they can forward the same to the EPFO. As of now, this is an offline process.
I updated my aadhar details 2 weeks before through modify basic details in Epf portal and my employer approved and now it’s in field office pending status.When it will approved.
Employer is not agree to signing the name correction form. Please advise.
Hi
My father’s name is incorrect on the UAN portal which is why I do not see my previous employer’s PF details in the portal. Although both my previous & current employer are attached to the same UAN but still I am unable to raise a transfer request due to incorrect father’s name.
I have submitted the Joint declaration form to my current employer for the correction but they have mentioned that it will take 3-4 months.
Is there a way to expedite this process or will it really take this long time?
I am in urgent need to withdraw my PF for buying a house so need an advise.
Appreciate all the relevant replies.
Dear Swati,
I dont think it will take that long!
But in my exp, it can surely take min 30 days or so.
Thanks Sreekanth.
But that depends on the time frame when the employer sends the document to regional PF office, Right ?
Also, once that is done how long does it takes to transfer the PF account of previous employer into current employer.
I just need to make an estimate of the the time as to when will I be able to withdraw my amount.
Dear Swati,
You are correct, so need to follow it up with your employer!
Online transfers can happen pretty quickly – say within a week or two.
I have 3 UANs for my 3 PF accounts.
The first one was issued by employer A, my employment began in Apr 2007 and I left the job in August 2013. I joined my next job after a break of 8-9 months in June 2014 and left this one in Feb 2015. Then again i had to take a break and so i joined my third job in August 2016 and am continuing with until now. Now every time i changed my job, i did not apply for withdrawal of any balances from any of the previous to PF accounts. Both the first two jobs have been given a separate UANs. With my current employer, i have now a third UAN.
Now each of the three accounts have PF balances and I want to merge these into one. Is it possible to merge UANs? If yes, please advise how to. Also how is this linking going to ensure continuity of service for pension benefits given that i have had gaps in my career at two times? Many many thanks in advance for any suggestions or ideas.
Dear ESSP,
Yes, it is possible. You need to transfer funds from EPF 1 & EPF 2 accounts to current EPF 3 account.
This is will ensure the old UANs 1&2 will be blocked.

Allotted multiple UANs?
Sh I submit name correction detail by modify besic details one month ago but showing the present status is “accepted by field office -ok”last 28 days, showing this my addhar is also veryfied.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018. APNADER SUKH SHANTI R SAMRIDDHI KAMONA KORCHI. WHAT IS THE MAIN DEFFERENCE BETWEEN EXEMPTED AND UN-EXEMPTED MATTER IN EPFO? AND WHERE WAS CHANGE OPTION OF FATHER & ADDRESS OF AN EMPLOYEE IN EPFO PORTAL? AND ALSO WHERE WAS FAMILY MEMBER DETAILS & NOMINEE DETAILS OF AN EMPLOYEE IN EPF PORTAL ? ASHA KORI JANABEN IN FEW SECONDS.
Dear AMANUL,
The details such as Address/Father name correction can be updated through an employer only (as of now).
Exempted establishment means the establishment which is permitted to form its own Provident Fund Trust for benefits of employees. The employer executes the Trust Deed, prepares the Provident Fund Rules and nominates the trustees amongst its employees for administering and managing the Trust.
Unexempted Establishment are those establishments to whom the Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 is applicable.
My status is showing “Accepted by field office -K” today after a month wait. But if i go to Profile or any other place the name is showing as old. When will it reflect here ?

Same with me, it’s been more then 5 days since the status changed to “Accepted by field office -K” but my name change has not actually happened. Is this normal? My PF office is in HYDERABAD/Telangana. Any reply is much appreciated.

Hello,
When I am going to update the my name in Modify Basic detail because my name is wrong in UAN Account. It does not allow me to update the request with error “The details provided by you are not matching with your adhar details.” Actually name is wrong in UAN account and I want to updated it with Aadhar Name. But unable to change the name as I am unable to put request.
Do you have any idea, then please suggest. Thanks in advance.
go to manage->modify name and change as per aadhar. Then check with your HR, once they approved, it will show waiting for field engineer. Once he approve your name is made as aadhar.
Dear Hardik .. The name you are keying in, is it matching with your name as in Aadhaar?
Also, If you have already verified your Aadhaar number in member portal (i.e., your personal data in Aadhaar matches against UAN data) then you can not edit/update Name, DoB & Gender details. In case, you try to edit your personal details, you will receive a message as ‘Aadhaar is already verified, your details are not editable.’
My name correction request is accepted by field office but still i can see name is not updated in my uan online portal. Please let me know how much time it takes to get it reflected in uan portal?
Hi
It took around 22 days for mine.
Thanks,
Rohit

I would like to suggest all of You to Raise an Complaint on EPF Grievance Portal, If your Name Change Request is still Pending at Field Office. I raised an Complaint at 2:00 pm on Today and after that in Only 3 Hours, My Name Change Request is Approved by Field Office. I don’t Know it’s an Co-Incidence or it’s an Effect of Raising an Complaint on EPF Grievance Portal. But it Happened in Just 3 Hours after Raising an Complaint on Grievance Portal of EPF. I think You should Try It.
Website Link for to Raise an Complaint on EPF Grievance Portal : http://epfigms.gov.in/

Hello Friends,

Lots of Thanks to Relakhs, Mr. Shrikanth Reddy Sir and All Authors of Relakhs. Thank You Very Much.
Guys! I have got my name changed yesterday through this ‘modify details’ process. Looks like field approval is done within 30 days at least. I once logged my grievance in about the frustrating long wait..online, thats probably why they did it fast, no idea not sure. Whatever. Thats all i did and i just waited. Now all burdens gone.
Thank you for sharing status-update!
I have applied for form 10 c online, but it’s rejected, what is the reason of rejection?
Even I have the same issue. Gender details where missing and i updated from Basic details. Now the status is as Approved by employer and Pending at field office. Its been 10 days. I dont know when it is going to update
I was being informed that there is a mismatch in my name on the aadhaar card. I have done the rectification online. The status is showing as Pending at field office.
Request you to please let me know when the process will be completed .
Field office approved my name update after 3 weeks..Now after this name correction, it displays Aadhaar as ‘Verified ( DEMO )’ in the home page.. But in the Manage->KYC page, it still displays Aadhaar as ‘Unverified’ in the Online Verification Status column
Dear Shiva..It may take for some time for the update to get reflected in KYC section.
Dear ramkrishna ..Based on the inputs from few blog readers, looks like the EPFO is taking around 20 days to approve name correction online requests and update the same.
Hi, everyone for changing basic details I did the online procedure and it will get approved by employer in 2 days after that it showing pending at field office…so I would like to know how much time it will take to approve at field office….
Ref no=KDMAL02105800000013973_415452
even i am checking for the same bro. My employer has accepted the name change. Its been 7 days still its showing as pending at field office.
Everyone! Finally my name change got approved after 20 days of my employer’s approval through the EPFO portal.
You can also expect the same soon.
Dear Romesh.. Thank you for sharing the status update, will be useful to all of us!
bro its 22nd day from the employer approved but still pending at field office. employer has approved it on 30 November 2017
Mr. Romesh
Which is Your PF Office ?
Does Time Line to Get approval of Name Change from Field Office Depends on The Where is Field Office is Located ? My Status is also Showing Pending at Field Office from Last 25 Days.
Thanks for sharing update with us..
I have given a joint declaration with my employer regarding name change and DOB & got acknowledgement too. They said, it will take 30 days for updation. But still, it is not updated online. Can I know how many days will it take to get updated in my system.
Right guys, may be better to tweet epfo regarding this “pending at field office” to let them know. Or I think we have to get them notice by logging complaints this issue is starting to make things complicated than the offline way as it is supposed to be quicker online. They sometimes seem to ignore our requests. Some guys working in the Epfo grievances dept dont even know the changes updated on their own website, thats one thing ridiculous. Talk to Shri N Modi please coz there is something wrong and I feel like some incorrect details are made intentionally by the epfo ignorant workers and many are made while settig up account and incorrect DOB regularly occurs at EPFO during registration. What do u think why all this?
Its been more than 60 days for me, Status is still shown as “Accepted by employer–> Pending at field office” not sure what to do now.
Amith, we are not even 60 days away from the facility launch day. May be there is a lot of us pending right now, or there has probably been a delay from UIDAI centre regarding verification due to recently happening massive adhaar-bank linking & mobile linking and lets believe our time is on the way.
pending field approval for the last 20 days
Shashikant: I am facing the same issue, its been over 10 days now since my employer has approved the name change. Every day morning I check the status and its the same “accepted by Employer, pending at field office” I am hoping that someone in the field office gets some time and approves the request….
How I will correct my name…online is not working…will it be possible in mobile or have to go somewhere…plj reply it’s urgent for me…plj..
Dear MANORANJAN ..What is the error message that you are receiving?
I have been informed that the online facility is working and the name correction requests are being processed within 20 days by the EPFO.

Hi ,
Yes i also belive that the entries are wrongly entered with a intention of making innocent people to revolve around there offices and keep there jobs run for much more longer time and also to grab money as bribe .
if every thing is entered correctly , there will be only small work at epfo offices .
No more officers require to re enter the correct details in EPF accounts .
I think it works with a team plan in epfo offices ..
Modify Basic Details stuck with status “Accepted by employer–> Pending at field office”. Do we know if any timelines to close this is set by Feild Office and update UAN.

Hello Sree,
I had submitted the online DOB correction on Dec 7th 2017, but it has not been updated yet. It shows as “Accepted by employer–> Pending at field office “. And if I call the helpdesk number 1800 11 8005, either it is busy or no one picks up the call. Is there any other way to contact the UAN/EPFO team.
Regards,
I have applied for my surname correction. Where on my UAN there is an additional incorrect surname added to it. My name is Vimla Diwaker and on UAN its updated as Vimla Diwaker Agrawath. Both my PAN Card and Aadhar card has the correct name and surname as “Vimla Diwaker”. I have applied through offline first employer where they advised me to apply through online and I did the same. I am little nervous whether the epf team will approve my name correction as it is already approved by employer.

My new company generated new UAN. How can i merge both UAN?
Dear Hirendra,
‘Transfer claim amount’ not showing up in passbook can be a technical issue.
If the transfer has successfully happened from EPF 1 (linked to UAN1) to EPF 2 (UAN 2) then your old UAN-1 would have already been blocked automatically by the EPFO.
Hi Sreekanth,
1) Transfer claim amount both linked to UAN 1. Amount transferred from EPF 1 to EPF 2 but amount not showing in passbook.
2) UAN 2 & EPF3 is generated by my new company.
Should i try to transfer amount EPF 2 to EPF 3 or should I wait for the passbook update of EPF2 ?
Dear Hirendra,
I am confused with your query. You may kindly post your query in detail.
Hi,
In 2016 i have one UAN1 and two EPF added in UAN 1 as EPF1 and EPF2. I have transferred my amount from EPF1 to EPF2. That time i got the confirmation that amount was successfully transferred. But amount was not updated in passbook. At present amount was not updated in passbook.
After some time i have changed company and my new employer create new UAN let say UAN2.
Dear Hirendra,
Was the EPF -1 maintained by a Pvt Trust?
Suggest you to transfer the EPF-2 balance to current one and your old UAN-1 will get blocked automatically.
You can also submit RTI application to know the exact accumulated balance in EPF-2.
RTI option is available in EPFO website under ‘Miscellaneous’ menu tab.
I have transferred my amount to from one epf account to another. Status is showing successfully transferred but not reflecting in passbook. What should i do?
Then i contact to customer care, they told me to wait for some time. Now its one year complete but my amount not showing. After that i have registered the grievance for the same. Then i got the reply that amount has been successfully transferred. But not showing in passbook.
hi Sreekanth ,
I have added the request for change name as specified and it has been approved by Employers as well.
But its showing that its pending from field.
So can you please assist me for the same
Dear Akash ..You may have to wait till the EPFO staff approves your name correction request. As of now, there is no time-line given by the EPFO.

Dear Yogesh,
Time-line for name correction procedure is not known.
For online claims – they can be settled within 10 days.
Dear Sir,
I have submitted last week cancelled cheque leaf without name printed. With withdrawal documents.After going through forum I came to that bank pass book copy is must in this case.Is it so?…Can I submit my pass book copy now to epfo office directly.As it’s not possible to get my employer help again for this.As they don’t have digital signature to approve and also closed down their operations.Only offline is possible which they did already..
Guide me pls.
Dear Bala,
If cheque leaf does not have your name imprinted, mostly the EPFO may reject your claim.
Posting only cheque leaf to them, I am not sure if they will accept it and process your claim.
If possible, suggest you to post new Composite Claim form to EPFO directly (to the epf office where your account is being maintained), if Aadhaar is linked to your account.
Kindly read : New EPF CCF forms..
Hi Sreekanth,
I have updated my details using the online portal (like phone number). However the same is not reflected in the UMANG app. They are still sending the OTP to old mobile number.
How can I change the mobile number linked to EPFO through the app? Or by when the changes done on the online portal (desktop application) will be reflected on the app?
Dear Eeshita ..Looks like it takes some time to get the updates reflected across the EPFO systems. Suggest you to wait fore few days and then try this again.
Hi Srikanth,
I have one common question over here for UAN.. In MY Aadhar only my name i.e Surname + my name is there, however in UAN my complete name i.e surname +my name + father name is there as per my all certificate and PAN.
now i am clicking to verify the detail fro Aadhar then it is denied showing not matching with Aadhar.
Do you have any solution for that.
If i will change/modify basic detail then i my entire detail in UAN will change??
Kindly comment
UAN is having your surname +my name + father name as per all your cert and PAN. So please note that Aadhar IS THE ONE IN ISSUE HERE. Best solution is to edit your name in aadhar rather than trying at UAN end.
UAN has mapped your details like name, date of birth and gender based on Employer furnished details.
UAN process is complicated and has lot of dependency.
BEST is to change your aadhar as per PAN and all certificates.
Dear Mihir,
Suggest you to update/correct your name against UAN as per your Aadhaar card.
Hi Sreekanth,
shall i change the name in UAN under modify basic detail if yes, then what happend when they will refer my PAN in that case.
Please comment
Dear Mihir,
I am suggesting to maintain same name in UAN card Vs Aadhaar/PAN.
I had submitted the Name & DOB correction on Dec 4th 2017 in epf office , but it has not been updated yet. “. And if I call the helpdesk number 1800 11 8005, either it is busy or no one picks up the call. Is there any other way to contact the UAN/EPFO team.

Dear sir/madam
I have pf withdrawal paper submitted i got only interest payment credit in my a/c what about my other payment already 4 day pass my uan no is 100626988730 dob is 18/10/1983
Dear Imran,
Did you apply for full settlement or partial withdrawal?
Dear Sreekanth,
I submitted my partial pf withdrawal papers via employer using COMPOSITE CLAIM FORM (NON-AADHAR), however there is mismatch in my EPFO and aadhar name, does it impact my pf withdrawal request and if not how much time does it take to credit the amount in my account.
Does Partial PF withdrawal amount is only interest amount or all means will be extracted from all the shares (i.e. like Employee share, Employer share and Pension Contribution) ?
Dear Samiullah,
As this is non-Aadhaar based claim, it should be ok!
Generally offline claims are settled within 30 days.
Kindly read : EPF partial withdrawal rules & options..
Thanks Sreekanth for your quick response.
You are doing great work. 🙂
Hi,
I was very happy seeing the New Process for correction in Name , DOB & Gender as per aadhaar “online”. I must say very good initiate from the EPF dept. & GOI.
My Name was incorrect in the EPF data and tried changing with the new process. However, its not working and every time I’m getting the same error as “Aadhaar verification service is not working now. Please try after some time” I have been trying this from last 5 days and same thing is coming.
Can we do something about it? I tried given toll free no. no body is responding.
Dear Nilesh,
This can be a temporary technical issue..as the online facility (name correction) is pretty new, may be some teething problem..
Dear Nilesh, Even I was experiencing same issue. However since Sunday evening, this service is working fine again. I updated mine. Pls. try.
My employer has approved the request and am waiting for EPFO Field office to make corrections. Not sure of the Turnaround time. Hope it happens fast!
Hi Subramanya!
My bad as I didn’t try on Sunday. Post Sunday i’m keep on trying and receiving the same error. 🙁

For father name correction, as of now, the employee has to make a joint request with employer to the EPFO offline.
Still Pending at Field Office, waiting….. waiting and more Waiting.
still not approved its approx. 20 days.
My father name mismatches in UAN and PAN
in UAN it N Gopal
in PAN it is Narayan Gopal
Whether it effects while withdrawing PF through online
Dear Shruthi,
As of now, it may not.
But, suggest you to get your father’s name corrected in your EPF UAN, by submitting a joint-declaration request through your employer to the EPFO.
Dear Ram.. Once the name gets updated, do kindly share the total time-taken by the EPFO here..can be useful to all of us! Thank you!

hi Sreekanth, what about spelling errors in fathers name?? Can they be corrected online as well?? Kindly respond. Thanks.
Dear Shakti,
As of now, EPF member’s father’s name correction can not be done through UAN member portal. Guess, one needs to get this done through employer route only.
Thanks Shreekanth,
