      Kindly check your PAN name format by visiting Income Tax E-Filing portal.

      PAN display name can have short initials but in PAN database the expanded initials are saved (should be provided).

  • 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.

  • Hi sir,
    i already submit the pan, bu it shows the not verify by ITD.How can i verify pan in online

    • Dear Harish,
      The name format (First name, surname and middle name) between PAN and UAN may not be matching. Kindly re-check this by visiting IT dept e-Filing portal.

      • sir,
        pan details and UAN details are same, but it shows the pan details is against UAN

  • Hi sir, I have submitted for name correction and now the status is pending from employer. So i need to contact my employer (Company) to approve the same or they will do automatically.

  • 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,
    can you please guide me through this problem.

    My name in PAN, UAN & Aadhaar are same ( last name frist name)
    but in income tax it is as first name and last name

    My aadhaar is already verified. Whem I try to verify PAN it says ” NAme against UAn doesnot match with NAme in Income Tax Department”.

    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
    Chaitanya Vissa

    • Dear Chaitanya,
      There is no defined time-line as such. The updated date may get reflected in EPFO database within 15 to 60 days.
      Suggest you to kindly submit a grievance request to the EPFO via this link to speed up the processs..

  • Dear Sir,
    I forgot my EPF password and mobile number has been changed and my EPF name is incorrect and KYC not done yet please suggest me what I am do now.

  • Hello,

    I am currently in united states and trying to withdraw money from my PF account, though i have my UAN and password but when i try to login to the portal it says those details are incorrect. so I tried to re-set the password, for that it either send an OTP to a mobile number which is not in use or asks me details like DoB, Name, Gender and when I provide the details I get the error, ‘These details are not available in the system’ and so I am still unable to get into my UAN portal.
    I have written emails to helpdesk but i am not getting any response.

    Thanks

  • I have apply for epfo advance then it was showing OTP verified but the data available against the UAN in system is not matching with he data available with UIDAI(AADHAAR). What shall i do please help me.

    • Dear MARAK,

  • 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 sreekanth,

    Good morning and Have a nice day,

    i was recently changed my job from one company another company. My PF Share and EMployer PF share was transferred to present company but EPS share wasn’t transferred. Please help on this.What we have to do?

    Thnaks & Regards
    kamesh

  • 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.

Few days back I sent an online request to EPFO and then it was firstly approved by my old establishment and later submitted to EPFO. Today I see that EPFO has Rejected the request stating that

    Reason : Pls submit physical copies of joint declaration and identy proof such as educational certificate for kyc updation.

    Also my profile is digitally KYC Approved with PASSPORT with name MyName HubbySurname.

    Please suggest.

    • Dear Padmashri,
      You may kindly submit the joint declaration form enclosing the requested documents to your employer and they in-turn can forward the form to the concerned EPF regional office..

      • Hello Sreekanth,

        But the EPFO portal was already approved by the employer. Then whats the purpose of online facility if they still want hard copies to be submitted.

  • Hello Sreekanth,

I have allready changed my name in UAN data..so plz sir suggest sollution bywhich i claime for pf.

    • Dear NILESH,
      Ideally, EPFO should allow these kind of minor discrepancies.
      Unfortunately, the name format across EPF UAN, PAN & Aadhaar have to match.

      You may submit an offline claim (if required).

      • HI Sreekanth,

        Thanks a lot .

        I am also facing same issue as mentioned above.If i submit offline form direct in PF office will they consider it?

        • Dear Judeesh,

  • Sir I have varartion of 1 year on adahar card and my company dob can I link my adahar plz tell me

    • Dear Owais,
      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.

  • One month before, I have sent request to change my name but still its not processed why?

  • Dear Sreekanth

But the Company where I was working is closed and I am not able to contact any of the Employer now. Please advise how I can get my PF money.

  • HI Sreekanth.
    I was NRI June from 2013 to Jun 2018. I am back in india and when I was trying to activate mu UAN it says no matching found for this member. I assume my phone number might have changed. I tried calling helpdesk but that never connects. Please suggest

  • I have requested to change my gender in EPFO site as it was wrong and i could not link my aadhar, these idiots have changed the gender but have not changed the prefix thus still remaining as Mrs. intead of Mr. and hence i am unable to verify my PAN now. I dont understand what do i do now and how foolish these people are.

  • 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?

      • 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,

    What is the format of Full name in UAN details?

    I have “FN LN” combination in Adhaar and Pan acuurately.
    However in UAN it is showing in “Mr LN FN” format.

    FN-> First name
    LN- Last name

    Are they same? Or do I have to get it corrected?

  • hi sreekanth, Normally my name is correct as same as educational documents.

  • 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 adityakhp@gmail.com.

  • I am getting Error as ‘Pan verification failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)’. so now how many days it will take for change the surname and first name and middle name.?

    • Dear Jagannadha,
      If you have to get your name updated/corrected in UAN then you have to submit a joint declaration form to the EPFO through your employer (in case, your Aadhaar has already been verified, online submission is not possible).
      This may take around 30 to 60 days.

  • Hi sreekanth Reddy,

    My name is N jagannadha Reddy, I am getting issue in UAN portal like “Aadhaar is already verified, your details are not editable.” so after that what i need to do, please advise how to update the PAN number in UAN portal.

        • 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.

  • HOW WILL THE MODIFY REQUEST TAKE, WHEN WILL THE EMPLOYER BE NOTIFED TO APPORVE THE ADHAR INFO. THE RIGHT EMPLOYER NAME ALSO IS NOT SHOWING ON THAT REQUEST AS I ALREAYD LEFT THAT ORGANIZATION AND MY PF HAS BEEN WITHDRWAN FROM THERE

  • 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.

  • 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,

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.

  • Hello sir .

    Ranjith here,

    my name is being mismatched on UAN but when a place a request for modify basic details previous employer has not responding now what suppose to be done? how i can carry that amount to new company

  • 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.”

  • 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

      • 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.

        Bala

        • 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. ?

    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

      • 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.
        Hope there wont be any issues.

        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,

When I told them to approve the same in online portal, they replied that they don’t have any login/password. Further, I have also sent joint declaration form along with all required document more than 5 times in last 2 years. No action taken from my employers end. I talked/mailed to them many times but they ignored every time. I have proof of all my activities pertaining to this mountain mission. Now, I am tired from these activities. What to do..?

        Now, please suggest what to do. ?

  • 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.

  • Hi, what can I do to get the field office to approve my basic details change – name and link the adhaar to it??

  • Hi,

    I’ve followed the latest Procedure to update my AADHAAR with my UAN, its approve dby employer around 3 months back but it is still pending for approval from EPFO Office South Delhi.
    I see no hope how to get it done ???

    Can you please suggest ?

    Thanks
    Ashish

    • Dear Ashish,
      Yes, EPFO has been taking around 1 to 2 months to process name correction requests.
      But, 3 months? this is really long.
      Suggest you to kindly post your grievance to the epfo online..click here..
      There have been many instances where epfo took action on the pending requests after receiving grievances online.

  • 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.

  • Hi Guys.
    My Aadhar has been linked with my UAN and i cannot edit my basic details now.
    My gender still shows as Female and my name starts with Ms. instead of Mr.
    How do i get it changed now?

  • Dear friends, My Aadhar is linked to UAN.

    My PAN is unverified due to mismatch of details. How do I rectify the same. I have worked for two employers and currently doing my business. Have 2 pf account under one UAN. which employer should I approach? URGENT

  • 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.

  • 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

      • 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.

  • Hi
    Due to an error at company’s part incorrect aadhar number was updated on EPFO portal and the same was not verified till now and pan details also not verified due to incorrect aadhar number. Now, i want to withdraw my money as i left the organisation but it is not allowing to file online claim as aadhar number is not matching as well as pan no is not matching with my uan data.

    Employer tried to update kyc details of mine but it shows error that Line no. 1 Invalid number of fields. Please provide resolution. A request letter was also sent to EPFO for correcting details but ever after 1 month no result.

  • 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.

    • 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

    • hi My self ganesh i have applied for PF withdrawl on 6th of feb’2018 on 9th feb showing the status as claim settled on 9th feb via neft but till now amount has not credited in to my bank account i received a message on 9th that amount will be credited to account in 3 working days till now i didnot received the amount i have raised the complaint in epf grievence till now i have not received any reply for the same. what is that now i need to do now as my pf office is located in thane i stay in hyderabd should i need to go

    • 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

  • 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.

      • 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.

    • 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 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,

  • 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?

      • 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.

          • 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

    • Dear Kailash ..Father name can not be corrected online I believe.
      You need to submit joint-declaration form along with your employer to the EPFO. Kindly contact your employer regarding this!

  • 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? 🙁

        • 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?

  • 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.

    • Hi Mariraj,

  • 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.
      Regards,

  • 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.

    I do not have any certificate like Matriculation, Passport, Birth certificate etc. i have only adhaar card, pan card and election voter card (all these three documents have same d.o.b. but differ from uan). How it will be changed in Uan.
    can i change by submitting an affidavit ??

  • 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.

  • 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 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??

      • 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.

          • 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

    Pls Accepted

  • 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.

    • Dear aky,
      Your father can submit name correction request through his employer to the EPFO.
      In case, he has online login to UAN account, you may try submitting name correction request and update address online.

  • Dear sh
    I have requested name correction through modify basic details status is accepted by delhi south – ok my name is member passbook show correct name HARISH CHANDRA SINGH but uan portal show old name HARISH SINGH sh help me haw show correct name HARISH CHANDRA SINGH on my uan profile

    • 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!!

      Regards,
      Rakesh

    • Dear Arun,
      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.

      • HOW MANY TIMES CHANGE IN EPF FATHER NAME PF OFFICER SAYS TO CHANGE IN 1 MONTH BUT NOT CHANGE HIM

  • hi Sreekanth,

    i have got my name corrected in UAN portal with this process.. however if i download my PF statement from epfindia site, it still has old name.. would this updated name would reflect there as well or we have to do any other formalities for this?

    Thanks,
    Snehal

    • 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.
      Regards,
      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.

        • Hi Rakesh,
          Seven days only!! Be patient.
          You have a long wait ahead!! 🙂
          Regards,
          Najeeb

      • Hi Najeeb,

        Same here, I have updated my employee name and AADHAR number on starting of December .

        @Snehal, Please let us know how many days will take to update the name corrections and AADHAR updation.

        Regards,
        Shilpi G S

        • hi, it will take more then 50 days by BOMMASANDRA field office, other state working good timely with in a week.

      • hi Najeeb. i have request for this on 6th December.. on 7th my employee approved this. after this it the status was pending till 12 Jan.. i kept checking the status but did not do anything else… my PF office is Bangalore…

  • 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

  • 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?

  • 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..

  • 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?

    Thanks,

      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 employeefeedback@epfindia.gov.in
      Hoping against hope to get some response from them.

  • 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”

      • 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.

        • 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

  • 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

    • My name correction request also vanishes at times but comes back when I open portal in 2-3 days.

  • My name Ganesh kinkar panda.but epfo AC. Name.Ganesh kiran panda. I go to online .but Aadhar not link .so I didn’t have changed.my UAN.100150252155.pls. help me.

    I have submitted name change request on UAN portal. Till yesterday I was able to see my request , it was pending with EPF field office. But from today I am not able to see my request under pending request . is it desired behaviour ? field office has accepted or rejected my request ?

    • Hi Chandni,

      Same here, till yesterday it was showing pending at field office, But today i cant even see the request.

      Anyways how many days since u have applied for modification?

      Thanks,
      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…

    • 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.

        • 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…

                    • 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 ?

          • 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?

            • CALLING, THESE PPL ARE NOT BOTHER TO PICK UP THE CALL….IT IS KEEP ON RINGING. do you have any specific phn. number where we can call.

              i have put request on 20th Dec and till now no updates. since yesterday i am not able to see my request on portal as per above communication.

              i have put grievance today. lets hope for the best how soon we helped by EPF office. Delhi north/south division.

              • yes, it’s government office and there are more than 1000 people visiting every day, so if they are not picking the call don’t get frustrated.
                they’ll pick up the call just keep calling.

    • Same for me. Nothing is showing in Pending Requests. But the requested changes NOT reflected in the Portal.

      • 1. For those whose request got disappeared , If you scroll down the page(basic details page), do you see the old request with updated status? I was able to see one for mine.

        2. All those who got impacted on 10th Jan,2018, are your PF accounts associated with Malad/Kandivali office?

        • Gagandeep,

          I cant see any request also yes mine is associated with malad kandivali office?

    • 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.

  • 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.
    I have also raised a grievance for the same and it is also pending at Regional PF office(Delhi South).I tried to contacting Regional PF office -Delhi South but no one is picking the call.
    Pls help me on what to do further.

  • 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.

  • 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.

      • 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.

  • 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 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 ?

  • 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?

    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.

    • Thanks . I have applied for name change . Now the status is “Pending at field office”. If the change is not reflecting in few days, I will raise a grievance.

  • Hello Friends,
    My Name Change Request Accepted by Field Office on Today. It Takes 33 Days after Placed an Request. My Employer takes 2 Days to Approve Request and Field Office takes 31 Days to Approve Request.

    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.

  • 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 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.

        • 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.

  • 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.

      • 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.
          You may submit your grievance online..click here..

    • 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 ..

  • 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.

    • 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 ?

        • 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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

      • 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

        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) ?

  • Hi,

    1) I logged into the UAN portal( The link Shared by you) and I am not able to see option ‘Modify Basic Details’ in UAN portal. Am I missing something?I have to modify my DOB to update my Aaadhar number.

    2) I been to EPFO Office, hyderabad and done manual verification but still It is not updated in UAN portal. The EPFO staff did not shared any Acknowledge number. Do I need to wait for some time?
