EPFO New Rule: EPFO ​​changed the rules, from name to DOB… now these things will be updated without documents

EPFO rule change

There have been many updates in the EPFO ​​system. The latest update is that members can easily edit their personal information including their name, date of birth, gender, nationality, parents’ name, marriage status, spouse’s name, date of entry and exit and other details without submitting any documents.

The Employees Provident Fund Organization has changed the rules to provide relief to its members and to simplify the updating process. Now employees can easily update the EPF profile. No documents will be required for this. This decision of EPFO ​​will benefit 3.9 lakh members with pending requests. These members now have the facility to cancel the pending requests and resubmit them under the new streamlined process.

Who will get this facility?
EPFO has informed that this facility is for those members whose Universal Account Number (UAN) is verified with Aadhaar. The purpose of this process is to reduce complaints and settle pending requests quickly. Earlier, verification from the employer was required for the change, which took about 28 days.

Aadhaar and PAN must also be linked
Now about 45 per cent of the requests can be self-approved by the member. The other 50 per cent can be dealt with only by the approval of the employer without the involvement of the EPFO. However, for this, members will have to ensure that their Aadhaar and PAN are linked to the EPF account, as this is mandatory for any update or withdrawal. Without this, there may be a delay in fulfilling the request.
