EPF Provident Fund Correction of Name , DOB and Gender online process

It has been noticed that many EPF (Provident Fund) members and Employers are facing problems in seeding Aadhaar Number with UAN as there is a mismatch in Employee Name, DOB or Gender between Aadhaar data and UAN data. Even a minor letter or an extra space between names is generating the mismatch error between Aadhaar Data and Name Data. Previously member and employer were required to give joint request to concerned EPFO field office for correction in basic details along with various proofs for the same.

Now, this request of Correction in Name, Date of Birth (DOB) and Gender can be given online by the member and the same can be approved by Employer and be forwarded online to the concerned EPFO office.
