EPFO announces to simplify updation process for personal profile, here to know steps

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced a simpler process for members to update their personal profile. This change is expected to benefit nearly 3.9 lakh members with a pending request. Now members can update their personal details like name, gender, date of birth, nationality and marital status without the need to submit any documents.

Earlier, any updates made to these would require documentation, which caused delays. Other service updates include the introduction of the Centralised Pension Payment System (CPPS), a joint declaration process, and clarifications on pension policy, etc.

According to a government release, 27% of the member grievances are related to profile/ KYC (Know Your Customer) issues. With the implementation of the revised profile update functionality, a reduction in the number of member grievances filed in the future is expected. Earlier, changes in personal information required verification from the employer, causing delays of up to 28 days.

Here to Know Steps:

To update EPF member details, log into the EPFO Unified Member Portal. Now submit your Universal Account Number (UAN), password and captcha to go to your account.

Next, go to ‘Manage' Tab and select 'Modify Basic Details' option to update personal information like name, date of birth, nationality, etc.

Make sure that the information filled matches with the details on your Aadhaar card. Moreover, EPFO has made it easier to transfer PF accounts when members change their employers.

Now, certain online transfers can be approved without the need for approval from the former or current employer, as long as your UAN is linked to Aadhaar and the details match.
