My name was misspelled by the employers over 20 years ago in my EPF account as Rambabu Shastri, whereas it should have been Rambabu Gopinath Shastri. How can I get the middle name added to the EPF account?

Dear Amandeep Gill,
You can receive an acknowledged application mentioning the wrong and correct name against your PF Account Number with a copy of ID card, PF Slip, and Annual Return. However, the name would change only at the time of withdrawal. You need to attach the same inward copy of the application with withdrawal forms.

Hi,
My previous employer entered an invalid date of birth when creating my PF account, and now the employer is no longer available as the company was taken over by another company. I want to correct my DOB, but the process says that they need a letter from the employer. What do I do in this case?

Dear All,
I am finding it very difficult to use the PF portal, especially when uploading KYC data and giving approval for digital signatures. Sometimes I am successful, and other times it is frustrating. I have approached concerned persons, but still haven't found a solution. I hope that you are all comfortable with the usage. This message is just to inquire about your experiences with it.

Hi Dipti,
In your case, either you need to withdraw your PF amount through online where employer signature is not mandatory. When you join the next company, inform HR to update your DOB properly. They will generate a new PF account and link it to your previous UAN ID. Alternatively, you can go to the PF office and meet the concerned person to understand what needs to be done.
Please note that if your previous employer has not updated your DOB, your new company cannot link your PF account. This means you cannot continue with your PF account if the DOB is not updated by your previous employer. Considering the company is no longer operational, it would be better to withdraw your PF amount or visit the PF office to update your DOB.
I hope this information helps. Let me know if you have any further questions.
