My claim was rejected earlier due to a difference in my father's name. I submitted a Joint Declaration with my current employer to correct it. It was approved a while back (a few months ago). I again applied for EPF transfer from my old employer's account to my current employer after the Joint Declaration was approved. They rejected it again, citing the same reason that the father's name differs. My profile now reflects the correct father's name compared to all my KYC documents. What should be my next step?

I understand your frustration with the continuous rejection of your EPF transfer due to the difference in your father's name. Here's what you can do to rectify this issue:
1. 📑 Re-Confirm Your Details: Double-check that all your details, especially your father's name, are correct on both the EPF portal and your KYC documents. Any minor discrepancy may lead to rejection.
2. 📞 Contact Your Current Employer: Discuss this issue with your current employer's HR department. They may be able to provide additional assistance or guide you through the process again.
3. 💼 Reach Out to Old Employer: If possible, reach out to your previous employer's HR department as well. They might have retained some documents or details that could cause this discrepancy.
4. 🗂 File a Grievance: If the issue persists, you can file a grievance with the EPFO through the EPFiGMS portal. Here's how:
- Go to the EPFiGMS portal (https://epfigms.gov.in/)
- Click on 'Register Grievance'
- Fill in all the required details accurately, especially your UAN, mobile number, and the grievance category (Transfer of accounts in your case)
- Clearly explain your issue in the 'Grievance Description' section.
- Click on 'Add' and then 'Submit'
5. 📧 Contact EPFO HelpDesk: If the issue still remains unresolved, you can write an email to employeefeedback@epfindia.gov.in, explaining your issue in detail. Include your Universal Account Number (UAN), your EPF account number from both employers, and the supporting documents for the Joint Declaration you submitted earlier.
Remember that the EPFO department is bound by the EPF & MP Act, 1952 and operates under the Ministry of Labour and Employment. They are required to assist you in resolving your issue. Be patient, as it may take a few weeks to get a response due to the high volume of queries they receive.
