How Can I Withdraw My EPF Money with Different Names on My Accounts?

Hi, I was a teacher in school from 2008 to 2011. Now, I have left my job, and I want to withdraw my EPF money. However, there is an issue as the name registered in my EPF account is different from the name in my bank account. Is it possible to transfer the money from my EPF account to my bank account?

Please contact your HR Department, who is dealing with PF-related matters, and ask them to issue a letter stating that the name mentioned in the PF Statement is ______ and your real name as per records is ________, which is the name mentioned in the Bank Account. Further, they can certify that the name mentioned in the PF Statement and Bank Account is of the same person.

This will sort out the issue, and the cheque will be deposited in your account by PF Authorities through NEFT Transfer, for which you will receive the SMS Alert too from the PF Office if you mention your Mobile No at the top of Form 10C and Form 19.
