Name Mismatch in PF Account and Bank Passbook: Will It Affect My Withdrawal?

Hi,

I have resigned from services and applied for closing my PF account. I have provided a copy of my bank account passbook for the money transfer. However, my name in my passbook is Josna Rajesh (Rajesh is my husband's name), while my name registered in the PF account is Josna Ravindran P. I would like to know if this difference in my name will be a problem.

Thanks

Difference in name could create a problem. Please cross-check with your bank where payments are to be received.

Hi,

I checked with the bank and found out that the account number is what matters, and the name is not an issue. I would like to know if this difference in name would be a problem for PF authorities.

Thanks
