Stuck in EPFO UAN Update Limbo: How Long Should I Wait for a Name Change Approval?

Hello Members,

I had submitted an online request for modifying basic details (minor change in name). It was approved by the employer, but it shows as pending at the field office for the last two weeks. The PF office involved here is Delhi South. What would be the normal response time?

Thanks,

In the case of modifications to basic details in your EPFO UAN account, the normal response time can vary depending on the workload and processes of the specific PF office, in this instance, Delhi South. However, a delay of two weeks may indicate a need for follow-up action.

Here are some practical steps you can take to address this situation:
🔹 Contact the PF office in Delhi South directly to inquire about the status of your request. Provide them with your UAN and any reference numbers related to the modification request.
🔹 Request your employer to follow up with the PF office on your behalf to expedite the process.
🔹 If possible, visit the PF office in person to seek clarification and ensure that your request is being processed.
🔹 Check if there are any specific requirements or additional documents needed for the modification and ensure that you have submitted all necessary information.

By actively following up and engaging with the PF office, you can potentially expedite the processing of your request for modifying basic details in your EPFO UAN account.
