How to Resolve PAN Verification Failure on EPF Site for Retired Employee's PF Withdrawal?

What is the remedy if we receive the following message while doing KYC for PAN number on the EPF site?

Message: "Pan verification failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in the Income Tax Department):

The concerned employee has completed five years of service and is now retired. He wishes to withdraw his PF. Please advise on this.

Dear Nrvyas,

Since the employee in question has completed 5 years, the question of submitting IT Form 15-G does not arise. You may go ahead with the withdrawal process. PAN not linked as KYC will not be a bar for PF withdrawal.

What if the person has not completed 5 years of service? What should be done in that type of case? Please suggest.

What is the remedy if we get the following message while we are doing KYC for PAN number on the EPF site:

Message: "Pan verification failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department) : The concerned employee has completed two years of service and is retiring. He wants to withdraw his PF. Please advise on this.

Srinath, if UAN name doesn't match with PAN & Aadhaar, then how to make it the same? Aadhaar is already approved. When I am going for online withdrawal, it says 34.80% tax will be deducted due to a PAN card data mismatch.

UAN Name: Sanghvi Virenbhai Aadhaar Name: Viren H Sanghvi PAN Name: Viren H Sanghvi

I can't submit a hard copy of the joint declaration as I am working in Gujarat, and my PF Office is in Malad Kandivali, Maharashtra. Kindly suggest.

Dear Viren,

Please do not confuse Aadhaar and PAN. Please log in to your UAN Portal and opt for Modification of Basic Details by entering your Aadhaar Number. Once the same is approved by your Ex-Employer, your name in the UAN Portal will be as mentioned in Aadhaar. You have admitted that you are employed. While in employment, withdrawal is not permitted. However, opt for transfer.

Dear Srinath,

When I opt to modify my KYC in the UAN portal, it says Aadhaar is already verified, and your details aren't editable. Kindly suggest. Can I get it updated by my new employer, or do I have to submit a joint declaration in hard copy to the PF office?

Dear Viren,

Once Aadhar is verified, the details are not editable, and no problem occurs in withdrawing PF. However, if PAN is not verified, in that case, please apply for PF withdrawal and send the PAN copy (or) Form-15 G to the regional PF office along with the online withdrawal forms through mail (or) directly (if the employee's service does not exceed 5 years).

Thank you.

Dear Pradeep, I am providing you with more details on my issue regarding UAN:

UAN Name Discrepancy

UAN Name: Sanghvi Virenbhai
Aadhaar Name: Viren H Sanghvi
PAN Name: Viren H Sanghvi
PF Office Region: Maharashtra (Malad - Kandivali)

I cannot change my Aadhaar and PAN names as I file IT returns under the same name. Therefore, I require a correction in my UAN Name.

Issue with Online Modification

When I attempt to modify my basic details online and fill out the entire form, it indicates that my Aadhaar is verified, hence the details cannot be modified.

TDS Deduction Concern

Now, when I try to make an online withdrawal, it states that 34.6% TDS will be deducted as the PAN is not verified.

I have provided the same UAN number to my current employer for PF purposes.

I hope you now understand my situation. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in finding a better and effective solution to this issue.

If you have any solutions, please reply at your earliest convenience as I am feeling a bit anxious.

Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam, I'm also struggling to get eKYC done for PAN, Aadhar, and IT Returns records as my name is differently mentioned in these three places. I think it should match in these three places in order to get the eKYC done in the UAN Portal. I'm worried about updating the basic details in the UAN portal as it might not match with any of the PAN/Aadhar/IT Returns or with my bank account records. Request anybody to help me in getting the eKYC done in the UAN Portal, having the name discrepancy. Thank you.

Regards, RN SUDARSAN
