PF Claim rejected due to addition of middle name in bank records

pravin-deshmane
My name in PF records reflects as Pravin Deshmane. However, in the Bank my Name shows as Pravin Prabhakar Deshmane where Prabhakar is my father's name.
My PF claim has been rejected due to such name difference in Bank.
Please guide me on what is to be done now.

In order to claim PF, please ensure that your name on the following documents is consistent; else the claim will be rejected. So just ensure the same.
1. PAN card
2. Aadhar Card
3. Name in EPFO records
4. Name on the bank account.

As per your note, should I change my name in the Bank also? Please also tell if I would be required to give an affidavit to PF office- will it work?
Rahul Chhabra
In case your name is mismatched on the bank account alone, please change the name of the account and submit a fresh claim to EPFO.

seed your aadhar to your bank account, and they will change the bank account name, update that on portal and ask employer to verify digitally, after that you are eligible to file the claim
