Name Error in EPF Account: How Can I Add My Missing Middle Name After 20 Years?

rambabu_shastri
My name was misspelled by the employers over 20 years ago in my EPF account as Rambabu Shastri, whereas it should have been Rambabu Gopinath Shastri. How can I get the middle name added to the EPF account?

Meet the Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner/Enforcement Officer of your area with relevant documents and a declaration from the employer confirming that both positions are held by the same individual, which is you.

Dear Member,

A certificate from the employer is sufficient to update the correct name in the EPF office.

My name is Rajeev Kumar. The EPF account is under Sarbjit Singh's name for manual return 6A, which is okay. However, when the computer updates the Excel file, there seems to be a mistake. Therefore, I kindly request to change the name on the EPF account.

Thank you.

Regards.

Please submit the letter to the respective PF local office from the authorized signatory of the employer. In the letter, please mention the old name as well as the new name and the respective PF number.

Thanks and Regards,

You can receive an acknowledged application mentioning the incorrect and correct name against your PF Account Number, along with a copy of your ID card, PF Slip, and Annual Return. However, the name will only change at the time of withdrawal. You need to attach the same inward copy of the application with the withdrawal forms.

My original name is "Anwaruddin," but when I check my PF account, it is mentioned as "Anwarrudin." I want to apply for PF. So, may I know what the solution for this is?

Hi,

My previous employer entered an invalid date of birth when creating my PF account, and now the employer is no longer available as the company was taken over by another company. I want to correct my DOB, but the process says that they need a letter from the employer. What do I do in this case?

Thanks and best regards,

Thank you.

Dear All,

I am coming across this kind of problem, most of the time due to wrong information given by the employees. Please let me know how to rectify the mistakes in PF if there is a justification with documentary proof.

Hi, my name is Satish. I know my PF account number, but I forgot my PF account name. Can you help me find out my name using my account number?

Dear all,

Please tell me if there is no option to change the name online because I have heard from many people that only an offline option is available for the same.

You need to submit a joint declaration application as an employee and employer, mentioning the wrong and correct names against your PF Account Number. Please attach a copy of the ID card along with the specified format for your reference.

Dear Sir,

I am Kuldip Kumar Ojha, Son of Late Lt. Birju Ojha, with Pf Account No. JH/RAN/00/31594/000/0000167 and U.A.N. No. 100721885266. The Contractor Name is Shri Gurugovind Singh Nursery/ (RO) Ranchi. We have already submitted an amendment for the correction of Name and Date of Birth through the contractor. However, the correction for the Name and Date of Birth has not been processed yet.

Kindly update the Name to Kuldip Kumar Ojha and the Date of Birth to 05/07/1972 instead of Kuldeep Ojha and the current date of birth.

I am looking forward to your prompt correction.

Regards,
Kuldip Kumar Ojha
