How many days does a company/employer take to update Date of exit of an ex-employer in EPF account?

"Date of exit of an ex-employer "? or ex employee?

Depending upon the employer it can take a day to more than a few months. It will be updated the next day itself by a good employer having a good Personnel department authorised to use the digital signature. Some employers outsource such activities and they will visit the company only once or twice. In such situation, it may take time. But under normal circumstance they will do it before they upload the next ECR.

Date of exit can be updated only after 2 months of leaving the service (After 2 months you have left the company, effectively 2 months after your last working day). System checks this condition via whether there is contribution made by your employer in the last 2 months, if there has been no contribution made by the employer it allows you update Date of Exit in the PF UAN portal.

Under which section is it mentioned that date of exit can be marked only after two months of leaving? It is true that an employee can withdraw the PF accumulations only after two months of leaving but the employer can very well exit an employee immediately after his exit. Moreover, if you wait exiting an employee for two months, that employee will not be able to transfer the funds to the new establishment PF. Therefore, the employer should mark exit immediately after the actual exit takes place.

,memeber can mark exit through epf employee portal any day after the keaving the organisation.
Previous Employer has the duty to approve the same if it is correct as per the records.

@madhu Sir. attaching here with the picture for your information.

The attachment is not a screen shot of the employer portal but it is employee/ member portal. The question here was all about in how many days shall an employer update or mark exit and this can be done by the employer on the next day itself by logging into his portal, ie, employer portal. At the same time, if the employer is not giving exit to an employee, he can "mark exit" through his portal. This can be done after two months' waiting. The screenshot is supporting this one and not the employer's act of exiting an employee.

Now, coming to why the employee portal is restricting marking exit for two months is that withdrawal of PF can be made only after two months of leaving an establishment and not joining an organisation where the PF applies. If the employee has continued the membership with the same UAN but with different PF member Id (obviously, the PF member id will change with every change in employment but the UAN should remain the same) this question would not have popped up.
