Rectifying a Wrong Date of Exit in the EPFO Portal
Rectifying a wrong date of exit in the EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) portal requires specific steps as it involves updating an error in official records. Here's what you can do:
1. Login to the Employer Portal
- Visit the EPFO Employer Portal.
- Use your credentials (Employer ID and password) to log in.
2. Navigate to the Employee Details Section
- Go to the "Employee" section.
- Select "Member Profile" or "Manage" to find the specific employee whose exit date needs correction.
3. Verify the Exit Date
- Check the exit date filled in for the employee.
- Confirm the error to ensure you proceed correctly.
4. Submit a Request for Rectification
- Case 1: If the Employee is Still Working
- No exit date should have been filled for an active employee.
- You need to raise a grievance with EPFO or contact the EPFO office to request deletion of the exit date.
- Case 2: If the Exit Date is Wrong but Required (e.g., for Transfer)
- You can use the "Modify Exit Date" option if available in your employer portal.
5. File an Online Grievance (if necessary)
- If the employer portal does not allow you to make changes directly:
- Go to the EPFO Grievance Portal.
- File a grievance under the "Employer" category, mentioning the details of the employee, incorrect exit date, and the correct status.
- Attach supporting documents, such as a letter explaining the error and proof of continued employment (e.g., salary slips or employment records).
6. Visit the EPFO Office
- If online options fail, visit your regional EPFO office.
- Carry:
- A formal letter on company letterhead requesting the correction.
- Supporting documents like PF contribution records and employment verification.
- Employee consent, if needed.
