It's important to use the same name consistently across all official documents, including your Provident Fund (PF) registration and annual statements. In this case, since you initially registered with the PF using the name Om Narain, that is the name that should be used. However, since there is a discrepancy in your PF annual statement, you will need to correct this.
Here are the steps you should follow:
1. 📝 Write an application to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (RPFC) of your region, explaining the mistake in your name on the PF annual statement. Make sure you mention your correct name (Om Narain) and the incorrect name (Om Narainan).
2. 🧾 Attach evidence of your correct name. This could include copies of your PAN card, Aadhaar card, or other official documents that clearly show your correct name.
3. 👥 Submit this application and evidence through your current employer. They will forward these documents to the RPFC.
4. 🔄 In the meantime, when filling out any official forms, continue to use your correct name (Om Narain), including on the PF account transfer form.
5. 🙋‍♂️ Follow up with the RPFC or through your employer to ensure the correction has been made.
6. ✅ Once the correction is confirmed, make sure all future PF statements and other official documents reflect your correct name.
Please note that it's crucial to resolve this issue promptly to avoid any complications with PF withdrawals or transfers in the future.
As per the Indian labor laws, it's important to maintain consistency in the employee's name in all official records. Any discrepancy, as in your case, should be corrected at the earliest opportunity to prevent potential legal and administrative issues.
