I am facing an issue with the KYC approval from EPFO, specifically with the Aadhar number. For instance, a member registered his name as Kamal S. Rawat at the time of EPF Registration. Later, he registered his name as Kamal Singh on his Aadhar. Now, the EPFO is declining to accept his Aadhar for his KYC. How can this problem be resolved? It is urgent as this member wants to withdraw some cash for his daughter's marriage.

The problem you are experiencing is due to the mismatch of names in the EPF account and the Aadhar card. As per EPFO rules, the name on the Aadhar should match with the name in EPF records for KYC approval. Here are the steps to resolve this issue:
1. The member needs to update his name in the EPF account to match with the Aadhar.
- To do this, he may visit the EPFO's member portal at https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/.
- Login using UAN (Universal Account Number) and password.
- Navigate to the "Manage" tab and select "Modify Basic Details".
- Enter the correct name as it appears on the Aadhar card and submit the request.
2. Your employer needs to approve this request.
- They can do this by logging into the Employer's interface of the EPFO portal.
- Navigate to the "Member" section and under it, select "Details Change Request".
- Here, they can view and approve your request.
3. Once approved by the employer, the request goes to the Dealing Hand of concerned EPFO office. After their approval, the updated name will reflect in the EPF account.
4. After these changes, the member can again try linking his Aadhar with the EPF account using the same member portal.
5. Once the Aadhar is successfully linked, the member can submit the online claim for withdrawal.
Note: Any changes to the Aadhar details need to be done by visiting the Aadhar enrollment center or through the UIDAI portal at https://uidai.gov.in/.
I hope this solves your problem. If you have any more queries, please don't hesitate to ask.
