Dear CITI HR,
I am writing to seek your assistance in resolving a problem related to my pension account 25527. I am an ex-employee of Victory Mill, and my name is Mr. Vitthal Balu Salunkhe in Victory Mill records (Vithoba Baloo Salunkhe). I worked at the mill from 24/06/1974 to 25/09/1998 and resigned from my position.
After my resignation, the HR person at Victory Mill filled out Form 10D incorrectly and mistakenly mentioned my date of birth as 01/01/1950. As a result, I started receiving my pension four years earlier than expected, and the name printed on my passbook of Indian Post Office Bank is (V.B. Salunkhe) with the pension credited to this account.
When UID was implemented in India, I got my Aadhaar card, and I mentioned my correct date of birth as 01/06/1954. However, the EPFO pension department still has my date of birth as 01/01/1950. To expedite my pension, the EPFO asked me to open an account in a nationalized bank, and I linked my Aadhaar card and PAN card with my new bank account.
The problem arose when the pension accounts showed a different date of birth than my Aadhaar card. Due to this discrepancy, I have not received my pension for the last four years.
I am writing to request your assistance in resolving this issue. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take to correct my date of birth in the EPFO pension department's records? Should I submit a request for correction to UIDAI, or should I approach the EPFO directly?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,
Mr. Vitthal Balu Salunkhe

Dear Mr. V.B. Salunkhe,
Correcting the date of birth (DOB) to 01/01/1950 with UIDAI is ruled out since they will ask for proof. I hope your other proofs, like your school marksheet, have the correct DOB (01/06/1954). Do you have any proof for the incorrect DOB? It would be challenging without it.
I think at Victory Mill, they maintained an incorrect DOB for you from the start, not just in Form 10D. Did you submit a PAN card copy when submitting Form 10D? I'm not sure.
Have you informed the HR/PF office about the early credit of your pension from the beginning? You might have missed it due to a lack of knowledge. You cannot be blamed, but the negligence of HR impacted your pension disbursement.
My suggestion is to contact the respective PF office with all details, including the PPO copy and a detailed request letter explaining the discrepancy. This is a complex case and might take time. They will calculate the early pension received and the recovery process. You should highlight that you haven't received a pension for the past four years, which they should consider.
Please keep a copy of all documents submitted and ensure you get acknowledgment copies. Intervention through senior-level PF authorities might speed up the process.

Hi, alternatively, you can check with the Eseva center to inquire whether you can change your date of birth (DOB) on Aadhaar through an affidavit attested by a Notary Public in the absence of any other proof. I'm not sure about the feasibility of that option. Please verify this as it could be a much easier alternative.
