EPFO simplifies process of updating personal details

Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has simplified the online process of updating member profiles. The members whose Universal Account Number has already been validated through Aadhaar can update their profile with name, date of birth, gender, nationality, father or mother’s name, date of joining and date of leaving themselves without the requirement of uploading any document. Labour and Employment Ministry said this revision will immediately benefit around 3.9 lakh



members whose requests are pending at various stages. 

The Ministry said the consistency and authenticity of the personal data of EPF members in the database of EPFO is of paramount importance to ensure that the services are provided seamlessly. Only, in certain cases, where the Universal Account Number was obtained before 1st October 2017, the updation would require certification of the employer.
