The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has simplified the process of updating personal details.
If your Universal Account Number (UAN) is linked to Aadhaar, you can now update your EPF profile without uploading any documents.
Easier Profile Updates
Earlier, updating details required employer approval, which could take up to 28 days. Now, if your UAN is verified with Aadhaar, you can directly update:
- Name
- Date of birth
- Gender
- Nationality
- Parents’ names
- Marital status
- Spouse’s name
- Joining and leaving date
However, if your UAN was issued before October 1, 2017, employer approval is still required.
Also, linking Aadhaar and PAN with your EPF account is essential to avoid delays in withdrawals and profile updates.
Key Benefits of the New System
45% of profile updates can now be self-approved, reducing delays. Fewer errors and improved data verification.
A faster and smoother experience for EPF members.
How to Update Your EPF Profile?
Follow these steps to update your details online:
- Go to the EPFO website www.epfindia.gov.in and open the Unified Member Portal.
- Log in using your UAN, Password, and Captcha.
- Click on the Manage tab.
- Select Modify Basic Details.
- Enter the correct information as per your Aadhaar and submit.
- Check your update status using the Track Request option.
With this new initiative, EPFO has made profile updates faster, more transparent, and hassle-free for its members.
