How to correct/update Bank details in EPF/UAN online?
Yesterday EPFO shared this simple image to understand the procedure. I will share the same for your benefit.
Step 1:-Visit to Unified portal for members. Login with your user name and Password.
Step 2:- Click on “Manage” tab.
Step 3:-Select “KYC” from the drop down menu.
Step 4:-Here, you will find many options to update like Bank, PAN, Aadhaar, Passport, Driving License, Election Card, Ration Card, or National Population Register. Among all, select the option of the Bank.
Step 5:-Here, you will the Bank Account Number, Name and IFSC Code. Then click the tab “Save”.
step 6:-Now you have to wait for your employer’s approval. After that, your new bank details will be visible in the approved KYC section.
Do remember that there is no deadline set for the employer to complete the process. Hence, it mainly depends on your employer also.
Conclusion:-It is always better to check the bank details you provided for UAN. If they are wrong, then take the action of updating the same immediately. Because if your bank details are wrong, then in future your withdrawal may take the time or in a big hurdle.

Dear Seyed,
Wait for approval.
Same case with me. Settled but amount not credited. I got the correct details approved from employer. But passbook is not updated. Can i apply for claim once again or should I wait for passbook updation?
Dear Anindita,
Better to wait.
Thanks, if online updation of correct bank account is done, do we still need to send ASR form?
Dear Anindita,
Not required.

Dear Ankesh,
If the correct account is seeded, then leave it.
Hi,
My bank has changed its IFSC code so, I am trying to update the IFSC code only on the unified portal but I get an error stating that the bank account is already seeded with my UAN. Well, my bank account is the same as before but only the IFSC code has changed. Please advise on how I can change my IFSC code only.
Thanks and regards

hi, I submitted a PF advance claim on behalf of my friend a couple of weeks ago. A week later received a message as claim approved and it will be credited to the bank account number. four days later again a message has come from EPFO stating that the settled claim has been revert back to the EPF office. Bank details updated in EPFO are correct. but my friend’s name in the Bank doesn’t have initial and the EPFO has initial will this be a complicated one for the amount not getting credited to the given Bank Account number.

Hi,
I am trying to update the bank details on epfo site, but when I click on Save button, it just stuck on loading for hours and if I will refresh it shows details submitted but next day their is no records under KYC ending for approval section neither its rejected.
It s happening more than a week now, my internet speed is fine, no issue with the speed.
Dear Ashley,
Try with a different browsers.
I have tried it with both Chrome and Explorer. The problem still persists. As soon as you click save. It shows LOADING and nothing happens.
Dear Manas,
Then no option but to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
I too face the same problem. I have been trying to add bank details but the page remains stuck saying “LOADING…” However, today I tried the same thing after installing Firefox browser and it worked like a charm.
You try too, since the website says “This site is best viewed at 1920 x 1080 resolution in Mozilla Firefox 58.0+”
Dear Gayatri,
Thanks for sharing your experience.
it’s done using Firefox….Thank you so much. Great idea.
Dear Saurabh,
Great to know 🙂
Thanks a lot Gayatri….at about 1000 thanks…
Hi, its showing claim settled in Dec 2019, but not credited in my Bank account nor in my PF Account back. Twice filed grievance but of no use? Bank account number is correct except first two zeros which can not be entered. Please advise.
Dear Vignesh,
Then no option but to approach the regional EPFO.
Dear Basu..
Thank you for informative article as always.. I have a question not related to epfo portal but VPF.. Is there any limit to contribute via VPF irrespective of the basic salary by employer and also any lock-in period for withdrawal of money from VPF??
Dear Aravind,
Yes, there is a limit. Including VPF and EPF it should be 100% of your Basic+DA. VPF features are exactly like EPF.
Thank you so much..
