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.

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.
Anindita
Thanks, if online updation of correct bank account is done, do we still need to send ASR form?

Not required.

Reji Mathew
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

Dear Reji,
Better you update through an employer.

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.

Try with a different browsers.
Manas Patnaik
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.
Basavaraj Tonagatti
Dear Manas,
Then no option but to raise an issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.
Gayatri
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 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??
Basavaraj Tonagatti
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.
Aravind
Thank you so much..
