How to link Aadhaar to EPF using online and offline?

EPFO now made it mandatory to link Aadhaar to EPF. Earlier there was an option to update it online only. However, now they started offline facility also.

Do remember that the deadline to link Aadhaar to EPF by employees and pensioners is extended to 30th April 2017.

Note:-

  • If your details of UAN not matching with Aadhaar details like name, gender and date of birth, then you can update the UAN details online. Refer my latest post for the same “EPF UAN name, gender and date of birth correction – Online procedure“.
  • Now EPFO started the facility to link Aadhaar to EPF online without login. Refer my post for the same “How to link Aadhaar to EPF Online without login?“.

Why have we to link Aadhaar to EPF?

# Aadhaar is one of the important KYC document which contains details like your name, date of birth and address details along with your photo.

# By linking Aadhaar to EPF, you will make it easy to merge multiple UAN numbers into single UAN.

# Aadhaar is used as Proof of Identity (POI) and Proof of Address (POA). This will reduce the number of documents to upload into a single document.

# During withdrawal process of EPF, it makes easy for EPFO to verify your KYC credentials at ease.

These are the major benefits for link Aadhaar to EPF. There may be some different views of making Aadhaar linking as mandatory. But going forward Aadhaar may be one of the important document of your authentication.

How to link Aadhaar to EPF online?

Using online facility of EPFO you can easily link your Aadhaar to EPF. Let us see the steps involved in this.

1) Go to EPFO Unified EPF Portal

EPF Unified Portal Login

Using your UAN number and Password login to Unified Portal.

2) Once you login, then the screen looks like below. Here, under Manage tab, select the KYC option from the drop-down menu. Update KYC in EPFO

3) Once you select KYC tab, then you will find the screen as below. Here, EPFO provided the options to update Bank details, PAN details, Aadhaar, Passport, Driving License, Election Card, Ration Card or NPR.

We have to select the option of Aadhaar. Enter the Aadhaar number and also the name as it appears in Aadhaar Card EXACTLY. Then click on SAVE tab.

link Aadhaar to EPF

The majority of employees will face the issues here. Due to a mismatch in names or service issues with either EPFO or UDAI, you may be unable to update it. If there is a mismatch with name, then try to inform the same immediately with your employer to resolve the issue.

4) Once you save it, then you can view the same under pending KYC option. The screen of that will look like below. Wait for around 15 days for approval. If it is approved, then your Aadhaar status will be available in “Approved KYC” area.

EPF KYC Status

This is how you have to link Aadhaar to EPF.

How to link Aadhaar to EPF offline?

Considering the hardship of employees and pensioners in linking Aadhaar to EPF online, EPFO launched the facility to update or link it offline.

The EPFO has developed this Aadhaar seeding application with support of the (CSC) Common Service Centers and CDAC. The Common Services Centers (CSC) are ICT enabled front end service delivery points at the village level for delivery of Government and private services. With the implementation of Aadhaar Seeding Application, now Provident Fund member or pensioner can walk in any of the field offices of EPFO or CSC outlets with UAN & Aadhaar and seed the Aadhaar with the UAN.

With the implementation of Aadhaar linking Application, now employees or pensioner can walk in any of the field offices of EPFO or CSC outlets with UAN & Aadhaar and seed the Aadhaar with the UAN.

This offline linking is the latest news. As of now, I am having this much information only. I will update this section once I get more information on this.

Hope this much information is enough for you to link Aadhaar to EPF easily and within the deadline provided by EPFO.

    On the EPF website, under the option “Online Services” – Transfer Request

    One of the points under the instructions reads as below-

    “Only one transfer request against the previous member ID can be accepted” What does this imply?

    I have to link 3 past/old PF accounts to my current PF account. I did not have a UAN with my previous employers. Per my understanding, before I can link all the PF accounts, I need to contact my previous employers individually, share my UAN and request them to link UAN to the PF no.

Now, name and order in UAN profile and AADHAAR are same. Also, there is no discrepancies or spelling issues in Name, Gender, DOB. Still, when I try to add AADHAAR as KYC document in UAN member portal, it is showing “AADHAAR authentication failed. AADHAAR number, Name, DOB or Gender mismatch with registered data” error . Due to this error, I am not able to submit online claim. Please note that I could successfully link AADHAAR with UAN via EKYC portal of EPFO and it is showing AADHAAR = “Verified (OTP)” in UAN member portal. However, above error is not allowing me to proceed with online claim. Please share your valuable feedback.

    Now, when I check my online portal, the aadhar number is still not updated,

    My father got retired from a PSE in 2014. His name in EPF and subsequent PPO has a typographical error of one alphabet. Can you please guide me about the procedure to be followed to correct this error. ?
    And do retired employees can also use online UAN facility ?

    Thank you for the detailed guide!

    I linked my aadhar card a few days ago and got a status saying that the verification pending at field office, but now the field is blank and also the KYC tab does not reflect my aadhar details.

    Appreciate if you could please share any insights about this.

    Hi, There is an name mismatch between UAN and AADHAR. So I was not able to update AADHAR details in KYC. I have initiated name modification request in online . It is pending at PF field office for long time. I have decided to withdraw through offline. I have filled all the necessary withdrawal forms and got establishment seal from employer. But employer says, my KYC status should be yes. But my KYC status shows NO. Please advise, is it necessary that the status to be YES.

                If there is any mismatch in the details (Name, DOB etc.) between the Aadhar and UAN, then it fails with “Temporary Error”. Please check if there are any differences in your name, DOB address etc in your aadhar card and UAN portal.

                If there is any difference in UAN(even a small spelling error), then you should contact your employer to get it corrected. Unfortunately, neither you, nor your employer can change the details. Your employer will have to submit a declaration to the PF office for the error in details.

    I got the reference number# 104027 and the present status shows as ‘Pending at employer’. I have checked with the employer and they said they have no idea on this reference number.

    Can you please let me know, how to track this reference number to be approved so that I can update the KYC details.

            My offline withdrawal forms i already submitted last week.
            Before that i was trying for online withdrawal, but because of aadhar kyc issue i couldn’t do it.

            My worry is becuase of this merger issue, anything will happen to my offline withdrawal..?

      Hi Madan,
      Please match your Aadhar & UAN details and look for whichever is incorrect. eg: if your DOB is correct in Aadhar and incorrect in UAN, you need then contact your employer to correct your DOB in UAN as it is part of KYC.

In the meanwhile I have dont mutiple follow ups through emails/calls/grievences to my pf home branch for 2 months but really pathetic service and for and finally before writing this comment I got first email from them saying your aadhar is approved and your claimclaimis in process this was the response I got after 10 emails/50 calls/2 grievence request with epfo bandra office 🙂 🙂 good that they wouldnt have replied after my retirement. 😉

                      Aadhar seeding through CSC/EPFo works only for transfer option I think even if yiur aadhar is not approved under kyc if your aadhar is seeded through csc/epfo/online it will allow you to raise transfer request but not the online claim option in UAN portal

            even I seeded my aadhar via online mode and now getting a message AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office. Also, in the PF unified portal Aadhar as KYC is showing pending and when checked with the employer there is nothing showing pending at their end. do not know whats happening?
            And, when i’m tracking it in e-KYC Portal it says : Dear Member,
            Your Aadhaar Details XXXX XXXX 4085 against UAN XXXX XXXX 3954
            has successfully been verified.
            Online services linked with Aadhaar can be availed.

    “no”

    Even if KYC is approved still the UAN cannot be Unfolded becoz “Aadhar is NOT Authenticated” when even my Bank accounts are authenticated by the very same Aadhar Card…Why shd we waste our time standing in mile-long queues in EPFO Bandra for eg.?

    Dear Basavaraj,

    I had an issue like name,gender and Dob mismatch while updating my Aadhar details against my UAN.
    My AADHAR is issued with wrong name and DOB initially and I have submitted the same for my employer while creating the UAN, later I have corrected the details and got the new AADHAR.

    Here is my scenario.

    Current Details in UAN portal:
    B.Abcdef (proper name but not fully written as per Aadhar)
    dob: 01-02-1990 (Proper AAdhar)

    Old Aadhar:
    Bxyz Abcdef (a letter is missing in surname)
    dob: 01-05-1980 (Improper DOB)

    Current aadhar: (aadhar with proper details)
    Bxyzz Abcdef (Proper name)
    dob: 01-02-1990 (Proper Dob)

    Can you please suggest me how can I proceed with.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Sir,

    In My UAN details, my middle name is missed, that’s the reason it is not linking to Adhaar.

    I tried using following link to request for updating my middle name(which is missed as per UAN)

    http://103.194.45.139/INOPHelpDesk/jsp/submitDescription.jsp

    and

    But after filling all details, at last page number, i am not getting OTP to “verify pin and Submit”. i am tried this lots of time and getting blocked here.

    Any body knows how to proceed..?

    Can an employer reduce the pf contribution? Can he change the employee’s basic salary to reduce his contribution to EPF? For us up to last month they have deducted Rs.1400/- and from this month they are deducting Rs.878/- only. Is that possible or illegal? If illegal what action we should take against him?

    Hello

    I have left my Previous company 2 1/2 years back and i wanted to withdraw the PF amount and i learned that i can withdraw the PF amount without the previous/present employers attestation. but for this to happen i need to have my aadhar and Bank account details linked to my UAN. my Bank account details are verified but the issue is with the aadhar number. it is already updated but not verified and when i try to verify it says details mismatch and not getting verified.

    1) so to whom i need to approach to get this corrected. do i need to check with my prev employer
    2) can i still go ahead with the old procedure of going through the attestation
    3) Can i my current employer can fix the aadhar details .

        I can see that my name is not displayed correctly as per what is in Aadhaar.
        How can delete this and add Aadhhar details again?

    Not able to link uan with Aadhar and getting name DOB etc mismatch error as others when trying the online route, so visited a CSC and linked through OTP option in their software. Received OTP from UIDAI and also confirmation mail from UIDAI that authentication through OTP successful from EPFO system. But when I checked the uan portal when reaching home not able to see Aadhar under approved or pending KYC. Is there any idea whether my linking is successful. Whether there is any timeframe for this to get updated in the uan portal under approved or pending KYC.

        Further to our last conversation I would like to share my experience on linking UAN with Aadhar. As mentioned earlier my issue is my name in Aadhar is with initials expanded and name in UAN is with initials only so not able to link online and getting error.

        I tried linking through CSC software which also showed the same mismatch and the CSC personal said that they may clear as it is minor only. I waited for a month and nothing happened, so decided to visit the EPFO. Checked with a person working in EPFO whether we can visit any epfo office or only the concerned EPFO where our account is and he checked and asked to visit the concerned EPFO only.

        Visited the regional EPFO at Royapettah Chennai and tried to link, to my surprise the software used in CSC is same what is being used in CSC and the lady shown me the name mismatch and said you cannot link it and informed me of 2 options.

        1. If you want to link immediately collect joint declaration form from counter, change name with your employer(provided you name in Aadhar is correct) fill the form, sign yourself and get it attested from the employer with seal, attach a copy of Aadhar and submit at the concerned EPFO. Then the name in UAN will be corrected and Aadhar can be linked online or offline.

        2. If you can wait they are on the process of making changes in their software as done for linking pan for accomodating minor changes as mine but the time for which this to happen may be 2 to 3 months or more which she is not certain.

        This is my personal experience on the issue and thought sharing this will be useful to others also.

    What does this mean? I have joined a new organisation and while trying for online pf transfer I am getting Aadhar authentication issue. Probably it’s because my epfo registration is with initial included in my name.(Surabhi M Panwar) and on Aadhar card it’s only Surabhi Panwar. It says mismatch while doing KYC. How can the employer help in this situation? Please clarify.

    Hi, I forgot my UAN password and lost my registered mobile number. So i tried to change my mobile number and it gave me the erro “Aadhar and PAN not verified”.
    How do i link AADHAR card an PAN card to my EPFO account in this case?

    Dear Basu Sir,

    My Mother receives family pension from EPF after my Father’s demise. For the last 2 months, pension not received, when we checked with EPF and bank, they asked us to link my mother’s AADHAAR through Jeevan Praman. So, we did Jeevan Praman which is nothing but getting a digital life certificate. I hope there is no UAN to be generated for my mother as she is family pensioner and not an employee. Please clarify our doubt.

    Also, we did this Jeevan Praman link in Bangalore whereas she receives pension in Chennai. We just give the PPO number as per the document. There is no identification that this PPO number belongs to chennai/tamilnadu. Is that ok….? Noone at bank or EPFO is guiding us on this.

    Looking forward your reply.

    Regards
    Mathan

      What is the address on the AADHAR(Chennai/Bangalore)?

      Probably if they identify from AADHAR that you are residing in a different state, PENSION might be stopped.

      Also, since you have just got the PPO number you can just wait for a couple of weeks for that to get updated and check if the next months pension is credited.

      For PPO, there is no need of UAN.

      You can track your credits of pension from the below link:

          “They can’t force anyone to stay in same locality. ” .. but there are a few people whom I know who lost their pension because of this reason. But, cannot confirm if this was the ONLY reason why their pension was stopped or if there are any other reasons.

              Yes, the complete process is getting streamlined, that is what is happening and there is no use of this thread to discuss that this is right and this is wrong(as what ever is documented in form of a note or circular as well is in vain, visiting the nearest EPFO centers is also of no help as they are in a complete dilemma and no info with them as well). There is no concrete procedure that is in place at this point of time, it is a complete chaos with the labor department. Online transfer not happening, offline withdrawal process is taking months, online website not upto the mark with all errors(though AADHAR is updated and showing up in KYC, there is a popup which shows to update AADHAR … and so on..), passbook is not up to date with the amount credits, it still shows the credits only upto March(not sure about April, May and June credits and interest update for last FY)… It seems that it will take a couple of more months as per the grievance cell for everything to fall in place if not more.

                  I understand..waiting from last November, more than 8 months. Testing our patience. Not at all a publicity stunt, was a good thought by the PM, but the people who are implementing it including the labor department minister along with his assistants have failed in this perspective, I understand, it is a big process, but that cannot be a reason to get away..background work has miserably failed, no back up. It is like demonetization, want everything computerized, soft cash, wanted to see no utilization of hard cash, demolish black money, so old 500 and 1000 rupee notes cancelled(good thought again, but people including RBI and then its partner banks who was implementing this has miserably once again failed to create a back up or work on its after effects) … not sure about the future when the present is looking dark for many..The same will be now with GST..nothing for the common man once again….only benefiting the rich. As per a study 2000 crore burden(if not more) on farmers, where we say our Nation(INDIA) is dependent on agriculture, farmers once again are ditched along with the common man. People who took it up to implement this is definitely a good thought, but people who are sitting in the AC rooms and designing the framework ….. I have no words for them… Not sure why it is taking so long to recover from demonetization and this UAN structure with EPF and not sure what will happen with GST that is gonna start this midnight. Seeing many farmer suicides across a few states was alarming and _____________

      Since your mom is NOT an employee but just a recipient of family pension, there should be no need for UAN for her.

      I believe you have already completed the aadhar linking with digital life certificate (through Jeevanpraman)

      Usually pension is credited to bank account within first week of the month.Just check whether you got it in your bank account.If not contact your bank where it gets credited.Hope this helps

My employer has submitted the same on March 30 to EPFO office but I don’t see my correct name reflecting on the UAN portal. What should I do? I got Aadhar Seeded today manually visiting the EPFO office. But here are my couple of questions:

    1. When will my Aadhar number reflect on the UAN portal.
    2. When will my correct name appear on the UAN portal. It’s already been 90 days.
    3. Changing my job next month, with the above issues. How should I proceed?

      2) Not sure.
      3) Better you resolve now. Otherwise, raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

        Rest others Adhar linked with EPF account.. This was my general observation.

        This error is not genuine.. Its intentional error by EPF department..

        It was common observation, whenever people withdrawal fund in above mentioned category(offline), they faced lots of problem & hardly 2-5% peoples claim fulfilled without in hesitation.

                Did not receive any message as biometric seeding was done not through otp

                  Thanks, Nimesh, Basavaraj. Was there any mismatch in your name on AADHAR and on UAN?
                  In my case, the UAN card has my name as expanded by my AADHAR card has initials. So, I was getting the “name mismatch” error when I tried to link AADHAR to UAN online. So, I went to the EPFO in Bangalore. The lady there took my UAN and added the AADHAR number and I verified through biometrics. She said AADHAR is seeded but the system will reject it later because of the mismatch. Is that correct? Should I apply for name change in UAN in spite of completing the AADHAR seeding process?

                      I went to the EPFO at Richmond Circle. There is a separate desk for AADHAR seeding. You can also find signage to point you the way within the building.

    1) Problem occur while updating KYC pan card

    Reason: Pan verfication failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the NAME in Income Tax Department)

    2) Problem occur while updating KYC Aadhare card

    Reason: Aadhaar authentication failed. AADHAAR number, Name, DOB or Gender mismatch with registered data

    Plz help what to do

    Looks like some kind of data-mismatch correction is in place. I’ve been checking new UAN portal almost daily and online withdrawal option has opened up for me today. It is only allowing me to select – ‘Partial withdrawal/advance’, may be because – ‘Date of Exit’ is not set yet. I’ve been un-employed (early retirement) for more than 60 days and now asked my employer to get this date updated.

    Btw, when I check with my wife’s UAN, I still see same old ‘Aadhar authentication failed’ error. So, it looks like work-in-progress.

                  As Blog Admin has already pointed out, you have to submit the forms separately. That is because one may only be eligible for EPF withdrawal and not for EPS withdrawal (i.e if EPS contribution is less than 6 months or greater than 9.5 years)

Still, I see the message ” Aadhar not seeded visit nearest EPF office” while selecting the withdrawal claim option. So I went EPF office and done fingerprint/thumb verification there. In their system, it showed something like seeding successful. Still even after 2 days, now the online account shows the same “Aadhar not seeded” message!! What did I miss?

      According to your query, you definitely withdraw your 100% epf balance without your employer sign.

      follow below steps:

      1. Your KYC should be approved by employer.
      2. fill the 19 and 10 c claim form.
      3. If your epf balance is between 50k and 2.50k then you need to fill the 15g form also.
      3. After filled this form you need to attached a cancel check with your form.
      4.And send it by courier to EPFO office where your account is available.

      I am sure u will get ur epf balance.

            In the EPFO Grievance cell there also no one is aware of this option. They basically want to lock/block all the 5.2 crore PF members with their money. They need to invest money in the government pet projects and schemes. So they need to create madness in the system where everyone is unaware of everything.

            There was no need for the new UAN portal. The earlier UAN portal was of UPA Government, so the sitting govt felt they need to do something to appease labour class. What we got is a non-functional UAN portal with no KYC migration.

            Moreover, why cant Aadhaar be seeded with UAN with online OTP? Why physical fingerprint at
            EPFO office is required? Are we truly into Digital India?

    Thank you for such informative articles that too in simple easy-to-follow language. I often come to your site to find answers whenever I have doubt on such matters. I just followed your instructions as above and hope after 15 days Aadhar details will come into Approved KYC.

    Meanwhile, I have been getting direct credit of Pension since Dec 2016 into my bank account (I completed 58 years in August 2016 and submitted claim form 10-D in Sept 2016) incl. arrears for Sept to Nov 2016. Thereafter every month it gets credited on 1st or 2nd as Pension for previous month.

    Surprisingly, no credit has come after 2nd May 2017 (for month of April 2017). I tried the Customer toll free number but all the time it is engaged.

    Shall be grateful if you can please guide me – many thanks !!

After almost one and half hours of queuing up, I managed to get the biometric done and was informed, the arrear Pension would be released on 10th July for May and thereafter for June, it will release in end july. Let us hope that happens. Its a nightmare visiting that place and so many very senior citizens in the queue is really pathetic. Our Govt should do something positive to alleviate such suffering of pensioners.

        Many thanks again. Regards

            Sir, I followed your steps for “How to Link Aadhar to EPF online ” on 13.6.17 morning. However, since my pension credit has stopped I visited EPFO Kolkata on 14.6.17 with photocopy of my Aadhar and Bank Passbook. They did the Jeevan Pramaan i.e. Digitial Life Certificate and biometric. They told “Pending KYC” would become “approved” in 10 or 15 days.

            Happy to share, today when I logged online at https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/ to check, it is appearing under “Approved KYC”

            Many thanks for your helpful guidance in easy steps as above.

            Sincere Regards
            Ms Kanta

            I tried to withdraw my PF online , but I got error as your “Aadhar is not authenticated by UADAI . Please visit nearest EPFO office. ”
            My PF account number starts with AP as my office was in hyderabad.
            As per your blog and error displayed on portal, I visited to nearest EPFO office located Charkop, Kandivali West Mumbai.
            I waited in enquiry queue for 2 hours to get my turn.
            Enquiry officer told me that they can not help me on withdraw process as they dont have my data. He suggested to visit andhra EPFO for further process.
            Also gave token to meet EPF team .
            Person from that team said that this EPFO office do not have centralized server. They can’t help me. Also told me that Online PF withdrawal process is not allowed. News Media said about online process but it is all not implemented. Only one option to withdraw PF is to visit Andra EPFO office and submit below documentations,
            1. Bank cancelled cheque
            2. Copy of PAN
            3. Form 19 & 10c composite form
            4. 15 G form
            5. ID proof copy.

It is ridiculous that Labour Ministry and EPFO office claims one thing, and these lower level management speaks the different things.

            Dear Sir,

            I majorly have couple of issues.

            1) In bank approved KYC my CIF number has been approved with the proper IFSC code instead of bank account number.Will it create a problem while filling for the Online claim.
            2) My Aaadhar number has been verified on 30 May 2017 by my past employer .Now when I am trying to fill the Online claim it cannot be done as it is still showing to update your aadhar.
            Moreover I am sent mail to the epf offices regarding this issue but they have not yet revert back on these two issues I am facing .Kindly let me know what needs to be done in this connection.

            Regards

              Ramesh-1) CIF stands for? If it is other than bank account, then you have to correct it.
              2) I think you have to link Aadhaar.

                CIF is my customer Identification number which is showing in approved KYC instead of bank account . number .Will it have a impact in withdrawal of my PF as it says aacount number should be seeded not CIF number.

                My aadhar is already showing in approved KYC then why again to link aadhar again.

                Please revert back.

                    Sorry to say As per your previous mail wherein you have said that the account number is not considered by EPFO but the Customer Identification number is required for the transfer of funds with IFSC code.
                    Though my CIF number is approved in KYC ,instead of account number.

                    Do I have to update again my bank account number or the CIF number with IFSC holds good.
                    Please update.

        I tried to visit nearest EPFO office, they said they can not see my record in their system. Nothing can be done by their end.

If you have any other EPFO (apart from the one you approached), then go and try to update the same. If the answer is same from there also, then raise the issue with EPFO Grievance Cell Online.

        Yes, it shows under ” APPROVED ” .. But still says ” AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office. “…

        Seems to be a technical glitch as they are still in the process of streamlining this Provident Fund and Pension details digitally online(Computerized).

        I will try to visit the nearest EPFO and see what they have to say and will keep you guys updated..

        Also, it seems that there is probably a field missing which should allow us or employer to upload the documents, or if it was there probably it is missing the option to view the document uploaded.

                    This is just a scam. The errors you get is not glitch but systematic way of telling people to do it offline. They will not allow the online claims cause if they do many will go for it and they will lose money in crores in a single day.

In the case of one of blog reader’s case, the same so-called GREVIANCE CELL suggested to visit regional EPFO and link physically. Linking Aadhaar with EPFO is online. But there are many who don’t know about INTERNET and EPFO is well aware of it. Hence, they are insisting on linking it by physically visiting the EPFO Office. I think my SILLY answer now holds good for you 😛

    Hi,

    I’ve logged into my UAN account (unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in) on 1st of May hoping for initiating PF withdrawal but failed to do so. Each time when I click Online Services << Claim (Form 31, 19 & 10C) an error message showed up "Please update your AADHAAR". My approved KYC documents are Bank Acc. No., Aadhaar and PAN where my name is similar in all(of 3).

    My bank account and PAN is already linked to my Aadhaar via their respective portals. I don't know why such error is displaying each time. EPFO Tollfree never works, they don't respond to email……I humbly request you provide any feasible solution to me. Thanks in Advance.

        Automagically the error msg changed to ” Please update your latest Bank account no. and IFSC details through your employer.” without any intervention by me. I don’t know how the things going on at the backend but this is really frustrating.

    Hello Basavaraj,

    Thank you so much for the valuable information. I have a small question, Who approves the Aadhar KYC and does it involve my employer?

    Since I have not worked with the last employer for more than a year, I wanted to withdraw my epf without them as i have lost contact. Is the online withdrawal possible if my aadhar, PAN and bank accounts are successfully linked? Do i still have to send the withdrawal forms to my employer? Thanks in Advance.

    I left my company few months back and now I am self employed and trying to withdraw my PF however I learnt from my employer that details in EPF records should match the same in KYC Docs while filling form19. My name in EPF record is not the same has in KYC docs. My employer sent me Name correction doc and I updated and sent it back. Now I get a response from that Name correction doc is rejected by EPF team for not updating KYC Docs like Aadhar, PAN. While I try to update the KYC docs I get error stating PAN verification failed. (Name against UAN does not match with the Name in Income Tax Department). Because of this reason only I sent name correction docs to employer now seems like it’s not leading me anywhere.

    While updating the AADHAAR online to EPF, I got below error.

    “Invalid Gender details for AADHAAR authentication.”

    But I could see that Gender details not updated in EPF site.

    Hello Sir,
    I have seeded my aadhaar no and bank account to my kyc and these ateb approved by employer as it is showing after logging in my e-sewa EPF account. But in the form submission time for claim the efp officials are denying about the aaddhaar upgraded with my UAN. It is so disappointing. Please help me what to do. I need my amount very badly.
    Yours sincerely

    My EPFO account has a minor spelling mistake. AAdhaar has Ragu while EPFO has Raghu. This extra ‘h’ makes me unable to link aadhaar through online facility. Do you think the offline facility you mentioned here (hearing it first time) will help me link aadhaar since it will be done by a real person instead of the software? I am not sure if I can change the name through my ex-employer prior to April 30 deadline.

        Offline mode will also not work in this case. You have to submit joint declaration form to EPFO office.
        Recently officers from EPFO office came to our company with Fingerprint sensor device to seed aadhar of all employees but they were unable to seed aadhar of some employee with mismatching in name and other details.
        So offline mode will not work.

    Hi Basu,

    Thanks for the informative article. I have earlier register my aadhar number in UAN portal almost 2.5 years back and I could see it reflecting under unified portal “Approved KYC” section. So I believe there is no updated needed once again from my end.

    However to my surprise, when I checked “Service History” section of Unified portal, I could see one of previous employers not listed. Unfortunately that is the employer I served for longest duration of my career. Do you know how should I go about it?

    Regards

      Koustav-If Aadhaar is already linked, then you no need to do any additional task. Whether employer’s only not listed or even the contribution related to that employer is also missing?

        I don’t think contribution is missing, it is pretty much updated. I have been punctual enough to successfully transfer my EPF from previous employer to current organization as soon as I join .

        Since this Unified portal is a new concept, it does not show my balance/passbook, rather it re-directs me to http://www.epfindia.gov.in to check for my passbook balance which is apparently not working (as I am writing this response).

        Not sure if there is a way to check the passbook balance directly in Unified portal which I could not find so far.

        Having said above, I have dropped a mail to the epf helpdesk to get their response on updating previous employer details in the portal (their toll free number is always busy).

        Incase you know any other channel to get this done do enlighten us.

        Regards

          Hi koustav,

          Please Download epf app from Android play store & sign up one time process (easy if latest mobile number is linked) .
          You can check balance (passbook) there easily.
          Note : in case if it throw any error while viewing passbook please try non business hours

            App name is EPFO, error which u may notice is “check your network connectivity”, Ensure you closed all parallel tabs related to EPFO app….
            Not to forget this is govt related app so hurdles are expexted
