Many of the employees the biggest headache was to make sure that their past employers enter the proper date of exit in EPF records. To solve this problem EPFO recently launched a facility to update EPF date of exit online without an employer.
Note:-Now you can raise an issue related to your EPF issues using the EPFO Whatsapp numbers. For details, refer the post “EPF Whatsapp Helpline Numbers – Full list of Regional Offices“.
From now onwards employee can update his date of exit (DOE) in the UAN website without the help of an employer after 2 months of leaving the job.
Before proceeding further, first, you have to understand the terms and conditions to enter the date of exit in UAN.
# The date entered is NOT EDITABLE and in case you have entered a wrong date enormously then it can be corrected only by the concerned filed officer of EPFO on the basis of a written request of the employer to the office. The date of exit, however, can not be edited after the settlement has been taken.
# In case you have entered the date of exit and withdrawn the amount, then the service length under the schemes will lapse and on any subsequent employment the service length will start afresh for any eligibility for pension and advances.
# Please note that the date of exit entered by you will be displayed to the employer and in case you are still in employment then at the time of filing of the remittances for a period after the date of exit will be shown to the employer.
# Date of exit can be a month for which the last contribution has been received. In case the employer has defaulted in payment and your date of exit is later date then you to approach the employer for updating of date.
Now let us understand the process of update EPF date of exit online without employer.
# Login to your UAN member portal. Then go to the menu “MANAGE” and from the dropdown select the “Mark Exit”.
# Once you select the “Mark Exit”, then a new window will open. Here, you have to select your employment (your last EPF Account No.).
# You have to enter the date of exit in two places. You no need to enter the exact date of exit. You can enter the date within 15 days after the date of leaving of job.
Check the last contribution month in the online passbook and identify the latest Provident Fund contribution month. Accordingly, you have to enter the date of exit.
Suppose your contribution to EPF Passbook is showing up to the month of December 2020, then you have to enter the last date of that particular month i.e. 31st December 2020 should be your exit date.
Then you have to check the box “I have read the below points carefully”. Then proceed for the entry of date of exit.
Do remember that you have to mention the reason for the date of exit also. The reasons listed are as below.
-Retirement- When the employee takes voluntary retirement
-Superannuation-After completing 58 years of age
-Permanent Disablement-When permanent disablement happens to EPF member
-Cession (Short of Service)-When you resign your job.
Once you enter the exit date, provided the reasons and check the box where it will show you the terms and conditions, then click on the tab “Update date of exit”.
# Click on “Request OTP”. You will receive OTP to your registered mobile number. Enter the OTP and submit for date of exit finally.
I hope this process will ease the biggest hurdle of many EPF members as due to many reasons (one may be employer closed the shop) employer not enter the date of exit. Due to which you are facing the trouble of transferring or withdrawing.
Do remember few things:-
You are allowed to update the date of exit only after the completion of 2 months from the last contribution done to your EPF account. Also, once you enter the date of exit, then you can’t change it. Hence, be careful while entering it.

As per resignation acceptance letter from my old employer my last working date is 23th feb 2025 , however my old employer contribute the December 2024 amount in Jan 2025, for the Jan and Feb amount has not been contributed yet.
Ques 1. If they didn't contribute in my pf account for Jan and Feb amount could you let me know when will I get the option to update my exit date in pf and can I update 23th feb as a exit date?
Ques2 If they contribute my Feb amount in April month when will I get option to update my exit date in epfo portal, will I get option to update my exact exit date as 23th feb 2025 in that case ?
Ques 3 If my old employer update wrong exit date can I change it using mark exit date through epfo portal?
Or will epfo office will accept my last working date as my exit date as I only have resignation acceptance letter as a proof ?
Thank you if you could help me with these questions.
Dear Ravi,
Better to update when your employer credit the dues.
I left the previous organization on 2018, I am not sure whether the last working date is November month or October month 2018, but in EPFO portal , I could see the last contribution month is October. So what date should I give as exit date, also I am not able to select any other month, it is showing only October month in the drop down. After that I was doing course and joined next company after 8 months only.
Dear Manoj,
Choose October month.
Dear sir ,
My last working day was 9 sep 2022 and my company deposit the amount as Full and final in month of October 2022 to my epfo and they didn’t marked the exit too and after some time I marked the exit as 15 oct 2022 as last deposit in epfo by my previous employer in that month and joined a company on 12 sep 2022 now epfo exit date of previous company is overlapped with the day of joining in anew company … now my current company considering it as a case of moonlighting and I don’t know what to do ……I could remember even marking the exit day I was only getting October 2022 as my employer made last contribution in that month .
Could you please consult me on this issue or any way to reach you out for help
Dear Guulbhar,
Approach your current employer and explain the same and send request through them to EPFO to modify the exit date.

But now seeing he marked that and its showing Login has been disabled as reason of exit is death. I dont know how my details gone to him . I raised EPFO complaint in portal there they disable the employer login details . But here is the problem is im unable to login my account till now.. can you please suggest me what to do
Dear Ushakiran,
I think better immediately you visit the regional EPFO.
Hi My Employer didnt respond to my request of releasing the PF amount for even years. After so much rigorous follow up, I could eventually get a letter from them named as annexure K, while thats a hard copy scan of some official stamp on it, but once i logged in to see the transfer details, they had messed it and there were wrong details in it. this is the period of 2013-2014. at that time there was no such online facilities and also the awareness was poor. There contribution is also not updated and hence the protal is not allowinhg my to get the DOE entered.
they have eaten all my money and till date i couldnt do anything
My last working day was 30 sep 2021 but later employer did contribution for next 3 months And added exit date as 30 dec 2021. But now when I tried to correct it then I got that employer is not exist now. And now I want to correct exit date then what should I do?
Trying for pf transfer as well , portal saying that employer don't have digital signtory authority. So what should I do?
Dear Kiran,
You can't set the date as 30th Sept as the last contribution was 30th Dec.
