If your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) account contains incorrect personal details, such as your name, date of birth or other information, you can now request corrections online through the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation's (EPFO) Joint Declaration facility.

In a post shared on social media platform X on November 7, EPFO explained how members can use the facility on the EPFO Member Portal to correct errors in their records in five simple steps.

How to correct details in your EPF account in 5 steps

EPFO has advised members to ensure that their records are accurate and up to date. Correct details in EPF records can help avoid complications while accessing account-related services and processing claims.

Of the total grievances resolved, 2,02,984 were settled through EPFO’s in-house grievance redressal portal, EPFiGMS, exceeding the target of 1,80,000 by 12.8%.

A further 33,037 grievances were resolved through the Centralised Public Grievance Redress and Monitoring System (CPGRAMS), surpassing the stipulated target by 32.1%.

The platform will also offer personalised guidance and assistance to members in fulfilling requirements related to the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PMVBRY).

The move is expected to make routine EPFO services more accessible through a familiar mobile platform, while reducing the need for subscribers to visit EPFO offices for basic information and assistance.
