EPFO UAN: How to Change Name/DOB for UAN?

Why is it important to update EPF UAN details?

Updating one’s name, date of birth, Aadhaar, bank account, PAN and address etc. is important because an EPF account with wrong details can hamper the process of claims.

Also, if the KYC is not complete against one’s EPF UAN, making any EPF claims will not be possible. Such claims will either be rejected or be kept on hold till the required updates are not furnished.

Along with this, it is of utmost importance to seed one’s Aadhaar with their UAN. Without this, i.e. the linking of Aadhaar with UAN, EPF contribution will be deducted from the salary but won’t be credited to the respective EPF account.
