Are you a subscriber of the Employee Provident Fund (EPF)? Do you need to correct any mistakes in your PF account details, or would you like to update your personal information? If so, this article is for you.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) now offers an accessible online facility for changing PF account details.
In the past, employees had to fill out a Joint Declaration Form provided by their employer and submit it to the EPFO office to make changes to their EPF account details.
However, this process has been simplified, and you can now update your PF account information online without needing any forms.
Specifically, EPF subscribers can change 11 personal details through this online process. Here are the details you can change:
Details You Can Change Online:
