The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has implemented software for the online submission of changes to KYC details.

A proper KYC and matching member profile facilitates EPFO in providing instant services like auto settlement of advances, auto transfer of PF account, e-nomination, etc. to the member without the need for any physical visits to any office.

Presently, around 7.5 Crore members are actively contributing to the Provident Fund, Pension & Insurance Schemes each month.

In the first 2 months of this Financial Year alone around 87 lakh claims had been settled in the form of social security benefits like advances for housing, post-matriculate education of children, marriage, illness, final Provident Fund settlements, pension, insurance, etc.

The members claim these benefits online which has been made possible through a robust computer software application, which validates the data of the member in the Universal Account Number (UAN).

Therefore, the consistency of the data of the member in the records of the EPFO is of paramount importance to ensure that the services are provided online seamlessly and to the correct member duly avoiding any risk of erroneous payments or frauds.

The integrity of the data in the Member Profile is thus being ensured by a Standard Operating Process (SOP) issued by the EPFO on 22nd August 2023.

It has now been operationalized by EPFO in a digital online mode. The members may request for change/rectification in the Member Data like Name, Gender, Date of Birth, Parent Name, Marital Status, Nationality, Aadhaar, etc online and upload the relevant prescribed documents.
