Which information can people update?
Under the changes in the new rules of EPFO, people can update their personal details. In which their name, D.O.B, parents’ name, marriage status, partner’s name, gender, nationality etc. can be updated without submitting any document.
Which people will get this facility?
This information has been given by EPFO, this will provide convenience to those people who wanted to update their personal details. Earlier this process used to take up to 28 days.
Earlier, to update, people had to get their documents verified by the employer and generate a request, which took a lot of time and many requests remained pending.
With the coming of the new policy, people will get relief and the work of those who have verified with Universal Account Number (UAN) Aadhar card will be done in no time.
Linking Aadhar and PAN card is very important
With the coming of the new policy, about 45 percent of people can update their personal details immediately. However, those beneficiaries will have to link their Aadhar card and Pan card with EPFO account. This will make it easy for them to update their personal details.

The remaining 50 percent work can be done by EPFO after approval by the designated employer.

the number of requests that are pending. For this, members will have to link their Aadhar Card and Pan Card with their Universal Account Number (UAN).
