EPFO Issues Revised Instructions to Facilitate
PF Members to Rectify their Birth Records
·
Overview
Ministry of Labour &
Employment vide Press Release id No. 1611337 dated 05th April, 2020 has
published Revised Instructions to Facilitate PF Members to Rectify their
Birth Records.
In a move to extend the availability and reach of online
services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, EPFO has issued revised
instructions to its field offices to facilitate PF members to rectify their
date of birth in EPFO records, thus ensuring that their UAN is KYC compliant.
The date of birth recorded in 'Aadhaar' will now be accepted as
valid proof of date of birth for the purpose of rectification, provided that
the difference in the two dates is less than 3 years. The PF subscribers can
submit the correction requests online.
This will enable EPFO to validate the date of birth of members
online with UIDAI instantaneously, thus authenticating and reducing the
processing time of change requests.
EPFO has instructed field offices to expedite disposal of online
requests, enabling PF members in financial distress, to apply online for
availing non refundable advance from their PF accumulations to tide over the
COVID-19 pandemic.
