EPFO issues revised instructions to facilitate PF members to rectify their DOB in EPFO records

EPFO has issued revised instructions to its field offices to facilitate PF members to rectify their date of birth in EPFO records. The step was taken to extend the availability and reach of online services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The PF subscribers can submit 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.
