My name was misspelt by the employers over 20 years back in my EPF account as Rambabu Shastri, whereas it should have been Rambabu Gopinath Shastri. How can I get the middle name added to the EPF account?

  • Dear Amandeep Gill,
    You can receive an acknowledged application mentioning the wrong & correct name against your PF Account Number with a copy of ID card, PF Slip & Annual Return. But the name would change only at the time of withdrawal. You need to attach same inward copy of application with withdrawal forms.

  • Hi,
    My previous employer entered an invalid date of birth when creating my PF account and now the employer is no longer available as the company was taken over by another company.
    I want to correct my DOB but the process says that they need a letter from the employer. What do I do in this case?
    Thanks and best regards,
