EPF Account: If your date of birth has been entered incorrectly in your Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) account, then you can get it corrected. For this you have to put a request online. Know about this whole process:-

Document
If the difference between the date of birth recorded in the EPFO record and your correct date of birth is less than three years, then Aadhaar / e-Aadhaar will have to be submitted on the Unified Member Portal of EPFO. Only these will work.

If this difference of date of birth is more than 3 years, then along with Aadhaar / e-Aadhaar, you will also have to submit another document as proof of date of birth on Unified Member Portal.

One of the following documents should be there as proof of date of birth:-

Any certificate related to school/education

Birth Certificate issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths

Passport

Certificate based on Service Records of Central/State Government Organizations

Any credible document issued by a government department like driving license, ESI card etc.

Medical Certificate issued by Civil Surgeon after checking EPFO Member Employee

Enter online request like this

For this you have to go to https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/.

Here UAN, Password and Captcha have to be entered.

Then click on Sign-in.

After clicking on the ‘Manage’ tab in the newly opened page, click on ‘Modify Basic Details’.

Now enter the correct date of birth in the ‘Changes Requested’ section of the page that appears.

After that click on Save/Submit or Update, whichever option is there.

As soon as you click on the update, a message will appear in front of you, in which it will be written ‘Pending Approval by Employer’ i.e. waiting for the approval of this request from the employer/company.
