Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) members can now update their date of departure from a firm utilizing the online portal. This functionality enables employees to change the date of exit in their EPF account quickly. There are, however, a few conditions to bear in mind.

Individuals can change the date of leave only after two months after quitting work, according to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO) FAQs. It’s also vital to understand that the departure date is not fixed, but it might be any day of the month. It is usually the day your prior employer sends you your final payout.

“To use this facility, employees must ensure that they have activated their UAN (Universal Account Number),” explains Amit Gupta, Managing Director of SAG Infotech. After that, connect it to a confirmed Aadhaar number and get the one-time password (OTP) for verification.”
