It’s now simpler to update your personal information in your EPF account. Members with Aadhaar-verified Universal Account Numbers (UANs) may now update their profiles without having to worry about submitting papers thanks to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization’s (EPFO) simplified procedure.
Simplified Profile Updates
In the past, employer verification was required to update your EPF profile, which could have caused delays of up to 28 days. However, if your UAN is connected to your Aadhaar, you may now easily edit several facts, such as your name, date of birth, gender, nationality, parents’ names, marital status, spouse’s name, joining and departing dates, and more.
It’s crucial to remember that any changes to your profile will still need employer permission if your UAN was granted before October 1, 2017. To prevent delays in approvals or withdrawals, make sure your Aadhaar and PAN are connected to your EPF account as well.
Benefits And Impact
With EPFO reporting that about 45% of modification requests can now be self-approved, it is anticipated that this program would assist a sizable portion of EPF members. For EPF members, this simplified procedure guarantees data correctness, lowers mistakes, and makes the process more effective and user-friendly.

To make changes to your EPF profile online, simply follow these steps:
- Step 1: Go to the Unified Member Portal on the EPFO website (www.epfindia.gov.in).
