Updating Job History on EPFO: Do You Need to Submit Documents?

The EPFO or Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has made the procedure of updating or rectifying personal and work-related information easy. If an employee is enrolled as an EPF member who wishes to update their employment history, which accounts for their joining and concluding dates of service in an organisation, such information can be easily updated or corrected with EPFO's more simplified rules.

Members who are Required to Upload their Documents to Update their  Date of Joining and Leaving

The members who had their UANs generated before October 1, 2017, the procedure varies a little for them. In this sort of case, the updation may require an employer certification, as the older UANs might not be Aadhaar validated.

Procedure to Update the Date of Leaving in EPF

Previously, the EPF members were mandated to upload documents and avail their employer's permission in order to update their date of joining or leaving. But after following a recent modification, these updates can be directly made through the EPFO Portal without the need of obtaining employer approval (only for eligible members).
