        Hi Rajendra,

        Details on the PF portal must match details on your Aadhaar Card. Before you go on and make corrections on the PF portal, please ensure that your Aadhaar card has all the correct details.

        To make changes in Aadhaar:

        You can update your Address online in Self Service Update Portal (SSUP). For other details updates such as Demographic details (Name, Address, DoB, Gender, Mobile Number, Email) as well as Biometrics (Finger Prints, Iris & Photograph) in Aadhaar you will have to visit Permanent Enrolment Center.

        To change your mobile number on EPFO, you can visit this page, enter the UAN, Captcha, and click on Forgot Password and follow the instructions. Here’s a detailed blog on how you can change your mobile number.

        Hi Shraddha,

        While seeding the details such as Name, DOB etc., it should be as per the details reported in the PF records. To get the details, you can contact your employer.

      Hi Rishabh Ranjan,

      I have followed your below instructions.
      “Visit this page, enter the UAN, Captcha, and click on Forgot Password and follow the instructions.”

      I cannot login until my password is reset and to get that done, I need to change my phone number.

      So I gave ‘No’ to the below question

      “Do you wish to send OTP on the above mobile number? : NO”

      And then it throws me below error

      “Your UAN is not linked with AADHAAR, first member has to link his/her AADHAAR with UAN through his/her employer or eKYC portal”

      And when I go to eKYC portal, I cannot login since reset is pending which is taking me to Step 1. I am in a circle now. Is there a get out pass from this situation

      Regards
      Sij

        Hi Sij,

        In order to change the mobile number, you need to select “YES” when you see the following:“Do you wish to send OTP on the above mobile number?”

        Once logging in with your UAN, you will be able to seed your KYC details such as Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details etc.

        Hi Raj,

        You can update your current mobile number by logging into the EPFO portal with your UAN and password.

        You can also submit a request for a change/correction of your name on the EPFO portal. This can be done after logging in, navigating to “Modify” and entering details as per your Aadhaar Card.

        Hi Biren

        To link Aadhaar to your UAN, log into the PF portal and upload your Aadhaar Number as part of KYC. In case you’re unable to seed your Aadhaar with your UAN, you can approach your employer for seeding your Aadhaar number as part of KYC through employer login.

        Hi Pawan,

        There is an option to change the mobile number on the PF portal. As for your Aadhaar, you can visit Aadhaar Regional Facility in order to upload your latest mobile number. Only then can you access the PF portal and avail online benefits.

        Hi CBhagwan,

        To update Aadhaar on the PF portal, employee UAN and PF Number is mandatory. You need to contact your employer to get your PF No./UAN. On the basis of the information you provide, your employee can activate and update your KYC details.
