Thanks for all the information and its initiative. I have a problem with not being able to withdraw my PF. Request your guidance.
I’m getting an error
” Invalid Bank Account Number. Kindly update your bank account details through self mode or employer”
According to my understanding, I did 2 things and feel this can be the issue.
I changed my branch of HDFC bank account and Mobile number. ( not linked to my aadhar number)
I checked in Bank, they have NO clue.
I’m not working for more than a year now. thus I can not go to my previous employer for any updates.
Can you help in solving this issue, please?
Sir,
I have updated my name in PAN for KYC compliance as per right documents( 10th, AADHAR , DL & Voter ID) , After member profile updated by myside, i called to our present employer for approving the same in KYC , But he have told that, there is some error popping up and unable to do DSC.
Please suggest way forward
Thanks
Sir, UAN Member portal have some technical server issues from last few days. Please ask your employer to trying approving the KYC after office hours or early during the day.
Kyc approval plz
What if it’s been 8-9 yrs that I left my job and now trying to update bank details in KYC so obviously ’employer’ part will not be of any help as I am not working for long but after updating it says – “seeded by member” and “verification under process”. Who will approve this? tried with bank but they have no clue how or where to approve?
“verification under process” means bank IFSC will get auto verified by EPFO portal. Some bank’s IFSC gets auto verified and for remaining banks the verification option goes to employer. In your case wait for 4-5 days. If the bank kyc does not get updated within 4-5 days then cancel it and do the KYC again.
Hello Rohit,
In my case first it shows ” verification under process” now from last 2 days its shows ” pending with employer for digital signing” but employer could not find any entry for approval. Please suggest what to do now , I have changed my bank KYC on 22nd of June 2022
The KYC entries in employer portal should be checked in “Approve KYC seeded by member”, “Approvals” and “Approve KYC pending for DS”. Check all 3 options and still the entry is missing then delete the entry and submit the KYC again.
Mr. Rahul Kumar Deepak,
If the portal shows that your bank KYC is pending for digital signing with employer then your employer has still not approved it. Show the screenshot of the status to your employer or delete the KYC request and submit a fresh one.
Hi,
I updated my working Bank KYC in EPFO Portal. After 2 weeks I raised concern with my employer, they said they don’t have option to approve and gave a screenshot. When I lodged a grievance with EPFO, they mentioned EPFO doesn’t approve so check with employer. On Portal it shows “Pending with Employer for digital signing”. Now I am stuck whom to ask? Please advise.

co has been registered on jan 2022 but pf have to be paid for april 2021 that too of an employee who was on contract basis so how we pay that ?
If Company got eligible for EPF with effect from January 2022 then how it is liable to pay dues for April 2021 ?
If registration in EPF is with effect from January 2022 then you cannot pay EPF dues of April 2021.
I updated IFSC code under bank KYC ( SBI bank) in my EPF account, but it is showing verification under process for more than 20 days.
I approached my bank to approve, it is not appearing for approval in their system.
I verified names in my bank account , PF account, addhar and PAN , name is same in all docs.
Pls suggest to whom i can contact to resolve this at earliest.
IFSC is auto verified. Raise a grievance with EPFO. Bank will not help.
i have left my job 2 years ago and now i am not doing job . in my epfo which bank account i had seeded is now closed. in this state i had seeded a running bank account with correct ifsc code online through aadhar linked mobile number twice but employer did not approve and got rejected automatically and also i am unable to to the employer office or epfo office to tell them so they approve it. then how can i update my bank account number so that i can withdraw my pf balance online? please help me sir giving the correct way so that i can seed my running bank account and can transfer my pf balance online….
You have following options to update the bank kyc
1. Establish contact with previous employer to update the KYC. It is not a big task to the employer to approve the KYC. Hardly 5 mins it will take
2. Raise a grievance with EPFO office
3. Open a bank account with SBI or link existing SBI account if you have through OTP. It will get auto approve in 24-48 hrs without employer’s signature. (This is not trail and tested by me personally but have seen cases in past where the SBI account KYC gets auto approve)
Hi,
I am trying to withdraw my pf however i am not able to due to error that my bank account and aadhar details are not validated.. however as i checked multiple times my all kycs are properly updated and bank details with ifsc code is also updated.. however to recheck the facts i personally checked with SBI branch for their ifsc code confirmation but nothing changed… still i am not able to apply for pf.. kindly help me.. i m in urgent need
Do all the KYC again. Now you can update your KYC from member portal through One time password facility. Hence no need to approach the employer to approve the KYC requests.
How to updated the name change corrections in using DSC key in EPFO, through employer login.
First the member has to submit request from UAN login and then employer has to approve it from employer login.
Login in employer portal – members – basic change requests – tick the name of employee – sign
I want to change my post marriage name in PF. I have trying this since past 2 year online & offline both, but online there is no system of uploading supporting docs and due to Covid no one is allowed to visit PF office. Plz guide what steps needs to be taken and name change can be done.
The member portal does not give the option to download the document. Try from UMANG app. You can file a grievance or visit the EPFO department. You can explain the urgency of matter and meet the person in EDP department.
Hi Team,
I would like to know how employer can update the KYC Details of employee’s PF after the time limit.The employee resigned one year back but we(employer) had not updated the KYC Details.How can we do it now.
Thanks
Sheeja
Update it from Member Profile and approve with DSC
Approval
Sir,
I recently joined a new organisation (previously in other organisation). When I log into EPFO > KYC, it shows Aadhar KYC seeded by employer as “rejected”. My other old employer’s aadhar KYCs are “approved” though.
1. Why may have the new employer rejected the aadhar KYC?
2. Will it cause any impact afterwards?
3. Shall I ask for the reason from the employer or from EPFO helpline?
Please help..it will be extremely helpful to me.
Regards
The rejections are of two types, one portal rejects it and second employer rejects it. If the portal shows rejected by employer then you can ask the reason to your employer. If you are using the same UAN and Aadhar is linked with the UAN in your previous company then portal will not reject it.
Thank you sir for helping.. will this rejected KYC be a matter of concern while withdrawing the funds in future?
Yes it is, without Aadhar KYC you cannot withdraw funds.
Hello sir,
When I try to withdraw my PF amount online on EPFO portal it says “Aadhaar is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please seed your aadhaar kyc”. Any thoughts on this?
Update your Aadhar KYC.
Sir my aadhaar kyc is already approved by employer in my pf account. Do I need to update my aadhaar kyc again to solve the aadhaar not authenticated issue?
If you have changed the Aadhar card details or biometrics after the approval of employer then Yes you need to update the Aadhar KYC again on EPFO portal.
Thank you so much for your reply sir. Hope it solves my problem.
Dear,sir
KYC = PAN &BANK account is not verified is still pending so please help to verified
Please contact your employer for KYC approval.
My kyc not approved by employers
Follow up with them for approval. No other option.
Bank kyc under process me hai apporal company nahi kar raha kise ho ga
Sir,
my Bank KYC was approved by last employer and UAN site shows KYC approved by employer with DSC. The next day I applied for PF withdrawal and my claim got rejected saying ” Claim Rejected MAIL FROM EMPLOYER HAS NOT BEEN RECIEVED REGARDING VERIFICATION OF EMPLOYEE AND BANK DETAILS.
why this happened and what is the solution.
Kindly advise
regards
Arun
Raise a grievance with EPFO or if visitors are allowed in EPFO office then visit and meet the concern person to address this issue.
after marking exit date in PF is Dsc approval neccessary
DSC approval is not required to update the date of exit.
A simple click on approval button is required if employer updates the date of exit and If member updates the date of exit then employer approval is not required at all.
Entire system is a joke. As an employer you have to upload the request letter and then you keep waiting. you can never know when they will approve it.
I uploaded my dSc on 16th June. No response. I filled a grivance and they disposed off it with a reply to send the dsc through email. I can’t re open the ticket, can’t file ticket again under the same subject So, even after sending email there was still no progress .then Created a new grivance under a new had and the concerned officer said their portal is under upgradations and my grivance was disposed off. even after 3 more days they have not approved my dsc. and most importantly they send me a notice for default in epf.
This is how they they work. you beg them you bow down to them if they pleads they will work else even God can’t make them work
100% true. Finally when did it get approved? I am in the same situation.
Sir my kyc not approved 6 month complete school job shdi no please me sir

Yes your previous employer can update your KYC from Member profile option. But it is very unlikely your previous employer will take the trouble. Question is why is your present employer refusing to update your KYC ?
Sir please aproved karwa dijiyega employees company ko kitne se bol raha hu company aproved nahi kar rahi esliye apko mail karna pada sir please request apko ajay dwivedi
Main Govt ka person nahi hu. Main aapki KYC approve nahi kar sakta. Employer nahi kar raha to aap PF dept mai jaa ke compliant kar sakte ho.

I am working as a accountant in a company. There is a wrong KYC of a employee seeded by HR and now we have to reject it.
How to reject KYC seeded by employer?
You cannot reject the KYC once approved. Update the KYC fresh, it will overlap the previous one.
Hi, I’m trying to update my KYC for the pf account which I had when I was working with a company 7 years earlier. So will that employer be notified to approve the KYC or the candidate needs to remind him for the signature?
PF KYC
You have to remind your employer to approve the KYC as the employer doesn’t get any notification.
