EPFO: Update your KYC information in quick easy steps, here's how 

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) requires all members to keep their Know Your Customer (KYC) information current. This is essential for smooth fund transfers, timely claim settlements, and preventing discrepancies. By regularly updating your KYC details—like Aadhaar, PAN, bank account, and mobile number—you can avoid delays and ensure your EPF contributions are credited on time.

Benefits of updating KYC:

- Quicker claim approvals and settlements

- Smooth PF account transfers when changing jobs

- Accurate interest credits and annual account statements

- Minimized chances of account mismatches

- Ensure that all information matches exactly with the documents.

Step 4: Save Your Information

- Once you've entered your details, click on the ‘Save’ button.
