Hello, in this post we will discuss how to update EPFO KYC for both employers and employees.
We will cover the following:
What is KYC?
One of the significant menaces in our country’s economy is Money laundering. Even though the financial institutions and the government are on alert, illegal activities still happen. So to prevent such activities, the government had made KYC mandatory for banking or investment transactions.
Know Your Customer or KYC is a one-time process that will help banks and financial institutions to verify the identity of their customers. The customers’ identity, appropriateness, and any involvement in unlawful purposes or practices are verified.
The registration agencies need to submit a list of documents like PAN, Aadhaar, etc. to complete the KYC process for mutual fund investors. To complete this process you need KYC forms and proofs of identity as well as address.
KYC updation for employers
Step-1: Firstly, go to the EPFO website and enter your login credentials Username, and Password in the employer’s sign in and click on Sign in.
Step-2: You will be directed to the EPFO dashboard. Here go to Member Section and from the drop-down click on KYC – Bulk.
Step-3: Now upload the KYC file and click on Submit.
By these simple steps, the employer can update the KYC details.
KYC updation for employees
KYC updation is very easy and can be done in just a few steps. The documents you need to update KYC are:
- PAN

Step-1: Go to the EPFO Member Portal. Login to your EPF account using your UAN and Password and enter the Captcha.

Step-3: Updating the KYC details form will be then displayed on the screen. Here, you can fill in the details of the documents mentioned.
Tick the checkbox in front of the document that you want to update. Enter the document number, your name as per the document and also the additional details such as IFSC in case of bank details and expiry date in case of passport and driving license.
Once you click on Save, your data will be saved under the “Pending KYC” section.
Step-4: The details are then verified by the EPFO from the data of the concerned department.
Once the details matches, Verified is marked for the respective document.

Hi
I worked in my company from 2014-2017 in Mumbai. At the time of joining my employer had asked to update my Kyc in uan portal. I did the same and now when I checked it, it seems the aadhar and other details are not updated. I had updated the same in the website, but it is showing pending employer approval. I am afraid if my employer will approve. So is there is any other option to get the kyc done? Just in case if required.
Is it possible to re-update the Aadhar document verified by UIDAI? Please provide the guidance.
Thank you.
Please get the details re-verified from your employer.
Yes, you can change the bank details. Provide the bank details to your employer and they can upload and verify the same. Else. you can upload the bank details in your UAN login which has to be verified by your employer.
Make sure that your Name, DOB and Gender in your Aadha, PAN and PF account are same. Then only the authentication will be successful
Please ask the employee to contact the regional PF office or update a grievance at the PF website.
It generally takes 3 to 5 working days for the documents to be reviewed and approved.

Login to your UAN account and update the details in the MODIFY BASIC DETAILS window. On approval from EPFO, the name will be updated in your UAN.
Sir, If you have left the company for more than 2 months, then you have an option in UAN to self mark your date of leaving. Login to your UAN account and under MARK YOUR EXIT, enter your date of leaving with relevant information. This does not require any approval from the employer.
KYC details can be updated with uploading the scan copy in your UAN Account. This has to be approved by your Employer.
