EPFO: The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has recently made a major change in the rules for Provident Fund transfer. As per the instructions of January 15, 2025, now members can transfer their PF account online in certain cases, that too without the approval of their old or new employer.
These reforms will make it simpler than ever to claim transfer online, reducing delays and making the process more effective. This initiative has been taken especially to provide relief to employees changing jobs. Now this process can be completed with the help of Aadhaar and other required documents.
Employees can now self-correct errors in their personal details such as name, date of birth, spouse’s name, marital status, nationality, gender and date of employment through the EPFO portal.

1. Link UAN with Aadhaar: Your Universal Account Number (UAN) must be linked and verified with Aadhaar.
2. KYC: Your account details, like Aadhaar, PAN and bank account, must be verified in the EPFO system.
