Members whose provident fund records carry mistaken personal particulars, such as a misspelt name or an incorrect birth date, can now seek amendments over the internet. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) offers this through its Joint Declaration service.
In a November 7 post on X, the retirement body laid out a five-part process for rectifying inaccuracies via its Member Portal.

The process
Sign in: Open the Member Portal and enter your Universal Account Number (UAN) along with your password. Open Joint Declaration: Locate that option inside the portal. Pick the fields: Mark which personal or job-related entries need changing. Supply accurate data: Type in the right information and attach the papers that back it up. Send it in: Check what you have typed, then forward the request for processing.
The organisation urged members to keep their records precise and current, since accurate entries can prevent hassles when using services tied to their accounts and when claims are handled.
Complaints cleared Separately, a statement from the Labour Ministry says EPFO resolved 2,36,021 public complaints during Special Campaign 6, which ran for a month in October 2026. The goal had been 2,05,000, so the result was 15.1% higher.
Of that total, 2,02,984 were handled through the body’s own portal, EPFiGMS, against an aim of 1,80,000, a margin of 12.8%. Another 33,037 were dealt with via CPGRAMS, beating the mandated goal by 32.1%.
Services on WhatsApp Subscribers can also now see their PF balance, their last five transactions and their passbook through EPFO’s authenticated WhatsApp channel. The channel will additionally give tailored help with meeting conditions linked to the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojana (PMVBRY).
