If you are correcting your details online then your details on your Aadhar card should match with the details which you want to update. If your Aadhar has correct details then you can correct your PF details either online or offline by submitting PF joint declaration.
Hi,
My DOB was wrongly entered by the employer and hence j had applied for correction. The employer had approved the request but EPFO field office rejected and the reason was ‘OK’. Also, to let you know it was under rejected under 10 days time from the request generated date.
Please help me what do I do next.
Hi Shrikhla Kapoor,
Even though they have provided the online system to correct our details, still they are not doing some corrections without any proof. So it is better to correct it by submitting EPF composite declaration form with supporting documents like Aadhar or any dob proof.
Hi
I had submitted photocopy of birth certificate, passport and Aadhar.
What I’m surprised is the remark is ‘OK’ and yet rejected.
I am clueless why this happened.
Hi Shrikhla Kapoor,
Then, it is better to raise a grievance at PF portal so that you will know the exact reason for rejection.
Thank you for the response:)

Hi Imran,
Yes, you have to submit the hard copy of form 5A to your regional EPF office, but I am not sure about specimen signature card, I think it doesn’t require.
Along with Hard copy of Form5a , do i need to send supporting documents which i have uploaded or any other documentary proof further?

Yes, you have to submit the copies of supporting documents with your employer attestation.
