EPF members who have recently applied for modification or correction of basic details at UAN member portal can find this status that accepted by employer pending at field office. The reason for getting this message is your basic details modification request was accepted by your employer, but it is pending at PF field office. Once it is approved by the EPF field officer then the details of EPF members will be corrected. The second case is during PF transfer.

While applying for PF transfer we need to choose either previous employer or present employer to approve it. So first your employer will approve your PF transfer request, after that your PF transfer request has to be approved by your PF office. In that case, also you will find this message.

  5. After approval of edit request in date of exit from employer of joint declaration form in epfo portal the present status is showing “field office sent your application back to employer”.what does it mean?

    Reply
    • May be the joint declaration form is not signed by your employer, so the EPFO sent it for signature.
      You can register a grievance to know the exact status.

    • Some times EPF portal shows like that, after 1 to 2 days the real status will be shown.

  11. नमस्कार गुरगाव पीएफ ऑफिस,

    मलाही तुमच्या सारख्याच समस्येचा सामना करावा लागत आहे, मी माझ्या DOB मध्ये बदल करण्याच्या विनंतीवरून ते नियोक्त्याने मंजूर केले होते परंतु ते फील्ड ऑफिस (गुरगाव) मध्ये प्रलंबित आहे.
    तुमच्या सध्याच्या परिस्थितीबद्दल काय? त्यांनी तुमची विनंती मान्य केली का? मंजूर होण्यासाठी किती वेळ लागेल?
    कृपया माझी विनंती लवकर मान्य करावी
    माझी जॉब स्टॉप झाली आहे please

    धन्यवाद आणि विनम्र,
    वानखडे रूपेश Mugutrao

    • Hi Udit,

      I’m also facing the same problem as like you recently one month before I have made changes in my name/DOB it was approved by the employer but it’s showing pending at field office (BOMMANSANDRA).
      What about your present situation? Did they approved your request? How long does it take to be approved?

      Thanks & Regards,
