The main reasons for the error is “Details of previous account are different than present account, Hence claim request cannot be processed” is your date of exit. If there is no date of exit for your previous PF account then you will get this error. Now EPF members can update their date of exit without employer help in UAN member portal.
Once you update your date of exit in PF portal for your old PF account, then mostly your problem willbe solved.
Other Reasons for This Problem
Other reasons for this error are the differences between the details present in your previous PF account and current PF account.
Generally, this problem arises for EPF accounts which have created before mandatory submission of Aadhar for PF number generation. At that time employers have generated PF numbers and UAN numbers without giving proper information of employees.
But at present every UAN number is generated based on the information present on the Aadhar card. Now this example will clear your doubt.
For example, an employee wants to transfer his PF from his previous PF account to new PF account, both have same UAN, but his previous employer entered his name as K Eswar and current employer registered him as Konuru Eswar in PF portal. So this small difference also not allow the employee to transfer his PF amount.
In the same way, the difference in date of birth, father name, gender will also cause this error.
But before confirming this problem you must check:
- Whether your KYC details are linked with your UAN number or not.
- Whether DOE (Date of Exit)Â is mentioned for your previous PF account or not.
Because the above are the minimum requirements for online PF transfer
How to Check Mismatch of Details in Previous PF Account and Current PF Account
1. If you have different UAN numbers linked to both the PF numbers then you can check your details online by login at UAN member portal and further going to profile section.
2. If your both PF account numbers are linked to same UAN then you can check only your present PF account details at UAN member portal. But you can check your name in previous PF account by downloading your PF passbook. Because you can get separate PF passbooks for all the PF accounts. But to know your other details like DOB, father details, the gender you need to contact your previous employer who created that PF account.
Solution: Details of Previous Account are Different than Present Account Problem
Here I have listed Three possible solutions, which may help you for successful PF transfer.
Solution 1: Transfer your PF amount Offline
Hence the online system is not allowing to transfer your PF amount due to the mismatch of details present in previous PF account and new PF account, you need to submit PF transfer form 13 to PF office for transferring your PF amount.
When you submit transfer form offline then these small errors will not cause any problem. PF officials manually check your details and in case of minor errors, they will ignore them and transfer your PF amount to your current PF account.
Solution 2: Withdraw PF and Pension Amount From the Previous Account
If you are in need of money, then you can avail this solution. But remember you cannot able to withdraw your PF amount online from previous PF account (If you have Two UANs then you can do that).
So, in this case, submit EPF composite claim form Aadhar or Non-Aadhar and write your previous PF account number on that and submit it to PF office along with a canceled cheque or bank passbook copy.
Solution 3: Correct your PF Details
If your previous PF account details are not correct then you can correct them by submitting the PF joint declaration. You need to write your PF number and UAN on the top side of this form and submit it to your PF office through your previous employer.
If your present PF account details are wrong then you can correct your PF details online at UAN portal or in offline by using PF joint declaration form.
After submitting this form to PF office within 30 days your PF details will be corrected. After correction, you can transfer your PF amount.

Hi team
I worked for >10 years in a company when the EPFO was not online, after that joined new company. now i saw that my old company service details are not visible in the passbook. I approached local PF office but they refused saying that they don’t have manual data now as every thing is computersied and they have obseleted the records and hence can not help. I lodged online grievence to EPFO also but no output. Due to this I will be loosing 10 year of service while getting pension at the time of retirement. How can this issue be resolved
If you have that PF account number then you can transfer the PF amount to your new PF account.
If you don’t know the PF number also then visit your previous employer to know it.
I m trying to transfer my pf account from old UAN to new UAN. Both uan name is same as per adhar card. But the pf member account name in under old UAN is pratiksha pais and new pf account name is as per adhar card pratiksha Melvin pais. My transfer claim is getting rejected with reason member name differs , father’s name differs . Pls help me what to do, as UAN name old n new both is same – pratiksha Melvin pais but the member I’d name of old pf account has middle name missing. Since UAN name is correct as per adhar, I m unable to make anymore changes. I don understand y claim is rejected If UAN names are same n matching n how do I rectify this issue of difference in pf account names. Kindly help
If you have two UANs, then it means you have two PF accounts.
You have to correct the wrong details before PF transfer.
If you are unable to correct the wrong names associated with any of your PF accounts then you have to submit PF joint declaration form and Aadhar copy to the respective regional PF office to which that PF account belongs.
Hello Rajesh,
This link was extremely helpful in resolving my long pending query.

Hi Team,
I joined ABC.com company but after 2 days immediately i left because of some personal family problem.
After some time i joined XYZ New company now i am trying to transfer PF from previous worked employer to present XYZ company but while transfer online present PF account is showing for ABC company it should show XYZ new company. I can see the DOF for ABC company .. I sent mail to employeefeddback@eofindia.gov.in regarding the same and called helpline number 1800118005 but there is no response from mail and helpline number always disconnecting. Can anyone suggest what to do in this case.d
Your XYZ company will be shown in the UAN portal after making the first payment towards EPF contribution.
Hi Rajesh,
Thank for your comment .
its been 4 months completed and i can see the XYZ company details in the UAN and passbook also. But in transfer claim its not showing XYZ ..it is showing ABC.
Maybe your date of joinings for your ABC company and XYZ company are overlapping, it should be one after the one. So pls check it, if anything is wrong then you have to correct it by submitting PF joint declaration form to your PF office.
