How to Change the Date of Joining in EPF by Employer Online

Changing the date of joining online by both employer and employee is not possible. If by mistake employer updates the wrong date of exit then they need to submit PF joint declaration form to their PF regional office along with a request letter on the company letterhead.

EPF members can correct their name, date of birth, and gender details only online by using their UAN number.

To correct the date of joining or date of exit they should fill below PF joint declaration form ( PF date of joining change form)

PF Date of Joining Correction Using PF Joining Declaration Form

  • On PF joint declaration form you can see a field called the date of joining, here enter the correct date of joining and also the wrong date of joining.
  • After filling this form take the signature of the employee and employer and submit it to the PF office along with a request letter from the company to the PF office.

  1. Sir,
    I am working in APSRTC as a Conductor. Actually I joined in the corporation on 10.03.2000 as a casual Conductor. My PF contribution is started with this month. But I regularized as a conductor on 05.10.2007. In our PF trust the corporation is showing 05.10.2007 as date of joining. Actually I joined in 2000, they are showing in 2007. Why? is there any possible to change the date of joining as appointed date. What is actual rule for joining date? Please give reply.

    • The date on which your first PF contribution was made is your joining date.
      If your PF passbook shows PF contribution since 10/03/2000 then that will be your joining date.
      You can correct date of joining by submitting PF joint declaration form to the PF office.

  2. I joined a company A on 4th Nov,2019 and Absconded it on 22nd Nov, 2019. I joined company B on 27th Nov, 2019. My PF UAN account for A started on 5th Nov and company B started on 27th Nov. I did not received any salary from company A nor any PF in my account. Company A dropped me an email on 4th Dec, 2019 mentioned my absence and they marked my DOE for 5th Dec, 2019. Now I am joining company C and during BGV they are finding Dual Employment and due to that my offer is on hold. Company B is not ready to change the date. Can someone please help me to resolve this and avoid any issues in future. Thank you in advance.

    • If your company is operating their business right now then EPFO will definitely ask you to get approved by them.
      If your employer doesn’t support then register a complaint on the EPF grievance portal, they will contact your employer on behalf of you.
