Linking KYC details like Aadhar number, bank account number with UAN number is mandatory to claim PF amount online, there are some cases where PF claim amount is more than 50000 Rs then you need to link your PAN number also. EPF KYC linking involves two steps they are 1. Updating EPF KYC online and 2. Approving EPF KYC details by the employer.
How to Update KYC Details Online by Employee
Step 1: To update KYC details with UAN number login to UAN member portal with UAN number and password. After login go to Manage option in the menu and select KYC option from the submenu.
Step 2:Â Now enter Bank account details like A/C number and IFSC code, Aadhar details like Aadhar number and name, and PAN number(Not mandatory for claims below 50000 Rs in less than 5 yrs of service). After adding all the details click on save.
Step 3: After saving KYC details they will appear under KYC approval pending section. Once KYC details appear under approval pending section then the work of the employee is completed. Now it is the duty of the employer to approve KYC details of employee. Let’s see how they approve employee KYC details.
How Employer Approves EPF KYC Details of Employees
Step 1: To approve EPF KYC details employer should login to employer PF portal with establishment user id and password. In home page go to Member option in the menu and select Approve KYC pending for DS. (Employer need digital signature or E sign to approve KYC details)
Step 2: Now the employer can view the list of KYC requests which are pending for approval. Employer can check those details by clicking on view option. Now click on DS KYC or esign KYC option under approve section.
Step 3: Now insert digital signature pen drive in the computer and approve KYC details of employees. Remember Digital signature will work only in Mozilla FireFox version below 48 and Google Chrome version 48. To know more details click on this link system requirements for digital signature.

If your KYC details are not approved with digital signature by your employer, then you have a delete option in your uan member portal.
Hello Rajesh,

Thanks in advance.
Hi Divya Arumugam,
This happens when your aadhaar card is not linked with your mobile number. So link your mobile number with your Aadhar card.

Hi Sir,
This is Hariharan from chennai, previously i was working in bangalore private company and then i resigned from my job and now i am not working for past 4months. Meanwhile if i update the KYC the aadhaar showing error like details mismatch and i mailed to my previous employer regarding this error but they are not at all responding for my need, so can you please suggest me that is there any process to withdrawn my amount without help of employer either in offline or online mode. Next Qns is if i withdrawn my money completely will that UAN be still active, can i use that UAN for next complany?
Hi Hariharan,
If your kyc are not updated with UAN number then it is not possible to withdraw your PF amount online. You can withdraw your PF amount offline by submitting EPF composite claim form non aadhaar along with your employer attestation. Even after PF withdrawal also your UAN number will be active, whenever you join in new organization then give that uan number to your new employer.

Hi Arun R,
It is not possible to withdraw your PF amount online when your kyc details were not updated.Either you have to transfer your previous PF amount or you can withdraw your PF amount by submitting EPF composite claim form non aadhaar, both are offline methods.
Even you update your kyc details yourself also , they have to be approved by your employer with digital signature in their employer portal.
From last 1 month i am trying to approve kyc but the same error message appears “unexpected error occurred” and then on clicking OK it return back to pending KYC, I have tired different java and mozilla firefox and different computer having xp , window 7 but didn’t succeed.

I’ve all details in my Aadhar, but still I’m facing the same error.

Hi Anita,
Please ask your employer to add your gender details in their employer PF portal.
Sir,
I resigned from my job in the month of February as I got the government job. My KYC is pending for the approvals with my employer. As in my appointment letter no terms and conditions about the notice period were mentioned so I left the job with an immediate effect. But now my employer is not ready to sign in my epf withdrawal from. I wrote letter to them regarding my KYC update as well as EPF clearance but they are not responding positively. Is there any procedure so that without employers signature I can withdraw my money? I have the copies of resignation letter and letter of requesting epf clearance with me. Kindly suggest something.
Thanking you
Raj Malhotra
@ Raj Malhotra,
If KYC were not updated then it is not possible to withdraw your PF amount without your employer signature. But if you are contributing to PF in your new job then you can transfer your previous PF amount to new PF number through your present employer. For that you need to fill PF form 13 and submit it to your present employer or you can do online PF transfer, Read the process @ https://www.hrcabin.com/transfer-pf-amount-one-company-another-company-online/
I have updated my bank account and adhar card 2 month ago but still not approved. And I call customer care but unfortunately every time shown busy so what I will do kyc for approved.
@ SK,
Your KYC have to be approved by your employer, so please ask your employer to approve your KYC details.

Ask your employer to add your gender details in PF portal, after that you can able to update you KYC details.

You have to ask your employer to correct your gender details in employer portal. After correction you can able to add your KYC details.

I get this error message, while adding my detail.

Hi Vinoth,
In some cases even the same name present in PAN card and UAN portal also this error is appearing.It may be a problem with EPFO website.
Thank you rajesh,
In UAN portal my name is “Vinoth Manogaran” and PAN card name is “Vinoth”. so how can i add my name in KYC?
Regards,
Vinoth M
Hi Vinoth,
You need to add your name as Vinoth.
Hi Rajesh,
I add my name u mentioned but i found same error as i told earlier. what can i do?
Regards,
Vinoth M
Hi Vinoth,
When name in UAN portal and PAN card are different like in your case, then we can’t able to add PAN card details in UAN portal. If you want to withdraw your PF amount then fill EPF composite claim forms and submit hard copy of PAN card.
Hi Dear sir
How to update Kyc details through online, Can you give me the simple steps , I kindly requested sir .. I am not able to claim of amount from the 5 month ..
Hi Narasimharaju KN,
You can update your KYC details in uan member portal, watch this video for complete details https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FL6BeR4Nhwg&feature=youtu.be
Dear Sir,
My employer has incorrectly entered another employee’s bank a/c number, PAN etc against my UAN on new unifiedportal for EPFO. When I pointed it out to them, they asked me to correct the details on the website and they’ll approve again. However now they are not able to approve any KYC because they’re getting the following error while trying to approve KYC with their DSC: “UNEXPECTED ERROR OCCURED WHILE SIGNING – Not supported yet”.
Can you pls suggest what could be causing the above error. My entire career’s PF amount is at risk due to someone else’s bank account number and PAN etc being linked against my UAN by employer. Please help me what to do.
@ RK,
You can delete the previously updated KYC details in your UAN member portal, Login to your member UAN portal there in KYC section you can delete those details. Once you delete those details then you can with draw your PF amount by submitting EPF composite claim from non aadhaar.
Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your reply. I have logged into member UAN portal, but I dont see any X or delete option to delete rows in Approved KYC section. Only new KYC can be added but no delete option. Do I need to open in specific browser to see that option?
If you have any videos or screenshot showing KYC deletion, please post the link. Your other YouTube videos are also very useful.
Thanks in advance
RK
Hi RK,
Usage of different browsers doesn’t solve your issue. You can try updating new KYC details again and ask your employer to approve that new KYC details.
Dear Sir,
I have tried that but EPFO site is still showing old incorrect details also. I added correct details and employer has approved them. But now the KYC is showing both old KYC (incorrect details of other employee) as well as my newly added correct details. So there are 2 bank a/c numbers (one correct, one incorrect), my Aadhaar and other employee’s PAN.
How to delete the incorrect details? That is my main issue. Please suggest something.
@ RK,
If it showing your correct details also then it is not a problem, whenever you with draw your PF amount then mention your correct details on PF claim forms, then PF amount will be transferred to your correct bank account number.
My name is not matching as per adhar with EPF.. Surname is different.. What should I do.. I have already left the organization recently and planning to withdraw the pf.. Pls advice
@ Ajeesh,
You have to submit EPF composite non aadhaar claim form but it needs your employer attestation.
Hi Rajesh,
All my kyc documents(aadhar,pancard and bank details) are approved in epf portal. But when I’m trying to click on – ONLINE SERVISE-> CLAIM(FORM 31,19 & 10C) it is showing the following error.. “”AADHAAR is not authenticated from UIDAI. Please authenticate your AADHAAR by visiting nearest EPFO office”. It would be of great help if you let me out of this problem.
Thanks in advance
@ Prathik Joshi,
Please check whether your KYC details are approved by your employer with digital signature or not.
Hi Rajesh,
All my KYC are showing under “APPROVED KYC” table. So I’m assuming they are verified by my employer.
@ Prathik Joshi,
Then I think it may be a problem with EPF portal. EPFO has to solve these kind of issues.In your case KYC was already approved so you can submit EPF composite claim form aadhaar, it doesn’t need your employer attestation.
