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.
Ask your question about linking KYC details with PF UAN number in below comments section.
while approving the kYC seeded at the time of registration which are pending for DSC, error message NO ACTIVE DIGITAL SIGNATORY DETAILS FOUND. How to rectify this error.
Hi Sunil Kumar,
Maybe your digital signature has expired, so please check it and renewal your digital singnature.
Is it mandatory like all the KYC – PAN,Aadhaar and Bank should have the unique name ?
Hi Sowmya,
For Aadhar and PAN linking the names should match with the name present in PF portal.
But the linking of Aadhar and PAN is already done uisng the IT portal.So will this be fine ?
Hi Sowmya,
If you have already linked your Aadhar and PAN with your PF UAN number then there is no problem.
Please help me regarding following message when i try to withdraw PF
“As your service is less than five years and your verified PAN details are not available under Unified portal,Income Tax at the highest slab of 34.6% is liable to be deducted if your settlement amount crosses Rs.50,000/-.You are advised to update your PAN details before filling for Onlilne claim and also check your balance before proceeding to submit PF settlement claim.”
As my PAN is already verified by the employer and one more clarification regarding the withdrawal
settlement amount Rs.50,000/- means (employer+employee) share or else including Pension withdrawal
Need your advice please
Hi Varun,
It includes both your PF & pension amounts.
If your PAN details are present in your KYC approved section then you can claim your PF online. But I don’t know why it is still showing your PAN is not verified. So it is better to raise a grievance at PF portal
(Or)
You can claim your PF amount offline by submitting EPF composite claim form aadhar along with PAN card copy and form 15G, then no tax will be deducted. You don’t need your employer attestation on PF composite claim form aadhar if your aadhar number and bank account details are linked to your UAN number, otherwise you have to submit EPF composite claim form non aadhar with your employer attestation.
Hi Rajesh
Thank you for your response.
With in how many days it will take if I process through offline mode.
Hi Varun,
It will take minimum 15-20 days.

hi sir,
now 30 days ago I’m submitted my request but still pending my request
Hi Jomson KG,
If it has completed 30 days then it is better to visit your regional EPF office directly.
I had updated my AADHAR and PAN details in EPF account, both the documents are approved by my employer but in online verification status it is showing AADHAR is verified by UIDAI but under PAN it is showing unverified. What is the issue here? Do i get 34% deduction in tax if i withdraw PF. What is the solution for me ?
Hi Vijay Lanka,
If you are withdrawing a PF amount of more than 50000Rs within 5 years of your service then only tax will be deducted, otherwise, there is no need of PAN.
Hi Rajesh,
Can you plz help me.
My all KYC including bank details have been approved by my employer but under verification its says NA.
For online PF claim it says employer needs to verify bank details.
Hi Talha Khan,
Your employer has to approve your KYC in their employer PF portal with their digital signature. So please ask your employer to approve your KYC.

Please tell me how to verify PAN? I already updated PAN on the IcomeTaxIndia website.
Hi Ashwini Arjugade,
You need to link your PAN card with your PF UAN number at UAN member portal and it has to be approved by your employer PF portal, once your employer approves it then you can claim your PF amount.
Note: Whenever you are claiming a PF amount of more than 50000 Rs with in 5 yrs of your service then tax will be deducted from your PF amount. In order to get tax exemption you need to link your PAN with your UAN number.
Sir it is already approved but not verified
Hi Sir,
When I claim for PF withdraw it says that “your verified PAN details are not available at unified portal”.
Can you please tell me how to update this?

Hi Ashwini Arjugade,
You can link your aadhar number with your UAN number here https://iwu.epfindia.gov.in/eKYC/LinkUanAadhaar, it doesn’t need your employer’s approval. Fore more details read this.
Sir, I have 3 UAN numbers because previously I worked with those companies.One of them my account was inoperative. that UAN number is 100441473246. Here while I try to upload aadhar document it gives error “gender mismatch” also DOB and gender like information is not available for this UAN number.Should I need to contact employer?
Hi Ashwini Arjugade,
It happens when your data misses in PF portal, so you need to contact your employer and tell them to add your missing details in their employer PF portal.
Hi,
My Aadhaar details are reflecting under Approved KYC so that means my aadhaar details has already been updated. When can i expect the PF amount to be transferred into my BANK ACCOUNT.
Please drop me an email regarding the same if possible.
Hi Kshitij Gupta,
Your aadhar details are already updated so please apply for online transfer at uan member portal, within 15-30 days your PF amount will be transferred to your present account.
I have already given all the documents to my employer on my last working day. Aadhaar Number has just been linked on 10th of November. So I was just curious to know when the money can be transferred to my bank account. Like in how many working days.
@kshitij Gupta,
Within 20 days from the date of submission of PF claim forms to PF office your claim will get settled.
thanks for your help.
i can’t update my Adhar.
Adhar name and PF account name different. How can i update adhar
Hi Jomson KG,
You need to correct the incorrect name details either in Aadhar card or EPFO portal. To correct your name in aadhar card visit your nearest aadhar enrollment center, to correct your name in EPFO portal submit EPF joint declaration form to PF office.
I updated my Aadhar no on UAN portal 4 months ago and it is still pending for approval. I asked my company PF vendor and they stated that its pending for digital approval. Is it right that a technical issue can persist for more than three months. From where I can get the right information or any other way to get aadhar no in system?
Hi Ravi,
At present there are no technical issues, PF sites are working fine. it is the responsibility of your employer to approve your kyc with their digital signature. So pls ask them to approve.

Hi Akhilesh Singh,
It is a server issue, you can try in another browser or another system.
I uploaded my Aadhar in KYC. My employer also approved it. Now my aadhar is displayed in Approved list. There is a button to verify it. When I click on the verify button, the following error is thrown. “Error While verifying Aadhar. Try Again Later. ” and sometimes it shows “Aadhaar authentication failed. AADHAAR number, Name, DOB or Gender mismatch with registered data”
Please suggest
Hi Vinay,
It is not a problem, but if you want to verify your Aadhar then visit this link Verify Your Aadhar Card
