Standard Operating Procedure notified on joint declarations for updating member profile on EPFO online portal

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) issued a circular on 23 August 2023 notifying the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on processing the joint declarations for updating the member profile on the EPFO online portal. 

The SOP is issued to streamline the process for receipt of joint declaration for updating/ correction in the Universal Account Number (UAN) records by the member/employer and the process to be followed by the Regional Provident Fund offices for processing the same. The SOP would help reduce the anomalies in the member profile which lead to rejections/failures/ frauds as well as difficulties for members in claim settlement.

Please refer the PDF below for some of the key aspects of the SOP.
