The Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme aims to provide financial security to employees during retirement through consistent contributions from both employers and employees.
Updating EPF KYC online involves visiting the EPFO portal, logging in to the UAN (Universal Account Number) Member Portal, accessing the KYC update section, inputting necessary details, and obtaining approval from the employer.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, established under the Indian Trusts Act of 1882, aims to provide employees with financial security during retirement through consistent contributions from both employers and employees. Currently, the scheme is overseen by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
Within this framework, employees allocate a portion of their salary to their PF account, which becomes accessible upon retirement, resignation, or, in the event of the employee’s demise, to their family.
Given the escalating concerns surrounding online fraud and security breaches, EPFO now mandates that all employed individuals update their KYC (Know Your Customer) details.
Alongside promoting adherence to regulations, updating the EPF KYC will streamline transactions and expedite claim settlements, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and efficacy of the EPF system. Below is a comprehensive step-by-step guide outlining the process of updating your EPF KYC.

Updating EPF KYC has become easy with the availability of online platforms. Below is a detailed guide outlining the process for updating your KYC for EPF:
Once KYC documents are successfully submitted on the UAN EPFO portal, approval of the KYC details is required either from EPFO officials or the employer. Typically, it is the employer who approves KYC requests. However, if the employer fails to do so, you can seek assistance through the EPF Grievance Portal.
This approval process usually takes between three to five working days. You can monitor the status of your KYC approval online by selecting the ‘KYC pending for approval’ option on the portal. For any technical assistance, feel free to reach out via email at [email protected].
