The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has simplified the process of seeding and correcting Aadhaar details within a member’s Universal Account Number (UAN). When a member’s name, gender, and date of birth in their UAN match their Aadhaar details, employers can directly seed the Aadhaar without needing separate approval from the EPFO. For cases with a mismatch or an incorrect Aadhaar number, employers can use a simplified Joint Declaration functionality to submit correction requests to the regional office for approval by an Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner (APFC). If an employer is unavailable or the company is closed, members can submit a physical Joint Declaration form, attested by a specified authority, to the nearest regional office.
