How to Update KYC in EPFO

EPF KYC is the process of linking and verifying your identity and financial documents with your Universal Account Number (UAN). These verified details help the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) confirm your identity, process claims accurately, and transfer payments to the correct bank account.

Common KYC details that can be linked with your UAN include Aadhaar, PAN, bank account details, passport, driving licence, and voter ID. For most employees, Aadhaar and bank account information are essential for claim processing, while PAN is important for tax-related verification. Completing online KYC EPFO also helps maintain accurate records and supports hassle-free access to EPF services.

The key documents typically required to update various sections of KYC for EPF UAN are as follows:

Identity Proof:

• Aadhaar Card

• PAN Card 

Address Details:

• Aadhaar Card

• Passport

• Voter ID

• Driving License

• Ration Card 

Bank Details:

• Cancelled cheque containing member name, account number and IFS Code

• Bank Passbook containing member name, account number and IFS Code 

Signature:

Nomination Details:
