• EPF name change

Hi , I belong to kolkata . I was working for a Germnay Company posted in kolkata branch. In 2016 company declared bankruptcy and was taken over by another organization .My EPF account EFP account was registered with wrong DOB by my employer . My EPF is held with Barrackpore EPF Sub regional office . In 2016 I left the organization and tried to transfer my EPF to my new organization and failed to do it as my EPF DOB is wrong. I connect to old employer who took over the Gemrman organization then send me a form for joint declaration and I did my part of correction and submitted it. It seems the organization has PF in pune regional EPF office and they submit my DOB change form in pune office . This took over organization is also going to shutdown in March , 2018 . My questions are 1. Can PF office pune change my DOB . 2. In case before changing my DOB this organization also shutdown , can I wiithdraw the EPF amount of transfer it to my new account?

Yes EPF office can change your DOB but after you have to file a proper affidavit on that behalf. Yes you can transfer your EPF amount after that to your new account.

1. Execute an affidavit before the 1st class Judicial Magistrate at Barrackpore affirming that your DOB birth was wrongly recorded as some date by yopur earlier employer which is required to be corrected to the corrected date for which the EPF office of Barrackpore should make the necessary correction in their records and treat your DOB as the corrected DOB. You should also attach therewith the copy ofthe form you have submitted to your earlier emp;loyer for makingb thye said correction which was submitted before the EPF office Pune The said affidavit should also affirm that EPF Office Barrackpore should transfer your EPF amount to the EPF account maintained by your new organisation in your name.

2. On receipt of the said affirmation executed, copy of the same shall have to be sent to the EPF office at Barrackpore, your new organisation, your earlier employer who took over the German Organisation and also the EPF office Pune.

3. Based on the said affidavit which should be tactfully drafted in the form of an order, you can expect to solve your problem.

1. Short cut method along with the documents to be submitted has been advised in my earlier post.

2. If EFP office Barrackpore refuses to act based on the said affidavit, you should file a Writ Petition for the inction of EPF office, Barrackpore and Pune seeking relief.

3. Your sad problem will be solved.

First you get the wrong DOB rectified through the current company with the PF office.

If you feel that this will be unsafe you may withdraw the money from your PF account as and when you feel like withdrawing the same.

What are the documents I required produce and where do i provide details. Is there any defined process for my case.

First you approach the PF office within your jurisdiction to which the company was remitting the amount regularly.

They will guide you about the further details and in the event of approaching Pune office, you may even knock their doors for relief.

The proof of your employment, the PF account number, yor own ID proofs, birth certificate of any other documentary proof to show your correct date of birth, statement of PF which you might have received earlier.
