SOP for processing Joint Declaration of member profile updation

Further to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization notifications dated 23^rd August 2023 and 11^th March 2024, EPFO has now issued an updated SOP, dated 26^th March 2024.

You are requested to go through this content and educate your employees accordingly.

This communication is with respect to Employee Profile Data on the member portal of the Provident Fund. If there are corrections to be made to an employee profile, the employee should fill out a joint declaration form. This form is a combined form for employees and employers. Employees will have to update the correction on the portal along with documentary evidence. Upon submission of the online form, this would be reflected in the employer portal for verification and approval. Post the approval from the employer, a request would be placed with the PF office for corrections.

It is necessary to have the correct details in the member profile for the Provident Fund to ensure seamless online processing of partial withdrawals, transfers out and settlements.
