Sir, I recently joined a new company and submitted claim to EPFO. However, EPFO has rejected my claim submission for this reason "member with date of joining in EPF as 15.7.2003 and date of exit as 17.5.2005 whereas date of joining in EPS is given as 1.7.2007 and date of exit under EPS is updated as NIL." How can I get this corrected? Please advise.

Ans: To rectify the discrepancy in your EPFO and EPS records, you'll need to follow these steps:

1. Gather Documents: Collect supporting documents that verify your employment details, including:
o Appointment letter or joining letter
o Salary slips for the relevant period
o PF contribution statements
o Any other relevant documents that verify your employment tenure

2. Submit Correction Request: Visit the EPFO regional office where your Universal Account Number (UAN) is registered. Carry the supporting documents and submit a correction request form, clearly stating the discrepancy and providing the correct dates of joining and exit.

3. Attach Documents: Attach self-attested copies of all supporting documents to the correction request form. Ensure the copies are clear and legible.

4. Submit Form and Documents: Submit the completed correction request form along with the attached documents to the EPFO officials. They will review the request and supporting documents.

5. Verify Correction: After processing your request, EPFO will update your records accordingly. You can check the status of your correction request online through the EPFO Member Portal.

6. Seek Clarifications: If you face any difficulties or delays in the correction process, contact the EPFO grievance redressal mechanism for assistance.

Please remember to provide accurate and verifiable information to expedite the correction process.
