In a significant reform that would ease the burden on subscribers, the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has simplified the process of joint declaration on the EPFO portal by allowing employees to self-correct errors in their personal details such as name, date of birth, gender, nationality, father/ mother’s name, marital status, spouse name, date of joining and date of leaving. The corrections can be done without any verification
by the employer or approval by the EPFO.
