How to correct name discrepancies between EPFO and Aadhaar in India?

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) portal is an online platform where employees can manage their provident fund accounts, including updating personal details.

Aadhaar is the unique identification number issued by the Indian government, widely used to verify identity across various government services, including EPFO.

If an employee’s name on the EPFO portal does not match the name on their Aadhaar card, it can cause difficulties in processing contributions or withdrawals. To resolve this mismatch, employees need to take the following steps:

  1. Log in to the EPFO Portal:
    Access your account on the official EPFO portal.

  2. Submit a Joint Declaration:
    Use the option on the portal to upload a joint declaration requesting the correction of your name.

  3. Inform Horizons Support:
    After submitting the declaration, notify the Horizons support team by sending an email to support@joinhorizons.com.

  4. Approval by Horizons:
    Horizons will then proceed with the approval of the change request on the EPFO portal.


This process ensures that your EPFO records align with your Aadhaar details, helping to avoid future issues with your provident fund.
