EPF account: Here's how to register or update phone number, email

When it comes to EPF accounts, a correct/updated mobile number will aid in the provision of services such as nomination filing, withdrawal claims connected to Covid-19, and any other purpose. 

New Delhi: Whether you have a regular bank account or an Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) account, it is critical that your mobile number and email address be registered or updated. If not, using services and filing claims may cause problems, causing some items to be delayed.

When it comes to EPF accounts, a correct/updated mobile number will aid in the provision of services such as nomination filing, withdrawal claims connected to Covid-19, and any other purpose. This is due to the fact that a one-time password (OTP) is provided to the registered mobile number. Similarly, an accurate Email ID can assist EPFO in reaching out for any contact.

According to EPFO, "Dear Member, Please double-check your mobile number in your profile for account security. If it is not yours, please update it with your own phone number, preferably your Aadhaar-linked phone number. This available mobile is used for forgotten passwords, PF balance inquiries, and employer contribution payment alerts."

Here’s a step-by-step guide to update the mobile number and email ID in EPF account:

Step 1: Log in to your account on the Member Sewa site by entering your UAN and password.
