How to Update KYC in EPFO?

To access the online PF services if you're an EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) member, your PF account should be KYC compliant. You will be unable to use internet services like making withdrawal requests, nominating people, transferring accounts, etc. if your account isn't verified. I came to know this just a few months back, so that is why I will tell you the process of

EPFO KYC update in complete detail.

How to update KYC in EPFO?

The Know Your Customer (KYC) process is a one-time operation that aids in the identification of members by connecting the UAN (Universal Account) with KYC information. The KYC information consists of data on bank accounts, Aadhaar, PAN, as well as other significant information. All of these specifics must be true and current. Additionally, the EPFO will refuse any online requests you submit for withdrawal, account transfers, and other items if your account does not adhere to KYC criteria. Therefore, the KYC in the PF account needs to be updated in order to access these online services.
