Employees Provident Fund (EPF) members often face this problem that when they change a job they do not know how to update the exit date in their Employees Provident Find Account. However, it is not that easy and can be done by just following a few simple steps.
EPF account holders can update their exit date online after quitting their jobs with the EPFO 'date of exit' facility on the EPF portal.
According to the retirement fund body Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), individuals can update or revise the date of departure only after two months of quitting a job. Also, it’s important to know that the date of departure is the date on which your former employer provides you with your final payment.
On July 12, the EPFO tweeted: “Employees can now update their Date of Exit on their own. To know more about this process, watch this video. Follow these simple steps to update your Date of Exit.”
