Changed Salary Bank? Update EPFO Now to Avoid PF Withdrawal Headaches!

• If your salary bank account changes, update it with EPFO immediately to ensure smooth provident fund withdrawals.
• EPFO sends PF money to the bank account linked to your UAN; a closed or inactive account can cause claims to bounce.
• Log into the EPFO Member e-Sewa portal to check and update your bank details, Aadhaar, and PAN for exact matches.
• After submitting new bank details, your employer's approval is required; follow up with HR if the update is stuck.
• Updating your bank account proactively saves weeks of frustration and delays when you need to withdraw PF money.
