This can happen when you switch from the previous organisation to the new organisation or while withdrawing money from their PF account after leaving an organisation. If you have also tried to withdraw or transfer EPF money but were unable to, there are few things you need to do differently.

These difficulties can arise due to differences in name, father’s name, date of birth, PAN/Aadhaar details etc mentioned in the EPF account in comparison to what is mentioned in the ID documents.
