If you are leaving a job from a company and moving to another company, you can manually update the date in the EPF account. This work can be done online. You do not have to go to the EPFO office for this. EPFO tweeted this information. The EPFO has said that they can update the exit date of their own company online. The EPFO also released a video in a tweet telling employees how to do this. You can also update the leaving date online by watching this video.
EPFO has also given complete information about this in FAQ. According to EPFO, if you are joining a job in another company and want to transfer PF, you will need to update the EPF account before leaving the job from the old company. This date can only be updated for two months after leaving the job. You can update your EPF account on any date of the month you leave the job. This date update facility is available from the OTP received on the mobile number linked to Aadhaar.
