What is your preferred name? If THALAKKAL VEETIL SUNOJ is your preferred name, submit Epf joint declaration form for name correction through your employer. After name correction, you can link PAN to UAN.
If T V SUNOJ is your preferred name, correct PAN Card and then link PAN to UAN Number.

Yes, you can update as you prefer but you must produce supporting documents like aadhar. Pan will be authenticated with aadhar for name and date of birth match. So, you can update your pan name as per aadhar.

Kindly help how to transfer my of amount.
Thanks
Radha Mohan - Admin says
May 4, 2019 at 9:22 pmHello Karun,
Recently Supreme court has announced that employees with basic pay more than Rs.15000 is also eligible for PF Pension. If that ruling is implemented, you will be able to transfer or withdraw the funds in your EPS account. You can also contact Epf Twitter : https://www.twitter.com/socialepfo/ Epf Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/socialepfo/ for further enquiry.

May 5, 2019 at 7:53 amDear Radha,
Thanks for your support!Can I also ask my previous employer to transfer the EPS contributions to EPF employer contributions using joint declaration form to facilitate the EPF transfer to the current employer if I’m not eligible for EPS scheme with the Basic pay of greater than RS 15000 and can my employer change the settings in EPFO portal to bring in all the EPS contributions to EPS. Please support on this regards.
With regards
S.Karun Prasanna
Radha Mohan - Admin says
May 5, 2019 at 4:33 pmHello Karun,
EPS amount can be transferred to new employer eps account only. As i said in earlier comment, you will be eligible for EPS pension even with basic pay greater than Rs15000/- if SC verdict is implemented.
Joint declaration is not used for funds transfer. It is just a PF Correction Form.

May 9, 2019 at 6:44 pmI want to correct my Father’s name on the PF account. In the Joint Declaration form, should I fill all the fields in the Correct column and update the corrected Father’s name in the Wrong column? Or in the Correct column also, i should only enter the Father’s name and leave all other fields blank? If I leave all the other fields blank in the Correct column, how will they understand for which PF number i am trying to correct the Father’s name?
