If you have changed jobs and are a member of Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), you can manually enter your exit date on the EPFO ​​portal.


EPFO has provided this facility keeping in view the problems of the members. EPFO has also given information about online PF transfer by issuing a frequently asked question (FAQ).

This work can be done online and its process is also very simple, but it has to be kept in mind that the UAN of the member is active. When there was no facility to update the date of leaving the job earlier, the employee had to depend on his company i.e. employer to update the exit date in the EPFO ​​system. Only the employer had the right to enter or update the date of joining and leaving the company in the EPFO ​​system. If for some reason the employee’s exit date was not updated by the employer, then the EPF withdrawal or transfer would get stuck.

You can update like this sitting at home

  • First you have to visit https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/
  • Then login by entering UAN, password and captcha code
  • Now on the newly opened page click on ‘Manage’ tab in the top section
  • After that select the option ‘Mark Exit’
  • After this the ‘Select Employment’ dropdown will open in front of you
  • In this, select the old PF account number, which is linked with the UAN
  • After this, the details related to that PAP account and job will appear on the screen.
  • Now you have to enter the exit date and reason for leaving the job
  • After this select your option and click on Request OTP
  • OTP will be sent to the mobile number linked with your Aadhar card
  • Submit the request by entering the received OTP in the specified space
  • After the completion of the process, the message of leaving the job in the PF account will appear on the screen.

Keep these things in mind

One needs to be very careful while entering the exit date in the EPFO ​​system. As per the rules, once the exit date is updated in the EPFO ​​system, it cannot be changed. Apart from this, also keep in mind that if you have left the job recently, then you will have to wait for two months to update the exit date. Explaining the reason for this, it has been said that it is related to the contribution of the employer to the PF of the employee. In such a situation, the exit date can be updated only two months after the last contribution made by the employer to the PF of the employee.

4.88 crore new employees linked to EPF

The level of formal sector employment in the country has increased with at least 4.88 crore new workers joining the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) scheme between September 2017 and November 2021. According to the National Statistical Office (NSO), at least 4.88 crore new workers have been added to the EPF scheme between September 2017 and November 2021. Also, 5.93 crore new workers joined the Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) scheme during the same period.

NSO said the figures released by it provide divergent perspectives on the level of employment in the formal sector but do not measure employment at the aggregate level. According to official data, 30.88 lakh new workers joined and contributed to the National Pension Scheme (NPS) and corporate schemes of the central and state governments during September 2017 to November 2021.

EPF is a compulsory savings scheme under the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Wherein, ESI is an integrated social security scheme designed to provide socio-economic security to organized sector workers and their dependents in case of contingencies like illness, maternity and death or disability due to occupational hazard.
