Sir,

This office is in receipt of various references from offices requesting therein to impart guidelines on mismatch of date of birth and difference in spelling in pensioners name noticed while auditing the Jeevan Pramaan Report.

2. In such cases pensioners/members may be advised to correct either their details provided to EPF Offices or to correct the details given in Aadhaar. An appropriate action needs to be taken if there has been any deliberate suppression/misrepresentation of facts.
