To financially secure the retirement of employees, the government runs the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) scheme. In this, every month the employee and the company deposit an equal amount. The government pays interest on this amount every year.
Employees can also withdraw the amount deposited in their PF if needed. Many times, if the wrong information is inadvertently included in the PF account like the wrong spelling of name, date of birth, or other information, then there may be difficulty in withdrawing money from PF. In such a situation, changes can be made in it. Today we will tell you how many times you can update your information in your PF account.
