The Employees Provident Fund Organization i.e. EPFO looks at the PF accounts and related things of the employees working in India. When you do a job, a fixed amount is deducted from your salary every month which is deposited in your PF account. Also, your company deposits the same amount in your PF account. At the same time, while opening a PF account, you have to give much of your information, one of which is your date of birth, but if for some reason the wrong date of birth has been updated in your PF account, then you can correct it.
