The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) provides a Universal Account Number (UAN) to every PF account holder, through which they can see all the information related to their PF, but if for some reason the wrong member ID is linked to UAN, then it can cause problems.

Now EPFO has started a new facility, through which members can delink the wrong member ID themselves. For this, first log in to the EPFO member portal. Go to Service History select the wrong member ID and click on the delink option. For verification, OTP will come on the mobile number linked to the Aadhaar, after which the member ID will be delinked.

How to properly delink member ID?

If the contribution has been made by the employer on the wrong ID, then the member will not be able to delink it himself. In such a situation, the concerned employer or EPFO office will have to be contacted. This new facility of EPFO gives account holders more control over their account so that mistakes can be easily corrected.

How to delink someone else's ID linked to UAN

First login to the Unified Members Portal and submit the OTP.

After this, go to the View menu option and select Service History.

In this, find the wrong ID linked to your UAN and click on Delink.

Click OK for confirmation.

Go to the next page and select the reason for delinking.

Now two Consent boxes will appear, on clicking which an OTP will come on the mobile linked to your Aadhaar.

After this, submit that OTP. Now the delinked ID will not be visible in your service history.
