Hi, can anyone suggest to me what to do if an employee's name is different in their PF account compared to their bank salary account? Opening a bank account under the name listed in the PF account is not possible as the employee lacks ID or address proof with that name.
Kindly advise on alternative solutions to facilitate the employee's claim process.

Dear Kishore,
What you have attached is good, but here the employee's name is entirely different.
Name as per Bank Account is: Korukonda Raju
Name as per PF Account is: Sashiraj
This difference occurred because all employees used to call him by his pet name rather than his actual name, and the same has been updated in the records and processed.
What to do in such a case....!?

I think you should make an affidavit mentioning both the names and stating that both persons are of the same identity. Do this in consultation with a lawyer. This affidavit will work for all accounts, and as per my knowledge, banks also have some sort of forms for the correction of names and other personal details.
I hope this may solve your problem. Henceforth, be very particular about your full name and other personal details.

Dear Vishwanathsavula and Bablu,
What Yaasmin said is correct. An affidavit is the only process to claim your PF, mentioning that you are an individual with two names as per employment records and as per PF records.

I can't download the document. I am also facing the same problem - a name mismatch in my PF account and bank account. My name is LOGA PRIYA, but it was wrongly entered in my PF account as LOK PRIYA. As a result, I am unable to claim. Kindly suggest a solution as I am in need of money now.
