Hi, Yes, your employer needs to approve the same through the Employer login. You may just inform them.

Ok sir thank you so much, but its been more than 3 months since I have resigned, so will they approve or Is there any other way sir for getting approval.
Hello Dear,
When you add or update your PAN details in the EPFO (Employees' Provident Fund Organisation) portal, it requires approval from your employer to ensure the information is accurate. Even if you have resigned from your job, your previous employer is still responsible for verifying and approving your KYC details, including PAN, in the EPFO system. Here's what you can do:
Contact Your Previous Employer: Reach out to the HR or payroll department of the organization you have resigned from. Inform them that you have updated your PAN details in the EPFO portal and that it is pending their digital approval. Employers typically have access to the employer's EPFO portal where they can approve pending KYC requests from current and former employees.
Follow-up Regularly: If your request is not processed promptly, follow up with them regularly. It's important to communicate clearly and keep a record of your communications for future reference.
EPFO Helpdesk: If you face difficulties getting your KYC details approved by your former employer, you can seek assistance from the EPFO helpdesk. You can raise a grievance through the EPFO's Grievance Management System (EPFiGMS) available on their website.
Visit EPFO Office: As a last resort, if your PAN details are still not approved, you can visit the nearest EPFO office with your PAN card and other relevant documents. You can explain your situation and seek their assistance in getting the KYC details updated.
Remember, having your PAN linked to your EPFO account is important, especially for tax implications on withdrawals and for ensuring seamless transfer of funds if you change jobs. It's in the interest of your former employer to process such requests, as it is part of their obligation towards their employees and ex-employees.
Hope this information may be useful and helpful.
