What is procedure to change name in PF account and how much time it takes. I have just added last name to my name as there was none previously. I have a notarized affidavit and newspaper cutting with me as a proof of addition of last name. Will that be suffice for proof.

Dear Kumar,
You have to apply through your employer only, they have to agree that your name has been changed and entered in their records.
Attach gazette copy of such name change along with other copies as you have stated.
Submit a fresh Form 2 to avoid consequences in later stage.
Ensure that the addition in the name correctly entered in EPFO records and check the same through your Form 23 also.

One more Point in addition to Sethu. Please ask your employer to correct Form 5 as PF office always refer to Form 5 only for such type of cases

Hi, My name is Chethan Kumar PR from Bangalore, Karnataka. I am working at DEN Networks Ltd. My question is, while submitting documents, I have provided my name as CHETHAN KUMAR PR. However, when I checked my PF status through UAN No, it showed CHETAN. Now, what is the procedure to change my name to match the documents? I have already informed my employer about the issue.

Hence, I request you to please let me know the procedure to update my name in the PF records. Kindly revert to me at chethan.kumar@denonline.in.
