Myself Alpesh Patel,
In the EPF office, my birthdate is mentioned incorrectly, with the day and month interchanged. I have informed my HR department many times, but they are not taking it seriously.
1. My question is, how can I correct my birth date in the PF office without the help of my employer?
2. Will any queries be raised in the future regarding the birthdate at the time of PF withdrawal?
Thank you.

Dear Alpesh,
Your employer cannot correct details in EPF by themselves. For the correction of DOB, please follow the steps below:
a) Submit a letter addressed to your employer and CC to EPFO informing them of your PF number, current DOB as on records, and the correction required in DOB.
b) Please submit a self-attested copy of your Aadhaar and PAN card (best documents to provide).
c) Submit one original to your employer and take their acknowledgment sign and stamp. In the employer's letter, also add that you want the employer to submit the letter for the correction of DOB to EPFO.
d) Submit one original to EPFO and state that you have submitted a copy to your employer as well. Attach the acknowledgment copy of the employer.
Furthermore, your employer has to submit a letter to the EPFO stating that Mr. Alpesh has requested a correction in DOB, and the company also confirms the documents are correct and would like the EPFO to carry out the correction. They will need to attach your letter with documents and sign and stamp all pages with the company stamp/sign and then submit to EPFO.
After this, it would be prudent for you to get a copy of this letter and keep it for your records. Additionally, regular follow-up with EPFO is required.
Hope this helps.
