Hello Dear,
If your company is refusing to provide a joint declaration form to correct or change your date of joining in the EPF (Employees' Provident Fund) records, there are still steps you can take to address the issue:

Self-Initiative: You can download the joint declaration form from the EPFO website yourself. This form is used to correct any discrepancies in your EPF records, including your name, date of birth, and date of joining.

Fill Out the Form: Complete the form with the correct details. For the section that requires employer endorsement, explain your situation and the need for the correction in the date of joining.

Written Request to Employer: Submit a written request to your employer, explaining the discrepancy in your EPF records and the need to correct your date of joining. Attach the filled-out joint declaration form and request their endorsement.

EPFO Grievance: If your employer still refuses to cooperate, you can file a grievance with the EPFO's Grievance Management System (EPFiGMS) online. Provide details of your issue, attach a copy of the filled joint declaration form, and any correspondence with your employer regarding this matter.

EPFO Office Visit: Another option is to visit your regional EPFO office with your filled joint declaration form, your employment documents, and any correspondence with your employer. Speak to an EPFO officer about your situation and seek their assistance in getting the form processed without your employer's endorsement, if possible.

Legal Advice: If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice to explore your options. A legal expert specializing in employment law can provide guidance on how to proceed, possibly including legal action against the employer for non-compliance with EPF regulations.

Remember, while the joint declaration form typically requires employer endorsement, your persistent effort and the use of grievance redressal mechanisms can help in resolving the issue. Keep all records of your communications and attempts to rectify the situation, as they may be necessary if the matter escalates.

Hope this information will be useful .

Regards
