UAN & PAN Mismatch

UAN and PAN Mismatch

When the Universal Account Number (UAN) and Permanent Account Number (PAN) don't align, it can lead to various complications, especially in critical financial transactions and tax-related matters. The UAN is inextricably linked to an individual's Employee Provident Fund (EPF) account, while the PAN is a unique identification number issued by the Income Tax Department. Discrepancies between the two may arise due to data entry errors, subtle name variations, or other administrative issues. Resolving this mismatch promptly is crucial to ensure seamless financial operations and maintain full compliance with regulatory requirements. It typically involves efficiently updating records with relevant authorities through prescribed procedures to harmonize the information and effectively avoid any potential legal or financial consequences. Easypaytax provides expert assistance for resolving such mismatches.

Reason Why You’re Getting PAN Verification Error in EPF UAN

Nowadays, EPF subscribers are frequently encountering an unexpected "PAN verification failed" error when attempting to upload their KYC details, specifically PAN Card information, on the EPF unified portal. Before delving into the solution, it's vital to understand how and why this error persistently appears upon uploading PAN details.

The primary reason for this discrepancy is a mismatch between the employee's name as stated on their PAN card and the name registered in the EPF UAN portal. This inconsistency triggers the error message:

"Name against UAN Does Not Match with the Name in Income Tax Department." Easypaytax helps identify and resolve the root cause of these errors.

How To Solve PAN Verification Error in UAN

Members must understand that this error arises from an incorrect name registered within their EPFO database. Therefore, the immediate and necessary step is to first update or correct the name entered in the EPF UAN Portal. To update or correct the registered name in the EPFO database, the most effective method is to complete and submit the EPF Joint Declaration Form. This Joint Declaration Form is remarkably versatile; a single form can also be utilized to update other crucial details such as:

  1. Update/Correct Date of Birth (DOB)
  2. Update/Correct Date of Joining (DOJ)
  3. Update/Correct Date of Leaving (DOL)
  4. PF/EPS Account Number
  5. Father/Husband Name

When filling in the EPF joint declaration form, the member must clearly specify both their incorrect and correct names. Following this, the member should obtain their employer's attestation on the form. Finally, submit the attested form along with the employer's name correction request letter to your regional EPF office. The typical timeframe for updating these details is at least 30 days. Easypaytax provides comprehensive assistance throughout this entire process.
