What Is The Need To Update DOE In The UAN Portal?

Many employees face serious financial issues for being unable to withdraw the PF amount in the time of need. Apart from that, the introduction of DOE has also created another pavement that you need to cross to withdraw. Thus, in short, DOE is the date when you left the job from that organization. Thus, it’s the moral duty of your boss to work on it and modify it within a stipulated date. Some employers do it on time while some don’t. Apart from that, if your boss is warm-hearted, you’re lucky. There are a few unlucky cases when the boss has his tantrums to play on.

Even if you try to claim your EPF in the online method, you’ll get a message that your DOE is not updated.

Terms and Conditions Related to DOE

Apart from knowing how to carry out the steps, you must also know a few terms and conditions related to it. So, let’s discuss-

i. You have a minimum period of 2 months to update your DOE after leaving or changing your job.

ii. It’s the most important thing to note that the date you entered once, you can’t change it next. In case you entered it by mistake or didn’t notice the mistake, the process is quite tedious to change it then. You’ve to pen down to your EPFO office with a letter requesting a change. This procedure also needs the assistance of your employer. He also has to sign in the letter to change the date. Therefore, make sure you don’t make any mistakes.

iii. If you’ve changed your job, updated your DOE, and extracted the amount, the subscriptions ends there. It means if you’ve rendered a service period of about 6 years in the organization and claimed your amount, your service period ceases. The new job where you start, it counts as your first service period then. For example, if company A, you rendered 6 years and withdrew your claim. While you changed to company B, the last 6 years won’t get counted. Thus, it’s advisable to shift your EPF account rather than claiming the entire amount after updating DOE.

iv. Your employer can easily check the history of your service period. There’s no way how you can put a veil of his eyes.

v. Your DOE is the last month when you contributed towards your EPF fund.
