EPFO decides to exclude Aadhaar as valid proof for date of birth

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), operating under the Ministry of Labour and Employment of the Government of India, has announced that it will no longer consider Aadhaar cards as valid proof for the date of birth.

The decision, conveyed through a circular (No: WSU/2024/1/UIDAI Matter/4090), aligns with a directive from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), emphasizing that while Aadhaar serves as a unique identifier, it is not recognized as proof of birth according to the Aadhaar Act, 2016. EPFO has directed its zonal and regional offices to implement these guidelines widely, and necessary modifications in the application software will be made by the Internal System Division (ISD).

Necessary modification in EPFO's application software will be made to align with the updated guidelines. Internal System Division (ISD) will make the necessary changes. EPFO has directed all its zonal and regional offices to ensure widespread implementation of the latest guidelines.
