You are not able to withdraw your money when needed, because your PF account is not matching with the documents. Is it that you are not able to update the KYC of your PF account? It may also be that you are not able to attach any of your old PF accounts with the UAN number.
Because the issue is the same that your name is not matching with your present documents. But now you do not need to worry, because the organization that operates your PF account, EPFO i.e. Employees Provident Fund Organization, has brought a new initiative for you.
Your name mistake in UAN will be corrected like this
You will not have to work hard to correct the mistake in your name in any of your special PF accounts or UAN. It will be done quickly.

Just follow the instructions given in that initiative and the name related error in your EPF account will be corrected. You will need to apply online as per that instruction.
