Step 4 – Deleting the application for Amendments
If you want to modify any details in your application, you will have to first delete your old application. Once you click on the dustbin icon, you will get a prompt asking to give consent for deletion of application form.
I have personally verified this option to be working when the application status is “Pending At Employer“. I have NOT verified it for any other case. In case you have, please leave a comment for benefit of others. Also, there may be sometimes issue at EPFO end which may cause your application to be stuck. So exercise the option with Caution!
Once you get the prompt and are certain to proceed, click on the red button saying “Delete Application”.
