Samples of cover letters for PF name change

Many a time it happens that a withdrawal claim is denied if the Provident Fund account of the applicant does not reflect the correct information. The best format for writing a cover letter for a PF name change is as follows:

• Address the recipient with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient).” If you do not know the recipient’s name, you can refer to them as sir/madam.

• The next step is to state why you are writing the letter. Mention the name of the employee whose details you want to rectify along with the name of the establishment.

• Enter the correct details, i.e. the details you want to be reflected on your PF account.

• List the relevant documents you have enclosed.

• Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement.
