According to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO’s) FAQs, individuals can revise the date of departure only after two months of quitting a job. Also, it’s important to know that the date of departure is not any specific date, but it can be any date in the month. Normally, it’s the date on which your previous employer provides you with your final payment.
