EPF Balance Transfer: Is updated date of exit of last organisation on EPFO portal mandatory for applying for transfer?

EPFO balance transfer: Changed jobs? Then remeber to transfer your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) balance from the old company to the new company using the EPFO portal at epfindia.gov.in. If you don't do this then after a certain number of years the old EPF money will stop earning interest. EPFO said: "Updation of date of exit of previous job/employment is mandatory for applying online transfer. The date of exit can be updated only after two months of leaving a job."
