5 ways you can quickly check your PF balance
Members registered with EPFO on the UAN portal can get their details available with EPFO by giving a missed call to 9966044425 from their registered Mobile number.
If the UAN of the member is seeded with any one of the bank A/C number, Aadhaar or PAN, the member will get details of the last contribution and their PF balance.
However, before availing of this facility, members should make sure of the following:
1. Their mobile number must be activated with UAN at the Unified Portal.
2. Any one of the following KYC must be available against the UAN:
a. Bank A/c Number.
b. Aadhaar
c. PAN
Your call will automatically be disconnected after 2 rings, and you will not have to pay anything to use this service.
UAN-activated members can check their latest PF contribution and balance with EPFO by sending an SMS to 7738299899 from their UAN-registered mobile number.
Send the message in this format- “EPFOHO UAN”. Do not forget to include your UAN number in the text. If you wish to receive the response in a regional language, add the code for your preferred language after your UAN in the text. This facility is available in 10 languages, and EPFO will respond with details of the last PF contribution, current balance, and available KYC information.
English (default), Hindi (HIN), Punjabi (PUN), Gujarati (GUJ), Marathi (MAR), Kannada (KAN), Telugu (TEL), Tamil (TAM), Malayalam (MAL), and Bengali (BEN).
To check your EPF balance via your phone, simply download the UMANG app from the Play Store or App Store. After installing the same, log in and link your Universal Account Number (UAN) to access EPFO services. Once linked, you can easily view your PF balance, track contributions, and even raise claims via the UMANG app. Users can also take a summarised glance at transactions done in your Pension Account of PF for the last 3 months, and the rest can be downloaded as a PDF.
First, go to https://www.epfindia.gov.in and click on Services for Employees, and to Member Passbook under this. Log in using your Universal Account Number (UAN) and password registered on the EPFO portal. Once logged in, you can view your monthly contributions, employer’s share, and total PF balance.
Employees working with exempted establishments cannot check their PF establishments using these methods, since these establishments manage their own provident fund (PF) for their employees, and are exempted from contributing to the standard provident fund scheme. Such employees can check their PF balance by checking their salary slip, accessing the company’s internal employee portal or by contacting the HR department.
