As an Employee and Provident Fund (PF) member, you do not need to wait for the PF statement to be released at the end of the year to know the balance.You can check your PF balance from your home or office, anywhere in minutes.
Let us tell you how you can check your PF balance from app, SMS, missed call or EPFO website.
1.EPFO website
Instead of the Unified Portal, users can now view the passbook of PF on a separate website as well.However, Unified Portal can still be used for services like transfer. To view the PF passbook on the portal, it is necessary that your PF account is tagged with the Universal Account Number (UAN or UAN).
- First step: The member’s passbook is available on the website www.epfindia.gov.in.
- Step two: On the PF website, click on the For Employee button in our Services column.
- Step Three: Click on the Member Passbook in the Services tab.
After this the page will open.Or you can also go directly to this page: https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in/MemberPassBook/Login.jsp
To see the EPF pass book, it is necessary that your employer has activated your UAN. If your UAN is active, then log in with the passbook. After this, you can check the balance of the passbook.
The PF passbook of the members of institutions which are exempted under the EPF Scheme, 1952 cannot be seen here.
If you try to log in anyway, you will get this message: This member’s pass book is not available because his institute is exempt from it. Please contact your employer.
2. Checking PF balance through SMS
If your UAN is registered with EPFO, then your latest contribution and PF balance information can be obtained from a message. For this, you have to send it by writing to 7738299899.
EPFOHO UAN ENG. The last three letters are for the language. If you want information in Hindi, then you can send it by writing EPFOHO UAN HIN. The service is available in English, Punjabi, Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Bengali.
The EPFO only sends the information of the members present with you. In this context, it is important that your UAN is linked to the bank account, PAN and Aadhar (AADHAR). If it is not, ask your employer to link it.
3. Through missed call
If you are registered on UAN portal, then you give a missed call on 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number.
After this, you will get a message from EPFO in which you will get the details of your PF account. Here too, however, it is important that the bank account, PAN and Aadhaar (AADHAR) are linked to the UAN.
4. Through EPFO App
You can download EPFO’s M-Seva app from Google’s Play Store. Once the app is downloaded, you can go to the Balance / Passbook section by clicking on the member. After this, you will have to enter UAN and registered mobile number.
