As an employee and a member of the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), you don't have to wait for your employer to share your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) statement at the end of the year to know the balance. You can check your PF balance via any of these facilities- Umang App, EPFO Member e-Sewa portal, SMS or a missed call. If your EPF is managed by the exempted establishment (that is a Trust), then you should contact your employer to check your provident fund ..

  • Using Umang app - Employees can view their PF balance on mobile phones with the help of Umang app. Umang app was launched by the government to provide access to various government services in a single place. One can view EPF Passbook, raise claim and even track Claim using the app. To get started, you need to complete a one-time registration using your phone number.
  • Using the EPFO portal - Instead of the unified portal, users will now be able to access their PF passbooks on a different website run by the EPFO. The unified portal can, however, still be used for transactional services like transfers. To view your PF passbook on the portal you need to have your account tagged with your Universal Account Number (UAN). You can download or print your EPF passbook from the website.
  • By sending an SMS - If your UAN is registered with the EPFO, you can get the details of your latest contribution and PF balance by sending an SMS to 7738299899. You need to send this message: EPFOHO UAN ENG. 'ENG' is the first three characters of the preferred language. So, if you want to receive the message in Marathi, then type in EPFOHO UAN MAR. The facility is available in 10 languages - English (default), Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, .. EPFO also sends details of members available in its records. So, make sure your UAN is seeded with your bank account, Aadhaar and PAN, else ask your employer to seed it for you.
  • By giving a missed call - If you are registered on the UAN portal, giving a missed call on 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number will get you the details. Do make sure your UAN is seeded with your bank account number, Aadhaar and PAN. You can also ask your employer to seed them for you.
