how to check pf balance

You can check your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) balance using several convenient methods, both online and offline, with or without your Universal Account Number (UAN). Here are the main ways:

Checking PF Balance Using UAN

1. EPFO Portal (Online)
   • Visit the EPFO official website.
   • Go to ‘For Employees’ > ‘Member Passbook’.
   • Log in with your UAN, password, and OTP sent to your registered mobile.
   • View and download your PF passbook showing contributions and balance

2. UMANG Mobile App
   • Download and install the UMANG app.
   • Log in with your UAN-linked mobile number and verify via OTP.
   • Select ‘Employee Centric Services’ > ‘View Passbook’ to see your PF balance

Checking PF Balance Without UAN

1. Missed Call Service
   • Give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number.
   • You will receive an SMS with your PF balance details.
   • Ensure your mobile number is linked to your UAN and KYC details are updated

2. SMS Service
   • Send an SMS in the format: EPFOHO UAN to 7738299899 from your registered mobile.
   • You will receive your PF balance and contribution details via SMS.
   • You can add a language code at the end (e.g., EPFOHO UAN HIN for Hindi)

Additional Notes

• Your UAN must be activated and linked to your mobile number.
• KYC details like Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account must be updated for these services.
• If you do not have internet access, missed call and SMS services are reliable offline options

• If you do not know your UAN, you can get it from your employer, salary slip, or EPFO portal’s "Know Your UAN" feature

These methods provide easy access to your PF balance for financial planning, withdrawal, or loan purposes
