Every employed person in the country has a PF, i.e., Provident Fund account. It is a kind of savings account, in which a part of your salary is deposited every month, and the same part is deposited by your company. Over time, this amount becomes a big fund, which secures your future. But many people do not know how much money has been deposited in their PF account so far. If you are also unaware of this, then do not worry. You can check your PF balance sitting at home.
How to check the PF balance from the website
The easiest way to know your PF balance is to use the official website of EPFO. Just follow these easy steps:
First of all, go to the EPFO website.
There, you have to log in by entering your UAN number and password.
After logging in, go to the ‘Our Services’ section and select the option of ‘Member Passbook’.
Here you will get complete information about your PF account, such as how much money has been deposited so far, how much is your and your company’s contribution, and when the money was deposited.
You can easily do this entire process from your phone or laptop.
Know your PF balance with a missed call
If you are not able to check the balance from the website, then you can also know your PF balance with a missed call. This method is best for those who do not have internet access.
First of all, make sure that your mobile number is registered with EPFO.
Now, give a missed call from your registered mobile number to the toll-free number 9966044425. This call will be disconnected automatically in a few seconds.
After some time, a message will come on your mobile, which will contain information about your account balance and latest updates.
There is no additional charge for this service.
Check balance through SMS too
Another simple way to check the PF balance is through the SMS service. For this method also, it is necessary that your mobile number is linked to your PF account.
Write ‘EPFOHO UAN’ from your registered mobile number and send a message to EPFO’s number 7738299899.
In a short while, you will receive a message, which will contain the balance of your PF passbook and other information related to the account.
With these three methods, you can quickly know your PF balance anytime and anywhere, and ensure that your savings are being deposited correctly.
