If you’re a registered EPFO member on the UAN portal, you’re now completely free from the hassle of logging into the official website to check your PF balance and last contribution. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has launched a revolutionary missed call service for the convenience of its members. Simply make a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number. This simple call will provide you with your complete PF details via SMS within minutes. Most importantly, there are no charges for using this powerful service.
Requirements to avail the missed call service
This convenient service from the EPFO will only work successfully if certain basic requirements are met. First and foremost, your UAN must be active. Second, ensure that your UAN is linked to at least one of your KYC credentials, such as your bank account number, Aadhaar (UID), or PAN card. Third, you must only make the call from a mobile number that is active and registered on your UAN portal. If these conditions are not met, this fast service will not work for you.
What information will you receive after the missed call
As soon as you make a missed call and the call is automatically disconnected after two rings, you will receive an SMS. This SMS will provide you with two crucial pieces of information: first, your last contribution, which tells you the exact amount your employer recently deposited. Second, your latest Provident Fund (PF) balance, meaning the total amount deposited in your account. Thus, this service provides employees with seamless transparency and financial control.
What to do if your UAN isn’t activated
If your UAN isn’t yet activated, it’s essential to activate it immediately to take advantage of the missed call feature. There are two easy and reliable ways to activate it:

- Go to the EPFO option and select the ‘UAN Activation’ option.
- Enter the required details and complete the authentication by sending the OTP received on your mobile number.
