The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), run by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), is a great option for reliable and secure retirement savings. In this, every employee contributes 12% of his basic salary and dearness allowance (DA), and the employer (company) also deposits the same amount. Every year, the EPFO ​​​​pays a fixed interest rate on this deposit amount.

After retirement, the benefit of this fund is available in the form of a pension. However, if needed, the member is also given the facility to withdraw money from the PF account. If you also want to withdraw some part of your Provident Fund (PF), then these 5 easy methods can be useful for you. Just your UAN (Universal Account Number) should be active.

Know PF balance instantly

Now you do not need to go through long processes to know the balance of your PF account. These 4 easy methods will tell you your balance in a few minutes:

The magic of UMANG app

Install the UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app on your phone. Open the app and log in. Then click on ‘EPFO option’ and go to ‘Employee Centric Services’. Now click on ‘view passbook’! Enter the UAN number, after which OTP will come to your mobile number. After entering the OTP, the PF account will be logged in. Now you will see the PF passbook. This app is a one-stop solution for government services.

Get information in a moment through SMS

To know PF balance through SMS, SMS to 7738299899 from the mobile number registered with EPFO. For this, EPFO ​​UAN LAN (language) has to be typed. If you want information in English, then write ENG instead of LAN. For information in Hindi, write HIN instead of LAN. To get account information in Hindi, write EPFOHO UAN HIN and send it to 7738299899, and the message will come on your mobile. This method is best for those who do not have internet or who want to know the balance quickly.

Missed call

Missed call is also a great option! For this, you have to make a missed call to 9966044425 from your UAN-registered mobile number. As soon as the call is disconnected, you will get an SMS containing details of your new contribution and balance. This is the easiest and fastest way to know the balance.

The direct way to the EPFO ​​​​portal

First of all, log in to the EPFO ​​​​website and click on ‘e-passbook’. As soon as you click on e-passbook, you will reach a new page. There you have to fill in your username (UAN number), password, and captcha. Then a new page will open. Here you have to select the member ID. As soon as you select the member ID, you will see your EPF balance on the e-passbook. This method gives you detailed information.

It is possible to know the PF balance even without UAN

If you do not have a UAN, you can still know your EPF balance. First of all, go to epfindia.gov.in and log in. Click on the ‘Know Your EPF Balance’ option on the homepage. After this, go to ‘Member Balance Information’. Now select your state. Then click on the link to the EPFO ​​office. Now submit your PF account number, name, and registered mobile number.

After this, your PF balance will be displayed. Apart from this, you can also check your EPF balance without a Universal Account Number by giving a missed call to 011-229014016. For this service, your mobile number must be registered on the UAN portal, and the account must have KYC details.
