Want Your PF Balance Instantly? Just Give a Missed Call or Message This Number

Many people face problems while checking PF balance on the portal of Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). The passbook is not visible due to server down, login error, lack of KYC or technical problems. But don’t worry, you can know your PF balance without internet by just sending an SMS or a missed call.

Why is the PF balance not visible on the portal?

Although the EPF passbook portal is usually working properly, the balance may not be visible due to several reasons. For example, server overload or maintenance, incorrect login or password problem, incomplete Aadhaar, PAN or bank KYC, technical glitches. Due to this, it is difficult to open the passbook at times.
