PF Balance Check: If you are a salaried employee, you likely have a PF (Provident Fund) account. Under this scheme, 12% of an employee’s salary is deposited into the PF account, and the company makes an equal contribution. The government also pays a fixed rate of interest on these deposits; currently, the interest rate is 8.25%. A portion of this amount goes towards the pension scheme, while the rest is deposited into the PF account.

It is advisable to check your PF account balance periodically. There are several ways to do this: you can visit the official EPFO ​​website using your UAN (Universal Account Number) or check via the UMANG app. However, we are sharing a basic method here. You only need to perform one action using your registered mobile number, and you will instantly receive full details of your PF balance on your phone.

How to Check PF Balance via Missed Call?
You can find out your PF balance simply by giving a missed call.
To do so, give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number.
The call will disconnect automatically after ringing once or twice.
Shortly after—within 15 to 20 minutes—you will receive a text message on your mobile number.
This message contains full details of your PF balance, including your name.
The best part is that this process of checking your PF balance is completely free.

Important Points for Checking PF Balance
Ensure that you make the missed call from the mobile number linked to your PF account, UAN, and Aadhaar card. Additionally, your UAN must be active, and the KYC process for your PF account must be completed.

What is EPFO? PF (or EPF) is managed by the EPFO; consequently, this organisation maintains all related records. It is worth noting that EPFO ​​stands for the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. Established in 1952, this organisation works to safeguard the financial future of the country’s workforce and ranks among the world’s largest social security institutions.

According to its official website, the EPFO ​​was set up to manage PF, pension, and insurance schemes for workers in the organised sector. It administers three schemes: the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme (EPF), the Employees’ Pension Scheme (EPS), and the Employees’ Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLI).
