Your Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) balance grows every month with contributions from you and your employer. Here are four easy ways to check it.
Before you start
- Keep your UAN (Universal Account Number) handy. You will find it on your salary slip or can ask your employer.
- Your UAN should be activated, and your Aadhaar, PAN and bank account should be linked (KYC) for the SMS and missed-call options.
1. Missed call
Give a missed call to 9966044425 from your mobile number registered with EPFO. The call disconnects automatically and you receive an SMS with your last contribution and balance. It is free.
2. SMS
Send EPFOHO UAN ENG to 7738299899 from your registered mobile. Replace ENG with HIN for Hindi or another language code for other languages.
3. EPFO member passbook portal
- Visit the EPFO member passbook website (passbook.epfindia.gov.in).
- Log in with your UAN, password and captcha.
- Select your member ID to view and download the passbook.
4. UMANG app
- Download the UMANG app and register with your mobile number.
- Search for EPFO and select “View Passbook”.
- Enter your UAN and the OTP sent to your registered mobile.
Balance not updated?
- Employers deposit contributions monthly, but the passbook can take a few days to update.
- Interest for the year is usually credited after the government notifies the rate.
- If contributions are missing for several months, contact your employer’s HR or raise a grievance on the EPFiGMS portal.
