If you're contributing to a Provident Fund (PF), keeping track of your balance is essential. While many employees log into the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) website to check their balances, there’s a quicker way. With just a missed call or an SMS, you can know your PF balance in seconds, ensuring you monitor your employer's contributions effectively.
Method 1: Missed Call Service
EPFO offers a missed call service for registered users. Here’s how to use it:
1. Save the number 9966044425 in your phone.
2. Call from your registered mobile number and let it ring twice; the call will disconnect automatically.
3. You’ll receive an SMS shortly with your updated PF balance.
Method 2: SMS Service
Prefer texting? EPFO also provides a convenient SMS option.
1. Save the number 7738299899 in your phone.
2. Open your messaging app and type: EPFOHO UAN (replace UAN with your 12-digit Universal Account Number).
3. Send this message to 7738299899.
You’ll receive your PF balance details via SMS, making it easy to keep a written record.
Requirements
Before using these services, ensure your UAN is active and linked to at least one KYC document (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank Account). Your mobile number must also be registered with the EPFO Unified Portal.
Multilingual SMS Option
EPFO’s SMS service supports ten languages. To receive messages in a language other than English, simply add the first three letters of the language code after your UAN (e.g., EPFOHO UAN TEL for Telugu).
Conclusion
With these two simple methods, checking your PF balance is hassle-free and instantaneous—no internet required! Save 9966044425 for missed calls and 7738299899 for SMS, and you’ll have your PF information at your fingertips in under a minute.
