EPFO members can check available provident fund balance and contribution information without visiting an EPFO office. The most useful options are the official EPFO Member Passbook portal, SMS service, missed-call facility and EPFO services available through UMANG.

Use official services only. Do not disclose your UAN password, Aadhaar number, PAN, bank details or OTP to callers or unofficial websites. EPFO's passbook portal itself warns members not to share personal details or make payments based on unsolicited calls.

1. Check EPF balance online through UAN Member Passbook

The EPFO Member Passbook service is the simplest way to view member-wise contribution and balance information online.

  1. Open the official EPFO Member Passbook portal.
  2. Enter your UAN and password.
  3. Complete the captcha and sign in.
  4. Select the relevant Member ID / establishment, where applicable.
  5. View the passbook details shown for your EPF account.

If recent employer contributions are not visible immediately, allow for EPFO ledger-processing time and verify the wage month and establishment details.

2. Check EPF balance by SMS

UAN-activated members can obtain the latest contribution and balance information by sending an SMS from the mobile number registered with the UAN.

Send EPFOHO UAN to 7738299899.

For a supported language other than the default English, add the relevant three-letter language code. For example, Telugu uses EPFOHO UAN TEL.

EPFO lists Hindi (HIN), Punjabi (PUN), Gujarati (GUJ), Marathi (MAR), Kannada (KAN), Telugu (TEL), Tamil (TAM), Malayalam (MAL) and Bengali (BEN), in addition to English.

3. Check EPF balance by missed call

Give a missed call to 9966044425 from the mobile number registered with your UAN. EPFO states that the call disconnects automatically and the facility is free to the member.

For this facility, the mobile number must be activated with the UAN and the UAN should have the required KYC information. EPFO's published instructions refer to Bank Account, Aadhaar or PAN seeding for the service.

Important: Older web pages may still show 011-22901406. The current number published by EPFO is 9966044425.

4. Check EPF services through UMANG

EPFO lists its mobile services through UMANG. Install UMANG only from an official app store or use the official UMANG service, select EPFO, and follow the on-screen member-service options available for your account.

Visit EPFO's official "For Employees" page for current member services and EPFO's UMANG reference.
