How do I find out what my EPF balance is?

Check your EPF balance by ensuring that your employer has activated your Universal Account Number (UAN). All employees who participate in the EPF plan are assigned a UAN, which is a unique identification number. Regardless of the organisation for which they work, all employees should have only one UAN throughout their careers. It is straightforward to access your PF account services, such as withdrawal, checking your EPF balance, and applying for an EPF loan, thanks to UAN. UAN is important because the whole EPF service procedure is now done online. Once your UAN number has been activated, complete these steps:

Step 1: Go to the EPFO's website. Go to 'Our Services' and choose "For Employees" from the drop-down menu.

Step 2: Under "Services," select the 'Member Passbook" option.

Step 3: A login page will be shown. After your UAN has been activated, enter your UAN number and password here.

Step 4: Click on the 'View Password [Old: Full]' option after selecting the 'Member ID.'

Step 5: Your PF information will appear on the screen.

Step 6: Click the 'Download Passbook' button to print this passbook.

• Check Your PF Balance Via SMS

Once your UAN has been linked to your KYC information, proceed as follows: Send a text message to 7738299899.

The response will be written in the format "EPFOHO UAN ENG."

In the SMS, you must choose your chosen language of communication. Simply enter the first three characters of your desired language. Use the first three characters of the word English, i.e., EPFOHO UAN ENG, if you want to get updates in English.
