If you too have an EPF account and are wondering how to check your account balance, here’s how you will be able to it.

1. Checking your EPF balance through EPFO website:

• Head to the EPFO website (Click here: https://www.epfindia.gov.in/)

• Below the drop-down menu on ‘Services’ click on the ‘For Employees’ option

• Under the ‘Services’ section below, click on ‘Member Passbook’

• It will redirect you to another page where you have to enter your UAN (Universal Account Number) and password along with a mathematical captcha solution to log in

• This method is available to those members who are already registered on the Unified Member Portal. It takes 6 hours for the passbook to be available after the registration at Unified Member Portal.

2. Checking your EPF balance through Umang App:

• Download and install the Umang App on your mobile through Google Play or App Store.

• Open the app and click on ‘EPFO’

• An OTP (one time password) will be sent to your mobile number registered with your EPF account

• Enter the OTP on the required field and tap ‘Login’

• Select the Company Name and member ID of your employer and track your EPF balance

3. Checking your EPF balance through missed call:

• If your EPF account is registered on the UAN portal along with your mobile number, then give a missed call on 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number and you will get the details of your EPF account through an SMS.

4. Checking your EPF balance through SMS:

• Type “EPFOHO UAN ENG” and send it to 7738299899. Here, the last three letters “ENG” is the preferred language. This service is available in various local languages such as Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil Malayalam and Kannada.

If you wish to get the PF message in any domestic Indian language, then type the first 3 letters of the language, such as ‘BEN’ for Bengali, ‘MAR’ for Marathi, and so on.
