EPFO Balance Check: Every employee of the organized sector of the country is given the benefit of EPF on behalf of the company. The company deposits some amount every month from your salary in your EPF.
Along with this, a part of the salary is also deposited in the EPF account by you. At the same time, the government also deposits interest in it on an annual basis. In such a situation, the employee should keep checking the EPF balance on time. All kinds of facilities are provided to the account holders by EPFO, through which they can easily check their balance without logging in to the website.
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organization is India’s largest social security program for workers in diverse industries. EPFO manages the Employees’ Provident Fund in India. It acts as a savings tool where both the employer and the employee contribute equally to the savings which can be used for retirement or while changing jobs.
Online and offline ways to check EPF balance
- Missed Call: Employees enrolled on the UAN site can access their EPFO account information by giving a missed call to 9966044425 from their registered cellphone number. After two rings, the call ends immediately, and the subscriber is not charged for this service. Member will get information about his most recent contribution and PF balance if his UAN is linked with either of his bank account number, Aadhaar or PAN.
