EPFO New Mobile Services: No Internet? No Problem!

Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has launched simplified mobile services that allow subscribers to check their Provident Fund (PF) balance without needing an app or login credentials.

The initiative aims to enhance accessibility, particularly for individuals in rural and semi-urban areas with limited internet access.

With this new system, EPFO members can retrieve their PF balance and last contribution details by simply giving a missed call or sending an SMS, eliminating the need for complex online logins or physical visits to EPFO offices.

EPFO: How to Check PF Balance via Missed Call

EPFO’s missed call service is a quick and free method for checking PF balance. Here’s how it works:

1. Dial 9966044425 from your UAN-linked mobile number.
2. The call will disconnect automatically after two rings, ensuring no charges apply.
3. Within seconds, you will receive an SMS containing your latest PF balance and last contribution details.

This service is available 24×7 and is designed to reduce dependency on internet-based platforms, making it ideal for workers without smartphone access.

How to Check PF Balance via SMS

For those who prefer text-based inquiries, EPFO offers an SMS facility that provides PF balance details in multiple Indian languages.

To use this service:

1. Open your SMS app and type: EPFOHO UAN.
2. Send the message to 7738299899 from your registered mobile number.
3. By default, the response will be in English, but users can receive it in their preferred language by adding the first three letters of the language code at the end.
   • Hindi: EPFOHO UAN HIN
   • Telugu: EPFOHO UAN TEL
   • Tamil: EPFOHO UAN TAM

Supported languages include Hindi, Punjabi, Gujarati, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Bengali.

Prerequisites for Using These Services

To access the missed call and SMS features, EPFO members must ensure:

• Their Universal Account Number (UAN) is activated.
• Their mobile number is registered and linked to their UAN.
• At least one KYC document (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account) is linked to their UAN.

Without these prerequisites, the services will not function, and users may need to update their details via the EPFO member portal.
