Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a valuable savings tool for employees. Contributions aim to ensure future financial security.
In EPF accounts, both employees and employers contribute 12% of the employee’s salary each month. Staying updated on your Provident Fund (PF) balance is essential for effective financial planning.
To check your EPF balance, ensure your Universal Account Number (UAN) is activated.
The UAN is a unique identification number assigned to each employee under the EPF scheme, typically found on your monthly salary slip.
Here’s a guide on various methods to check your EPF balance:
1. Checking PF Balance on the EPFO Website

Note: Ensure your UAN is activated and linked to your PF account. You can activate it directly on the EPFO website if you haven’t done so already.
2. Checking PF Balance via SMS
- Step 1: Send an SMS to 7738299899.

Checking PF Balance Without UAN
If you don’t have a UAN, you can still access your PF balance:
- Through Your Employer: Many companies allow employees access to their PF statements. Contact your HR or finance department for an updated PF balance statement. Employers have access to the EPFO portal and can generate your PF statement upon request.
Keeping track of your EPF balance regularly can help you stay informed about your financial progress and future security.
