If you’re an EPFO member looking for a simple and fast way to check your Provident Fund (PF) balance, here’s some great news. The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) now offers an easy method to check your PF balance and last contribution amount using just a missed call or an SMS — no smartphone, app, or internet needed!
Millions of salaried employees can benefit from this service, provided their UAN (Universal Account Number) is properly linked with their Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account. If you’re eligible, you can find out your PF status in seconds.
Check PF Balance Instantly with Just One Missed Call
The EPFO has made checking your PF balance incredibly easy. Once your UAN is active and KYC-compliant, all you need to do is give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number. The system will automatically disconnect the call after a few rings, and within seconds, you’ll receive an SMS with your PF account balance and latest contribution details.
This service is completely free, and you don’t need any internet connection or smartphone to use it.
Eligibility: What You Need Before Using the Missed Call Service
To access the missed call facility, make sure of the following:
-
Your mobile number is linked and verified with your UAN.
-
At least one KYC document (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account) is updated on the EPFO portal.
-
Your UAN account is activated through the EPFO’s unified member portal.
Once these requirements are met, you’re ready to use the service.
