Check EPF Balance / Passbook online

Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made several changes in its process to help EPF subscribers to check their PF balance or passbook. EPF members with activated UANs (Universal Account Numbers) are getting information regarding their monthly contribution in PF account through SMS sent by EPFO on their registered mobile numbers. Here’s a complete guide to check EPF Balance / Passbook online?



Universal Account Number (UAN)

UAN is a 12 digit unique number given by EPFO to its members. A universal number is generated for each of the PF (Provident Fund) Account Number at EPFO. No two EPF members can have the same number. This number remains the same even with the change of the job. Because of this universal number, you can easily transfer your EPF balance in case of the job change.



If you don’t know have your UAN then contact your employer. To avail the benefits, you have to activate your UAN. This activation is done through the unified member portal. After UAN activation, you can easily check your PF balance online through unified member portal.
