For salaried individuals, keeping track of their Provident Fund (PF) account is essential. Questions like whether the company is contributing to the PF, how much interest is being earned, or what the current PF balance is often linger in their minds. Regularly checking your PF balance can help resolve these queries and provide clarity about your savings. Thankfully, checking your PF balance is easier than ever with multiple methods available at your fingertips.

One of the simplest ways to check your PF balance is by giving a missed call. If your mobile number is registered with your Universal Account Number (UAN), you can dial 9966044425 from your registered number to receive an SMS with your PF details. Alternatively, you can send an SMS to 7738299899 with the format “EPFOHO ENG” (for English) or use the first three letters of your preferred language. Another option is accessing your PF passbook via the EPFO website or the UMANG app. These platforms allow users to view detailed contributions from both employee and employer, opening and closing balances, and accumulated interest. The UMANG app also lets you submit claims and track their status conveniently. Monitoring your PF account ensures transparency and helps you plan your financial future effectively.
