If you’re a salaried employee in India, chances are you have a Provident Fund (PF) account—a financial safety net that grows with every paycheck. While 12% of your salary is deposited monthly into this account, your employer matches that amount, making it a robust long-term savings scheme. But many employees remain unaware of their current PF balance. Thankfully, in 2025, checking your PF balance from home is easier than ever. Here’s a guide to the top four verified methods to access your PF details without stepping into an office.
1. Check PF Balance via SMS
One of the simplest ways to check your PF balance is by sending an SMS. However, this service only works if your mobile number is linked to your UAN (Universal Account Number).
How to check:
Type this message:
EPFOHO UAN HIN
Send it to: 7738299899
“HIN” is the language code for Hindi. For English, type “ENG”; for Tamil, “TAM”, and so on.
Once sent, you will receive a message showing your latest PF contribution and account balance. This service supports multiple Indian languages and is free of cost.
2. Missed Call Service
If you don’t have access to the internet or a smartphone, this method is a savior. Just give a missed call and receive your PF details via SMS.
Steps to follow:
Dial: 9966044425 from your registered mobile number
The call will disconnect automatically
You’ll receive a text message with your PF balance and last contribution
This is the fastest and easiest method for those with limited tech access.
3. Check on the EPFO Website
For a detailed overview of your PF contributions, interest earned, and other details, the EPFO official website is the most comprehensive platform.
Here’s how to do it:
Visit: www.epfindia.gov.in
Click on “For Employees” under the “Services” tab
Select “Member Passbook”
Enter your UAN, password, and captcha
You’ll be able to view and download your PF statement
This method is ideal if you need your entire contribution history or passbook for documentation purposes.
4. Using the Umang App
The Umang App is an all-in-one platform offered by the Government of India for various public services, including EPFO.
Steps to check PF balance:
Download and log in to the Umang App
Navigate to the “EPFO” section
Click on “View Passbook”
Enter your UAN and authenticate with an OTP
Your complete PF balance and passbook details will be displayed
Apart from checking your PF, you can also access claim status, pension services, and grievance redressal via this app.
Which Method is Best?
Among all the available options, giving a missed call stands out as the easiest and fastest method to check your PF balance. It’s free, doesn’t require internet, and gives you essential information instantly.
However, for detailed statements or official documentation, the EPFO website or Umang app are more suitable.
