Does a portion of your salary get deducted every month for the Provident Fund (PF), and do you want to know how much money has accumulated in your PF account, or do you want to check your PF account balance periodically? You can do this in just a few minutes with a simple call or SMS.

Yes, sometimes due to technical reasons or office errors, the PF money is not deposited into the account. In such cases, regularly checking the balance becomes very important, but the good news is that you don't need to log in to the app or website every time. You can check your PF balance in just a few minutes using only your mobile phone. Let's learn more about this today.

How to check PF balance via missed call

You can also check your PF balance through a missed call via EPFO. To do this, simply give a missed call from your registered mobile number to 9966044425. The call will ring twice and then disconnect automatically. After a short while, you will receive an SMS on your registered mobile number containing all the information about your PF balance. Note that you don't need to disconnect the call; it will disconnect automatically.

How to check PF balance via SMS

Besides giving a missed call, you can also check your PF account balance via SMS. To do this, simply type a message on your mobile phone. Type EPFOHO followed by your UAN number in the message, and then send it to 7738299899. You will soon receive your PF account details via SMS. Note that you need to put a space after EPFOHO before typing your UAN number.

Also, keep these things in mind.

To check your PF balance via missed call or SMS, your UAN must be active. Additionally, at least one KYC document, such as your bank account number, Aadhaar, or PAN, should be linked to your account. Your mobile number should also be linked to your account and be active. Only then will you be able to easily check your PF account balance.
