Kaise KareinHow to check your PF balance
Four ways to see your EPF balance: the passbook portal, the UMANG app, an SMS and a missed call.
Checked on 11 November 2026. Fees, forms and steps change. Confirm on the official website before you pay. This is not a government website, and we do not process any application.
What you need
- Your UAN (Universal Account Number), a 12-digit number printed on your salary slip
- An activated UAN with a password
- Your mobile number registered with the UAN, and KYC (Aadhaar, PAN or bank account) added to it
Steps
Tick each step as you finish it. The ticks stay in your browser.
Fee
All four ways are free of any EPFO charge.
Good to know
- The SMS and missed call work only from the mobile number registered with your UAN, and only if KYC is added.
- A new deposit can take some days to show in the passbook.
- Check the passbook every few months. If a month's deposit is missing, ask your employer first; if that does not help, raise a grievance on EPFO's EPFiGMS portal.
- When you change jobs, keep the same UAN and give it to the new employer, so that all your PF stays in one place.
- EPFO never asks for your password or OTP on the phone. Calls offering to "release your PF" for a fee are frauds.
