The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has just made it easier than ever for workers to check their Provident Fund (PF) balance. Gone are the days when you had to log into a website, wait for an app to load, or stand in line at a kiosk. Now, with a simple missed call, you can instantly get your PF balance. Here’s everything you need to know about this new and super convenient service!

1. How Does the EPFO Missed Call service Work?

EPFO has introduced a missed call service, where you can check your PF balance by giving a missed call to a specific number. The service is completely free of charge and eliminates the need for logging into the EPFO website or using the UMANG app. Here’s how it works:

· Dial the number: 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number.

· Missed call: Simply make the call, and it will automatically disconnect.

· Receive balance details: Within moments, you will receive an SMS with your PF balance, along with other relevant details such as your last contribution and the date of the last settlement.

2. Why is This Missed Call service a Game-Changer?

This new service is a game-changer for EPFO subscribers for several reasons:

· Instant Access: No need to wait or log into any website or app. A missed call gets you your PF balance in seconds.

· No Internet Required: You don’t need an internet connection to check your balance. This is perfect for people in areas with low connectivity.

· No App Hassle: Forget having to navigate through apps like UMANG or official EPFO portals. A missed call is all it takes.

· Free of Cost: The missed call service is completely free, so there’s no cost associated with checking your PF balance.

3. Who Can Use This Service?

To use the missed call service, your mobile number must be linked to your EPF account. This is important because the SMS will be sent to the number registered with your EPF account.

If your number is not registered, you can easily update it through the EPFO portal or by visiting your nearest EPFO office.

4. What Information Will You Receive?

Once you give the missed call, you’ll receive an SMS that contains:

· Your current PF balance.

· Details of the last contribution.

· Date of the last settlement.

· Account details, including your UAN (Universal Account Number), which helps in verifying the account.

5. Additional Features to Explore

In addition to the missed call service, you can explore other ways of checking your PF balance:

· EPFO Portal: Log into the official EPFO Member Portal using your UAN and check detailed reports of your balance and transaction history.

· UMANG App: The UMANG app allows you to check your PF balance, download statements, and perform other services related to EPFO.

6. Important Things to Remember

· Registered mobile Number: Make sure your mobile number is updated in the EPFO records to avail this service.

· UAN Activation: If you haven’t activated your UAN, you must do so to use this service. UAN is a unique number assigned to every EPFO member and is crucial for accessing all EPFO-related services.
