The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) allows its members to check or withdraw their EPF balance using a Universal Account Number (UAN). An employee can avail a variety of ways to check their PF balance, such as – via the UMANG app, through the EPFO portal, by giving a missed call on 011-229014016 from their registered mobile number, and through a dedicated SMS service.
The SMS and call facilities will work for those who have seeded their UAN number with their KYC details. Employees need only type EPFOHO UAN ENG, send the text to the number 7738299899, and they will receive their PF details on their phone.
