Every month, a fixed amount from the salary of almost every working person is deposited in PF i.e. Employees Provident Fund. This money provides financial support after retirement and also gives the option of partial withdrawal if needed. In such a situation, it becomes important for every employee to know how much amount is deposited in his PF account. Earlier, to know the PF balance one had to visit the office. But now most of the work has become online. However, sometimes it happens that the employee does not remember his UAN number or it is not active. In such a situation, people think that balance cannot be checked without UAN, but it is not so. PF balance can be checked even without UAN. Let us now tell you how to find out PF balance without UAN number.
You can check PF balance through missed call
If your mobile number is linked to the EPF account then you can get the balance information by just giving a missed call. For this, first of all give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number. Then the call will be disconnected automatically. After this, within a few seconds an SMS will come on your mobile which will contain information about member ID, last deposit amount and total balance. Keep in mind that this facility will work only when your UAN is active and Aadhaar, PAN or bank details are updated in KYC.
You can also check balance through SMS
You can also check your PF balance through SMS without UAN number. For this you will have to send a message to 7738299899 from your registered mobile number. You keep the message format EPFOHO UAN ENG on this number. In this, ENG stands for language. In such a situation, if you want information in Hindi, you can also write HIN. After this, after some time of sending the message, the details of PF balance will come on your mobile.
What things should be kept in mind while checking PF balance?
In many companies, PF is managed by a private trust. In such a situation, the balance is not visible to the employees on the EPFO portal. Therefore, they can get information from their salary slip, company’s internal portal or HR department. While checking PF balance, always keep in mind that your mobile number should be linked to the EPF account. It is necessary to have active UAN, Aadhaar, PAN and bank details should be updated in KYC. Keep in mind that if UAN has been activated recently, it may take some time for the passbook to appear.
