Check Your EPF Balance with Ease: A Step-by-Step Guide
Want to keep track of your Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) balance? Here's a simple guide to help you access your EPF details via the DigiLocker app.
Step 1: Download and Log in
Begin by downloading the DigiLocker app from your smartphone's app store. Once installed, log in or register on the app using your mobile number and completing the verification process.
Step 2: Link Your EPFO Account
Next, provide your Aadhaar number in the app to link your EPFO account with DigiLocker. This will sync your EPFO account with the platform.
Step 3: Navigate to the EPFO Section
Once linked, navigate to the EPFO section within DigiLocker. Here, you can access important EPFO documents such as your UAN card, Pension Payment Order (PPO), and PF passbook.
Step 4: View Your EPF Balance
Open the PF passbook or related document to view your latest EPF balance and transaction details. This integration allows EPFO members to conveniently check and download PF-related documents anytime, anywhere through DigiLocker.
Alternative Methods
If you face issues or do not have internet access, you can alternatively check the PF balance through the EPFO Member Portal, UMANG app, SMS, or missed calls. iOS users can currently access the PF passbook via the UMANG app, while Android users can use DigiLocker for this purpose.
Checking Your PF Balance via SMS or Missed Call
To check your PF balance via missed call, give a missed call to 9966044425. For SMS-based verification, send an SMS in the "EPFOHO UAN" format to 7738299899.
Notes

- An SMS with the latest PF balance and details will be received after sending the SMS.
