Check how much PF was deducted this month following the wage ceiling—do it in a minute from the comfort of your home..

The Central Government recently raised the wage ceiling limit from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000, a move set to benefit over 51 lakh employees across the country. With this change, you might be wondering how to check the PF amount deducted from your salary. If you wish to check your PF account, here is how you can do it from the comfort of your home.

What are the ways to check your PF balance?
You can check your PF balance by giving a missed call, sending an SMS, or using the UMANG app. This will provide clarity on the amount deposited into your PF account for the month.

1. Check balance via missed call

If you are looking for the easiest method, the missed call option is the best choice:

Give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number.
The call will disconnect automatically after two rings; this service is completely free.
You will then receive a message from EPFO ​​containing details such as your PF balance, name, date of birth, and other information.
Please note that for this to work, your mobile number must be registered in the PF records, and your UAN must be active.

2. Check via SMS

To use this method, send a message with the text "EPFOHO UAN HIN" to 7738299899 from your registered mobile number.
Shortly after sending the message, you will receive a reply from EPFO ​​containing all the details of your PF account.

3. The UMANG App Can Also Help

Smartphone users can easily check their balance using the UMANG app:
First, download the UMANG app from the Google Play Store or App Store on your phone.
Register on the app using your EPFO-registered mobile number.
Next, search for 'EPFO' in the app's search bar.
Then, click on the 'View Passbook' option.
Enter your UAN.
You will receive an OTP on your registered mobile number; once you enter it, you will be able to easily view your PF balance.

Why is it important to check your PF?
It is essential for every employee to check their PF passbook monthly. This is because there have been instances where a company deducted the PF amount but failed to deposit it into the account. Additionally, employees are often unaware of the exact amount of PF being deducted from their salaries. Therefore, checking your PF periodically is a wise move, as it allows you to plan for the future more effectively.
