EPFO: Your PF balance will be known with just one missed call; EPFO has released a useful number...
If you have to log in to a website or app every time you check your PF balance, now there's an easier way. You won't have to waste time on the website or wait in line at the Umang app or kiosk. The EPFO has released a mobile number where a single missed call will bring complete PF account information directly to your phone.
Save this useful number in your phone.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has released the number 9966044425 for the convenience of employees. Simply give this number a missed call, and within a few seconds, you will receive an SMS with your PF balance and last contribution information.
Only employees whose mobile number is already registered in the EPFO records will be able to avail of this service. This means the missed call must be made from the number linked to your PF account.
You can check your balance even without the internet.
This new service from the EPFO is specifically for employees who don't have internet access or don't want to log in to the portal or app repeatedly. Now, even employees working in villages, small towns, or factories will be able to instantly check their PF balance with just a missed call.
The EPFO states that the purpose of this service is to provide employees with a fast, easy, and hassle-free way to check their PF balance, eliminating the need to spend hours on websites or apps for trivial information. Additionally, it aims to provide employees with the most digital and convenient service.
You can also check your PF balance through these methods.
If you don't want to use the missed call service, you can check your PF balance through other EPFO services. You can also check your balance through the Umang app, the EPFO website, or the SMS service.
To receive information via SMS, type:
EPFOHO UAN ENG from your mobile and send it to 7738299899.
Here, "ENG" stands for English. If you want information in your language, replace "ENG" with your language code, such as HIN for Hindi, MAR for Marathi, etc.
EPFO periodically introduces new changes to its services to provide employees with fast, reliable, and convenient services. With the missed call service, millions of employees will no longer have to go through the hassle of checking their PF balance.
