How Can You Check Your PF Balance Without an Internet Connection? Learn the Easiest Method..

How to Check PF Balance: If you are a salaried employee, you are likely already familiar with the concept of PF. The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement savings scheme wherein both the employee and the employer contribute a portion of the monthly salary. This accumulated amount can be withdrawn upon retirement or in the event of job loss. If PF contributions are deducted from your salary, it is crucial to check your PF balance periodically. But did you know that you can easily check your PF balance on your phone in just a few minutes, even without an internet connection? You won't even need to log in anywhere to do so. Let's find out exactly what you need to do...

How to Check PF Balance Without an Internet Connection?
To check your PF balance without an internet connection, you need to send a message via SMS from your registered mobile number. However, please note that for this facility to work, it is essential that your mobile number is linked to your UAN (Universal Account Number). Additionally, the format of the message must be precise; otherwise, you will not be able to check your PF balance via SMS.

How to Send the SMS?
To check your PF balance without an internet connection, you need to send an SMS to 7738299899. Open your messaging app and type an SMS in the format 'EPFOHO UAN ENG'. Here, instead of 'ENG', you can enter the first three letters of your preferred language. Once typed, send the SMS. You will then receive information regarding your PF balance directly on your mobile phone.

You Can Also Check via a Missed Call
You can also check your PF balance without an internet connection by simply placing a missed call. To do this, call 9966044425 from your registered mobile number. The call will disconnect automatically, and shortly thereafter, you will receive your PF balance and related details via SMS.
