For millions of salaried employees, the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) is one of the most important savings tools for the future.
Every month, both the employee and employer contribute to the EPF account, helping build a retirement fund over time.
Because of this, employees often want to know how much money has been deposited into their PF account and what their current balance is.
The good news is that EPFO has made this process extremely simple.
You can now check your PF balance in just a few seconds without using the internet, downloading an app, or paying any charges.
Check PF Balance Through a Missed Call
EPFO offers a free missed call service that allows employees to get their PF balance instantly.
All you need to do is give a missed call to 9966044425 from your registered mobile number.
The call will automatically disconnect after a few rings.
Within a short time, you will receive an SMS containing details of your PF balance and recent contributions made to your account.
This is one of the fastest and easiest ways to check your EPF balance.
