If you need to check your PF balance, what do you usually do? You visit the EPFO website, browse the Umang app or visit the nearest online kiosk. This can often take hours and waste valuable time. But now you don’t have to worry for hours as the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has issued a mobile number.
Just a missed call on this number will send your PF balance information to your phone. Yes, EPFO has issued a new helpline number, 9966044425, for the convenience of employees. You can get complete information about your PF balance through this.
How to check your PF balance?
According to EPFO, your mobile number should be registered in EPFO records. This means if your mobile number is registered, you just need to give a missed call to 9966044425. After a few seconds, you will receive an SMS with your EPF balance and last contribution information. However, remember to use the same mobile number registered with your EPFO account while making the call.
Who will benefit from this?
This facility is especially for those employees who do not want to log in to the EPFO portal or app repeatedly. This number is a boon for those who do not have access to the internet. Now, employees working in villages or small towns can also easily check their PF balance.
What is the purpose of EPFO?
EPFO says that the aim of this service is to provide employees with a more convenient and faster way to access PF information, thereby eliminating the hassle of searching for simple information related to their PF accounts. The organisation aims to provide digital and hassle-free services.
Can you also check your balance using these methods?
Apart from checking your PF balance through a missed call on the mobile number given above, you can also check your PF balance through the Umang app, EPFO website, or SMS service. To get the information through SMS, type:
EPFOHO UAN ENG and send it to 7738299899.
Note : ENG refers to English language. If you want PF information in Hindi, Marathi, or any other language, replace “ENG” with “HIN” for Hindi and “MAR” for Marathi.
It is worth noting that EPFO keeps releasing new updates for the convenience of its employees, which provides them significant relief.
