EPFO: How To Check PF Balance Via UMANG App, SMS, and More
Imagine you have a piggy bank for when you get old, called a PF.
Every month, a little bit of your money and a little bit from your boss goes into it.
The EPFO is the company that takes care of these piggy banks for many workers.
You can check how much money is in your piggy bank in a few easy ways.
You can use a special phone app called UMANG, or visit the EPFO website on a computer.
You can also give a missed call from your phone, and they'll text you the balance.
Or, you can send a text message with your special code.
These ways help you see how much you've saved and how much your boss has added.
EPF balance can be checked using the UMANG app, EPFO portal, via missed call, or SMS.
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) helps salaried employees build a retirement corpus.
Contributions are generally 12% of basic salary and dearness allowance from both employee and employer.
The UMANG app and EPFO portal allow viewing detailed passbooks after logging in with UAN and OTP/password.
Missed call to 9966044425 or SMS to a designated number provides PF balance and contribution details, provided UAN is linked to Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account.
