New Delhi: The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) serves as an important retirement savings plan for salaried individuals, helping them build a financial cushion for the future. Both employees and employers contribute 12 per cent of the employee’s salary to this fund every month. To keep track of your growing savings, it’s important to regularly check your EPF balance. For this, you’ll need an active Universal Account Number (UAN) a unique ID mentioned on your salary slip that links all your PF accounts under one number.
You can easily check your EPF balance online through the official EPFO portal. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Visit the official EPFO website – https://www.epfindia.gov.in.
Step 2: Go to the “Our Services” section and click on “For Employees.”
Step 3: Select “Member Passbook” and log in with your Universal Account Number (UAN) and password.
Step 4: Once logged in, you’ll be able to view your updated PF balance and transaction details.

Another simple way to check your PF balance is by contacting your employer’s HR or finance department.
Most companies provide employees with regular access to their PF statements or can generate them on request. Employers have access to the EPFO portal, which allows them to download and share your latest PF balance details directly.
