Check your EPF balance online

You can check your EPF (Employee provident fund) balance online here: Know Your EPF Balance. This service was launched on 1st July, 2011.

On 24th July, 2012, another website to check monthly balance is also launched by EPF department. The EPFO subscribers can get their statement of accounts online on this website: EPF Member Portal. In order to avail this facility, the active subscribers would have to register themselves on the EPFO portal by furnishing their account details. The facility to obtain e-passbook will be available only for active members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and would not be extended to those whose accounts are inoperative, settled or have negative balance.

Steps:

  1. Please click on the above link to know the balance in your EPF Account upto the date.
  2. Select the EPFO office where your account is maintained and furnish your PF Account number.
  3. Leave the extension field blank, in case your account does not have one.
  4. You will be asked to enter your name and mobile number. The given mobile number will be recorded along with the PF Account Number.
  5. On successful submission of above information, the details will be sent through SMS to the given mobile number.

We tested this out and were little disappointed as balance was only shown upto 31-03-2009 for two of our accounts, for others it says ‘Invalid Member Id’.

Account balance SMS from PF department will have following structure:
EPF Balance in A/C No. OFFICE-CODE/OFFICE-SUB-CODE/EMPLOYER-ACC-NO//EMPLOYEE-ACC-NO is EE Amt: Rs XXX, ER Amt: Rs. YYY as on 30-06-11 (Accounts updated upto 31-03-2009)-EPFO

  • Hi All

    I have sent a mail to the EPFO support team:

    Hello The Support Team,

    This is very sad that the government agencies does not check their work on testing servers before make it live. This is again a very shameful example by government employees (good for nothing).

    Whatever PF account we are inserting we always the Invalid ID message. The reason Behind it is the INCORRECT FORMAT ASKED IN FORM for PF ACCOUNT number..

    I am pretty much sure that your famous ignoring behavior will work with my mail as well.. YOU WILL IGNORE THIS MAIL AS WELL... and will never fix this untill your so called 5 year process plan will not executed.

    If you really7 have a sense of DIGNITY in you, then do take the initiatives and stop spoiling name of INDIANS, INDIAN GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES, and especially INDIAN SOFTWARE ENGINEERS to whom half of the world is dependent....

    ===========================

    i request you all to do the same and mail to support-gms@epfindia.gov.in
    It might be the case that email is never gonna checked because they might not aware of accessing the emails..
