EPF Website Down? Here’s How You Can Instantly Check Your PF Balance Via SMS Or Missed Call

For millions of salaried employees in India, the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) plays a vital role in long-term financial planning and retirement savings. But what happens when the EPFO portal or app refuses to load or crashes due to technical issues or high traffic? You don’t need to panic. There are easy, reliable offline ways to access your Provident Fund (PF) balance—no internet or login required.

As long as your mobile number is linked to your UAN and your KYC details are up to date, you’ll get a message with your current balance and contribution details.

• Your UAN is activated
• Your KYC is updated (Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account linked)
• Your mobile number is registered with EPFO

If your number has changed recently, you’ll need to update it via your employer to continue receiving balance alerts.
