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.
Check PF Balance Instantly with a Missed Call
If your mobile number is linked to your Universal Account Number (UAN) and your UAN is activated, checking your PF balance can be as easy as giving a missed call. Simply dial 9966044425 from your registered mobile number. The call disconnects automatically, and within moments, you’ll receive an SMS showing your current balance and your employer’s latest contribution. It’s quick, free, and requires no internet connection.
Get Your PF Details via SMS
Prefer texting? You can receive your EPF balance by sending an SMS in this format:
EPFOHO UAN ENG to 7738299899
(Replace ENG with the first three letters of your preferred language, e.g., HIN for Hindi, TAM for Tamil.)
