Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) e-passbook facility on the EPFO website was recently unavailable for many users due to a server issue. Several EPF subscribers complained about not being able to access their e-passbooks on the official website.

How to Check EPF Balance

You can check your EPF balance through a simple SMS or missed call. To access this feature, you need to ensure that your mobile number is registered with the EPFO and linked to your Universal Account Number (UAN).

You can then send an SMS with the message "EPFOHO UAN" to the number 7738299899 from your registered mobile number or give a missed call to 9966044425. Within a few seconds, you will receive an SMS containing your latest PF balance along with other relevant details such as their UAN and the last contribution received. If a member has multiple member IDs linked to the same UAN, they will receive the balances for all of them in the same SMS.

Alternatively, you can also check your EPF e-passbook using the UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app. Here are the steps to check the e-passbook using the UMANG app:
