Checking your PF balance no longer requires you to visit an EPFO office or log in to the website every time. If your UAN is activated and your mobile number is registered with EPFO, you can check your latest PF balance and contribution details simply by giving a missed call from your registered mobile number. The service is free and works even without an internet connection.
This can be particularly useful when you want to quickly confirm whether your employer’s latest contribution has been credited or check your approximate EPF balance before making a withdrawal or transfer request.
What Is the EPFO Missed Call Service?
EPFO provides a missed call facility that allows eligible members to receive their latest PF balance and contribution information through SMS. The service is connected to your UAN records, so the call must be made from the mobile number registered with your UAN.
The service can provide information about your latest contribution and PF balance, provided the required KYC information is seeded with your UAN.
EPFO PF Balance Missed Call Number
The official EPFO missed call number for PF balance enquiry is:
9966044425
You need to call this number from the mobile number registered with your UAN. The call automatically disconnects after a short time, and there is no charge for using the service.
Requirements to Check PF Balance by Missed Call
Before using the service, make sure:
- Your UAN is activated.
- Your mobile number is registered with your UAN.
- At least one required KYC detail, such as Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account, is seeded with your UAN.
- You are calling from the registered mobile number.
How to Check PF Balance by Missed Call
The process is very simple.
Step 1: Use Your Registered Mobile Number
Take the mobile phone whose number is registered with your EPFO UAN.
Step 2: Give a Missed Call
Dial 9966044425.
You don’t need to speak to an operator or stay on the call. The call will automatically disconnect after a couple of rings.
Step 3: Wait for the SMS
After the missed call is disconnected, EPFO sends an SMS containing your available PF information, including your latest contribution and PF balance, when the service requirements are satisfied.
What Information Can You Receive?
The missed call facility can provide information such as:
- Latest PF contribution
- Available PF balance
- Certain account or KYC-related information
For a complete month-by-month transaction history, you should use the EPFO Member Passbook instead.
What If You Don’t Receive the SMS?
If you don’t receive the balance message, check whether your mobile number is registered with your UAN and whether your UAN is activated. You should also make sure that Aadhaar, PAN, or your bank account is properly seeded with the UAN.
Temporary technical issues can also affect EPFO services. If the problem continues, you can use the official EPFO Passbook service or contact EPFO for assistance.
Check PF Balance Online
If you want a detailed record rather than just your balance, you can log in to the official EPFO Member Passbook portal using your UAN and password. The passbook provides transaction-level information and allows you to review your employee contributions, employer contributions, and interest entries.
Check PF Balance Through SMS
EPFO also provides an SMS-based balance enquiry service. From your registered mobile number, send:
EPFOHO UAN
to 7738299899.
The official EPFO Member Passbook website currently lists this SMS option alongside the missed-call facility.
Common Reasons the Missed Call Service May Not Work
The service may not respond if:
- The call is made from an unregistered mobile number.
- Your UAN is not activated.
- Required KYC details are not seeded with your UAN.
- Your EPFO records contain incorrect information.
- There is a temporary technical issue.
If you recently changed your mobile number, make sure your EPFO records have been updated before trying the service again.
Is the Missed Call Service Free?
Yes. EPFO states that there is no cost to the member for using the missed call facility.
Stay Safe From PF Fraud
Never share your UAN password, Aadhaar details, PAN, bank information, or OTP with someone claiming to be an EPFO representative. EPFO specifically warns members not to share personal or financial information or make payments based on unsolicited calls or messages.
