For the last few years, the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has been continuously improving its service, so that crores of members can easily take advantage of EPF facilities. At the same time, to take advantage of most of the facilities related to EPF, the members need to have a Universal Account Number i.e. UAN. But there are still many such EPF members who do not have UAN.
You can check PF balance even if you do not have UAN.
If you also do not have UAN, then you do not need to worry. In this news, we will tell you that you can check your PF balance in minutes even without UAN sitting at home. Actually, EPF members can check their PF balance through missed call and SMS if they do not have a Universal Account Number. Let us know about it in detail.
How to check PF balance through SMS
To check PF balance through SMS, first you have to send an SMS from the registered mobile number to 7738299899. Its format will be as follows: 'EPFOHO UAN [selected language code]'
For example: If you want updates in English language, then you have to write "EPFOHO UAN ENG" in the SMS, whereas to get information in Marathi, you have to use the code "EPFOHO UAN MAR". Similarly, you can get updates by sending the code of the language you want.
Let us tell you that only those members will be able to avail this service, whose Universal Account is active and is linked to bank account, Aadhaar and PAN. If your UAN is not linked to bank account and Aadhaar, then you should first complete the e-KYC verification.
