Do you want to check your Provident Fund (PF) balance but are facing trouble logging into the EPFO website? Or perhaps you don’t have time to go online? No worries—Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) offers two quick and easy offline methods to check your PF balance without internet: via missed call and SMS.

✅ Why the EPFO Website May Not Work Sometimes

Normally, users check their balance on the official EPFO passbook website (passbook.epfindia.gov.in). However, there are several reasons you might face issues:

• Website overload due to heavy traffic

• Maintenance or technical upgrades

• Incorrect UAN, password, or registered mobile number

• Incomplete KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account not linked)

• Browser issues or cache problems

• No time to log in manually

In such cases, missed call and SMS services are the best alternatives.

📞 How to Check PF Balance via Missed Call

EPFO’s missed call facility is completely free and instant. Here's how to use it:

✔️ Requirements:

• Your mobile number must be registered with your UAN

• Your KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, or bank account) must be linked to your UAN

🧾 Steps:

1. Dial 9966044425 from your registered mobile number.

2. Let it ring for 2-3 seconds — the call will disconnect automatically.

3. You’ll receive an SMS with your PF balance and last contribution details.

Note: This service is only available for UAN holders with completed KYC.

SMS is another simple and reliable offline method to check your PF balance.

✔️ Requirements:

• Aadhaar, PAN, and bank details should be linked with the EPF account

• eKYC should be completed
