How to check  PF balance without logging in to your UAN account

EPF, or Employee Provident Fund, is a government-backed retirement savings scheme that is applicable to all salaried employees in India. It is a mandatory scheme that requires both the employer and the employee to contribute a certain percentage of the employee's salary to the EPF account. The EPF scheme is managed by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), which is a statutory body under the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India.

As an EPF member, it is essential to keep track of your EPF balance to ensure that your contributions are being credited correctly. Checking your EPF balance can be done easily, even without logging in to your UAN (Universal Account Number). In this article, we will discuss three simple ways to check your EPF balance without logging in to your UAN.

Using the UMANG app

The UMANG app is a mobile application that offers a variety of government services, including EPF-related services. To check your EPF balance using the UMANG app, you need to download and install the app on your smartphone.
