Your Provident Fund (PF) account balance now available online
Your PF account details including the latest account balance can now be checked
online. Read on for more details.
A large chunk of your salary gets deducted every month in the form of
Provident Fund (PF). It is definitely money well invested, but it can get quite
difficult to know exactly how much you have in your PF account.
The PF office is supposed to give a statement of your PF account to your
employer every year, and your finance / accounts department is supposed to hand
that over to you. But many employees never get this yearly statement.
So, how can you find your PF account balance?
Provident Fund (PF) Details Online
Starting 1st July 2011, the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has
put provident fund (PF) account details online. This means that now you can
instantly know your PF account balance!
You can get your PF account details at: http://www.epfindia.com/MembBal.html
This facility has started from Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Karnal and Bangalore,
and is being rapidly extended to 120 more cities.
How can you know the PF balance - the procedure
The PF account details can be obtained online at
http://www.epfindia.com/MembBal.html
You would need to submit your PF account number and your mobile number to get
the details. You would also need to select the EPFO office where your account
is maintained.
On providing these details, your PF details would be delivered to your mobile
through an SMS.

Have your PF money in a private trust?
Some companies run their own PF trusts - the companies deposit your PF money
with these trusts for management instead of depositing it with the EPFO.
If you work for such a company, can you see your PF account details online?
Well, there is good news for you - the EPFO has asked such private PF trusts to
also post the account details online! This is expected to be done by the end of
July 2011.
