Beginning Friday (July 1, 2011), people with accounts in the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) could check their PF balance online.
By using a simple process using EPFO’s portal, people could get to know the balance. After checking into the link provided for the purpose, account holders need to provide their account number and their mobile number. Details of the PF balance would be SMSed after completing the verification process.
The facility, however, is available for people with PF accounts with EPFO’s offices in Delhi (North), Delhi (South), Laxmi Nagar (Delhi), Gurgaon, Faridabad, Karnal and Bangalore. “Remaining offices will be added soon,” an EPFO official said.
