How to check PF balance

Best SIP Funds to Invest Online 


As an employee whose provident gets deducted every month it is now not required to wait till the end of the year for the statement of your Employee Provident Fund provided by your employer. As a member of Employee' Provident Fund Organisation it is very easy to check PF balance statement anytime through online through app, EPFO portal, SMS or even as simple as giving a missed call.

Below are 4 different ways to check PF balance:

1. Using EPFO portal

Alternative to the unified PF portal, employees can now be able to access their Provident Fund statement on a different website managed by the EPFO. The unified portal is still a valid site to be used for any PF transfers.

It is necessary that your account has been tagged with the unique Universal Account Number (UAN). If it is done then it is very simple to download or print your statement from the website.

Step 1: The statement can be downloaded from the website www.epfindia.gov.in
Step 2: Go to 'For Employees' under 'Our Services'
Step 3: Click on 'Member Passbook' under 'Services'
Also, you can directly go to the page – https://passbook.epfindia.gov.in/MemberPassBook/Login.jsp 


Again, it is mandatory that the UAN is activated by the employer to access the statement. This facility is available only to members who are not exempted under the EPF scheme of 1952.

2. By sending an SMS

You can also check PF balance over an SMS. If your unique UAN number has been registered with EPFO, you can get details of your latest statement and the Provident Fund balance by sending an SMS text as "EPFOHO <UAN><ENG>" to 7738299899 where <ENG> is the first three characters of the preferred language. So, if you want to receive the message in Hindi, then type in EPFOHO UAN HIN.


This SMS facility is available in Hindi, Tamil, Punjabi, Malayalam, English, Marathi, Telugu, Gujarati, Kannada and Bengali. EPFO can only send details of members available with it. So, make sure your UAN is seeded with your bank account, Aadhaar and PAN, else ask your employer to seed them for you.


3. By giving a missed call

Now a missed call to 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number can provide you the current statement of your PF account provided your UAN and the registered mobile number is seeded to the UAN portal and your UAN is having a registered valid account number, Aadhar Number and PAN. You can ask your Employer to do so if it is not already done.

4. By using the EPFO app

You can download the m-sewa app of EPFO and then navigate to "Member" and then to "Balance/Passbook". You can provide the details of the UAN number and registered mobile number to get the updated EPF statement.

All about "Derivatives"

What are derivatives? Derivatives are financial instruments, which as the name suggests, derive their value from another asset — called the underlying. What are the typical underlying assets? Any asset, whose price is dynamic, probably has a derivative contract today. The most popular ones being stocks, indices, precious metals, commodities, agro products, currencies, etc. Why were they invented? In an increasingly dynamic world, prices of virtually all assets keep changing, thereby exposing participants to price risks. Hence, derivatives were invented to negate these price fluctuations. For example, a wheat farmer expects to sell his crop at the current price of Rs 10/kg and make profits of Rs 2/kg. But, by the time his crop is ready, the price of wheat may have gone down to Rs 5/kg, making him sell his crop at a loss of Rs 3/kg. In order to avoid this, he may enter into a forward contract, agreeing to sell wheat at Rs 10/ kg, right at the outset. So, even if the price of wheat falls ...

SBI bonds FAQ

  Maximum retail subscription and over – subscription There is a lot of excitement around these bonds, so I won't be surprised if they get over-subscribed on the first day itself. So, I thought Sameer asked a very good question about over-subscription. Here is that discussion. Here are some other questions that you may find useful. Can I trade the SBI bonds on NSE after it lists? Yes, these can be traded after listing. Where can I get the application forms, and can I buy the bonds online?

ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund

 ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund scheme seeks to generate long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing in a portfolio that is investing in equities and related securities as well as fixed income and money market securities. The approximate allocation to equity would be in the range of 60-80 per cent with a minimum of 51 per cent, and the approximate debt allocation is 40-49 per cent, with a minimum of 20 per cent. An impressive show in the last couple of years has propelled this fund from a three-star to a four-star rating. The fund has traditionally featured a high equity allocation, hovering at well over 70 per cent, which is higher than the allocations of the peers. But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio. ICICI Prudential Balanced Fund appears to practise some degree of tactical allocation based on market valuations. Within equities, well over two-thirds of the allocation is parked i...

Fortis Mutual Fund

Fortis Mutual Fund, a relatively new player, it is still to prove its case and define its position in the industry. In September 2004, it came onto the scene with a bang - three debt schemes, one MIP and one diversified equity scheme. And investors flocked to it. Going by the standards at that time, it had a great start in terms of garnering money. Mopping up over Rs 2,000 crore in five schemes was not bad at all. The fund house has not been too successful in the equity arena, in terms of assets. Though it has seven equity schemes, it is debt and cash funds that corner the major portion of the assets. Most of the schemes are pretty new, and the two that have been around for a while have a 3-star rating each. The last two were Fortis Sustainable Development (April 2007), which received a rather poor response, and Fortis China India (October 2007). Fortis Flexi Debt has been one of the better performing funds, after a dismal performance in 2005. It currently has a 5-star rating. None ...
