Provident Fund (PF) is the retirement fund for a lot of people and is an important investment option as it comes with assured fixed return. People usually want to know how much they have accumulated in their Employees' Provident Fund account.

Every employee of a company has a Universal Account Number or UAN as it is popularly called. Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) allows its members to check their Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) balance using Universal Account Number (UAN). This is a 12-digit number allocated to the employee by the Company with an active PF (Provident Fund) account.

However, with Umang app and EPFO portal, it's now easier to check EPF balance check online. You can even use the EPFO SMS service to know your balance.

Here is a way to check EPF account balance without a UAN number:

1. Users need to log in at the EPF home page of epfindia.gov.in
