How to check EPF balance:  Planning for retirement and ensuring financial security is an important aspect of everyone’s life. One of the main ways to save for retirement in India is the “Employees Provident Fund’ (EPF). The government savings plan aims to help employees make the most of their working years and ensure a comfortable future. Recognizing the importance of keeping updated with your EPF account balance, EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organization) has introduced many ways for employees to check their EPF balance online and offline.

Earlier, employees had to rely on the annual EPF statement shared by their employers to get an idea of the balance in their provident fund account. But, With recent developments, checking EPF balance has become super easy and accessible. Below are the different ways to check employee EPF balance.
