Want To Know Your EPF Balance? Here’s How To Check It With Or Without UAN
New Delhi: The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) serves as an important retirement savings plan for salaried individuals, helping them build a financial cushion for the future. Both employees and employers contribute 12 per cent of the employee’s salary to this fund every month. To keep track of your growing savings, it’s important to regularly check your EPF balance. For this, you’ll need an active Universal Account Number (UAN) a unique ID mentioned on your salary slip that links all your PF accounts under one number.
You can easily check your EPF balance online through the official EPFO portal. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Visit the official EPFO website – https://www.epfindia.gov.in.
Step 2: Go to the “Our Services” section and click on “For Employees.”
Step 3: Select “Member Passbook” and log in with your Universal Account Number (UAN) and password.
Step 4: Once logged in, you’ll be able to view your updated PF balance and transaction details.
If you prefer not to use the EPFO website, there are several other quick ways to check your PF balance:
1. Via SMS
Send an SMS to 7738299899.
Type “EPFOHO UAN ENG”, where “ENG” stands for English (you can also use “HIN” for Hindi or the first three letters of your preferred language).
You’ll receive an SMS with your latest PF balance and account details.
2. Via Missed Call
Give a missed call to 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number.
You’ll get an SMS with your current PF balance.
3. Through the UMANG App
Download the UMANG app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
Go to the “EPFO” section and log in using your UAN and OTP sent to your registered mobile.
Open your passbook to view the balance and contribution details.
4. Without a UAN
If you don’t have a UAN, you can still check your PF balance by contacting your employer’s HR department or visiting the nearest EPFO office with your PF account number and ID proof.
Another simple way to check your PF balance is by contacting your employer’s HR or finance department.
Most companies provide employees with regular access to their PF statements or can generate them on request. Employers have access to the EPFO portal, which allows them to download and share your latest PF balance details directly.
This method is especially useful if you’re facing issues with your UAN activation or online access.
New Delhi: InterGlobe Aviation, parent of IndiGo airlines, on Tuesday informed that it received a penalty order of around Rs 117.52 crore from the Joint Commissioner of Central Tax and Central Excise, CGST Kochi Commissionerate.
The order, which issued a penalty of Rs 1,17,52,86,402, relates to the denial of input tax credit for the financial years 2018–19 and 2021–22, the airline said in an exchange filing.
“The department has denied input tax credit (ITC) availed by the company and has issued a demand order along with a penalty,” the filing said.
“The company believes that the order passed by the authorities is erroneous. Further, the company believes that it has a strong case on merits, backed by advice from external tax advisors,” it further said.
Accordingly, the company will contest the same before the appropriate authority, it added.
InterGlobe Aviation added that the order does not have a significant impact on its financials, operations or other activities of the company.
“There is no significant impact on financials, operations or other activities of the Company,” it added in its regulatory filing.
Interglobe Aviation Limited shares dipped by Rs 95 or 1.64 per cent in intra-day trading. The shares had opened almost flat at Rs 5,794.50 apiece.
The carrier on November 29 announced new direct routes and frequency additions from Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), strengthening connectivity from the newly inaugurated gateway to key domestic destinations such as Coimbatore, Chennai, Vadodara and North Goa.
IndiGo earlier this week said it has completed the update on the mandatory Airbus system enhancement across its A320-family fleet after global flight operations were disrupted due to a software issue in the Airbus A320 family of aircraft.
All 200 aircraft have now been fully updated and compliant as required, said the Indian carrier.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, an IndiGo flight from Kuwait to Hyderabad was diverted to Mumbai after authorities at Hyderabad Airport received a bomb threat.
Official sources confirmed that flight 6E-1234 was diverted midair after a threat message was received at the customer support at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) at 05.12 a.m.

Ponmudi R, CEO of Enrich Money, said, “Gold and silver prices rose sharply, with gold touching a six-week high and silver rallying to fresh records as expectations of Fed rate cuts strengthened. Weak US economic data, a softer dollar index, and dovish Fed comments added pressure for policy easing. Continued contraction in the manufacturing sector also boosted rate-cut bets. Silver’s technical setup has turned increasingly bullish, prompting traders to add long positions. Market participants are now awaiting the ADP jobs report and the delayed PCE data for further cues.”
What Factors Affect Gold Prices In India?
International market rates, import duties, taxes, and fluctuations in exchange rates primarily influence gold prices in India. Together, these factors determine the daily gold rates across the country.
In India, gold is deeply cultural and financial. It is a preferred investment option and is key to celebrations, particularly weddings and festivals.
With constantly changing market conditions, investors and traders monitor fluctuations closely. Staying updated is crucial for effectively navigating dynamic trends.
