PF Balance Check: With Or Without UAN Number

Whether you’re an employee of a public or private company, you most likely have a provident fund that your employer contributes to on a monthly basis. If you’re wondering how you can check your provident fund balance, then you’ve landed on the right page. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to check your provident fund balance with or without a UAN number.

What Is A Provident Fund?

A Provident Fund, better known as an Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF), is a retirement savings scheme for salaried professionals, typically managed by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). It involves combined contributions from both employees and employers, which are deducted from the employee's monthly salary and deposited into their PF account.

What Is A UAN Number?

The UAN, or Universal Account Number, is a 12-digit account number for the employee’s provident fund account. It is the unique identification number assigned to every employee with a provident fund. This unique number is provided by the Indian government, operating under the Ministry of Employment and Labor, and is used to unify multiple EPF accounts of a single member.
