How to Check PF Balance Online via DigiLocker, EPFO Portal, UMANG App & SMS
EPFO Introduces DigiLocker Integration
Check Your PF Balance Easily
The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced a major digital upgrade for its members. Now, EPFO members can access key Provident Fund (PF) services directly through the DigiLocker app, making it easier to view and download PF-related documents.
This integration enhances convenience, allowing users to access their PF information anytime, anywhere, without relying solely on traditional portals or physical documents.
What Documents Can You Access via DigiLocker?
With DigiLocker, EPFO members can now access the following documents:
- UAN Card – Universal Account Number card linked to your PF account
- Pension Payment Order (PPO) – Details of pension for retired employees
- Scheme Certificate – Certificate for PF scheme participation
- PF Passbook – Overview of contributions, withdrawals, and balance
While the PF passbook is still available on the UMANG app, DigiLocker provides a faster and more streamlined option for members to check their PF details.
