How to check EPF balance even if you don't remember UAN number

In case users forget the UAN, they can still check PF balance by giving a missed call on 011-229014016 from the registered mobile number. In this case, users are not required to provide the UAN number. However, they need to be registered on the UAN portal and have the KYC details seeded in their account.

Go to EPFO’s website and click on ‘activate UAN’ on the bottom-right corner of page

Step 2: Enter the UAN, name, date of birth, mobile number, and captcha. The UAN is an identification number mentioned in the monthly salary slip of an employee. It is unique for every employee enrolled under the EPF scheme.

Step 3: Verify all the details on the EPFO page and submit

Step 4: Now, an OTP will be received on the mobile number

Step 5: Enter OTP and click 'Validate OTP and Activate UAN'

This will activate the UAN and the password will be sent to the mobile number. Subscribers can, however, check PF balance only six hours after activating UAN.
