EPFO website down? Check your PF balance with SMS or missed calls

New Delhi. The website of Employees Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) across India has once again gone down. The EPFO ​​website has been down several times with a few days. In such a situation, if you are also troubled by the technical problems coming again and again, then we have a solution to your problem. An important part of the financial plan of salaried employees is Provident Fund (PF), but it has become difficult to access it due to frequent website down, OTP failure and login problems.

PF is made by monthly contribution by the fund employee and employer. It is a government -backed long -term scheme, which earns an annual interest rate, which increases to a good fund in years. PF also provides financial assistance during emergency conditions such as illness or unemployment. That is why it is important to keep track of PF balance and ensure all the necessary compliance (eg in terms of job changes) so that there is no inconvenience later. The government has introduced many options to make it more accessible. Customers can check their PF balance through SMS and missed-call services, even if the website is down. Learn how to know here:
