Easy Steps to Check PF Account Balance Online & Offline

EPF is a retirement benefits scheme in which both Employee and Employer, make a contribution to the Employee’s PF account. It is mandatory for every company with more than 20 employees to get itself registered with EPFO (Employees Provident Fund Organisation of India), so chances are quite high that almost every salaried person has faced problems in checking their PF balance at-least once in their lifetime.

Earlier the inquiry for balance in PF account was very cumbersome, a lot of forms were required to be filled, but with time the process to check PF balance has been made easier. Now anyone can check their Provident Fund balances within few seconds.

Here we are sharing the different methods through which one can keep a track of their PF account.
