Checked 16 October 2026. EPFO can change its service routes and short codes, so confirm the live instructions before sending a message or calling.
EPFO’s Member Passbook service shows transactions recorded for the member IDs linked to an account. It can help you compare contributions with payslips, but a passbook entry alone does not confirm that every employer filing is complete or that a recent contribution has already appeared.
View the official EPF passbook
- Open the EPFO Member Passbook portal.
- Sign in with your UAN and the current login credentials requested by EPFO.
- Select the relevant member ID and review the transaction months, employee share, employer share and pension contribution entries.
- Compare entries with the relevant payslips and employment periods. Save a copy for your records if the portal offers a download.
If you cannot access the passbook, check the portal notice and EPFO help instructions. Passbook access and posting times can vary with account type, employer records and service availability.
Use the UMANG app
EPFO provides member services through the Government of India’s UMANG app. Find the EPFO member passbook service in the app and follow the current prompts. EPFO’s member portal says that new UAN generation and activation are now available through UMANG. The current activation flow uses Aadhaar face authentication; follow the official steps if you need to activate an account. Do not rely on screenshots or menu labels from older guides.
Check EPFO’s SMS and missed-call options
The live EPFO passbook page currently lists a missed-call balance enquiry at 9966044425 and an SMS to 7738299899 in the format EPFOHO UAN <LAN>. Send the message or call from the mobile number registered with your UAN, and check EPFO’s live page for prerequisites and the current language code. Older articles list a different missed-call number, so do not use an old number without confirming it on EPFO’s site.
These services provide a brief balance enquiry. Use the passbook for transaction details. If the service does not respond, check that the registered mobile and account details are correct, then use the official passbook or member portal instead.
How to investigate a missing or unexpected entry
- Check that you selected the member ID and wage month for the employment you are reviewing.
- Compare the passbook with payslips and the employer’s contribution and payment records.
- If a recent month is not visible, ask payroll to verify the ECR filing and payment status. Posting time can vary, so a missing entry does not by itself prove that the employer failed to pay.
- If an old member ID, transfer or contribution remains unresolved, use EPFO’s official grievance route and keep the relevant records.
Never share your UAN password, Aadhaar, bank details or OTP with someone who contacts you. EPFO warns members about calls or messages asking for personal or payment information. Use official EPFO and UMANG services rather than third-party apps that request your login.
See our EPF passbook guide for help reading transaction entries. The EPF calculator can estimate a future balance from assumptions, but it cannot verify an actual EPFO account.
