EPFO integrates with DigiLocker for easy access to PF documents and balance.
Members can now download UAN card, PPO, and Scheme Certificate via the app.
PF balance can still be checked through the EPFO portal, UMANG app, SMS, or missed call.
The government has rolled out a significant update for Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) members, expanding digital access to key services. Recently, EPFO announced that members can now access their PF-related documents and check their balance directly via the DigiLocker app on Android smartphones. This update will allow users to view and download important EPFO documents such as the UAN card, Pension Payment Order (PPO), and Scheme Certificate through DigiLocker.
SurveyPreviously, the facility to check and download the PF passbook was available through the UMANG app. While that service remains active, the integration with DigiLocker offers a more convenient way to access the PF balance.
How to check EPF balance on DigiLocker?
- To access the EPF balance on Digilocker, first download the DigiLocker from your smartphone’s app store.
- Next, log in/register yourself on the app or create a new account.
- Now, link your EPFO by using your Aadhaar and follow the steps to sync your EPFO account.
- Once done, access Documents by going to the EPFO section to find your passbook, UAN card, and PPO.
- Now, you can check your latest PF balance and transaction details directly in the app.
Those without internet access or facing issues with the app can still check their PF balance via the EPFO Member Portal, UMANG app and SMS.
