Why You Can't Check Your PF Balance
If you are having trouble checking your PF balance, it may be because of one of these reasons:
- Mobile number not linked
You must use the same mobile number that is linked with your UAN. If you changed your number, update it on the EPFO website.
- UAN not active
Even if you have a UAN, it will not work unless you activate it online.
- Details do not match
If your Aadhaar name and PF account name are different, your KYC will fail, and services may stop. You will need to fix it using a Joint Declaration Form.
- Passbook not showing
This can happen if:
You work in an exempt company, orYou just activated your UAN. Wait up to 24 hours after activation.
