EPFO WhatsApp Service: EPFO ​​has launched a new feature to check your PF balance on WhatsApp. Now, simply send "Hi" to a single number to get your passbook and last 5 transaction details. Learn the complete procedure and necessary precautions.

For employed people, PF, or Provident Fund, is an important part of their future savings. But until now, to know how much money has been deposited in the account, how much the company has contributed, and when the last transaction took place, one had to resort to the EPFO ​​portal. Now, to simplify this hassle, the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has launched a new facility. Under this, employees can get information about their PF balance, passbook, and last five transactions directly on WhatsApp. For this, you just have to write 'Hi' and send it to a number.

EPFO started WhatsApp service

On November 1, 2026, the EPFO ​​launched a new WhatsApp-based service to mark its 74th Foundation Day. Its goal is to provide easy access to PF-related services to millions of employees. Now, there will be less need to log in to the EPFO ​​website or visit the office for minor information.

You must send it to this number.

To access PF information on WhatsApp, the EPFO ​​has issued the number +91 8796441800. Employees can access this facility using their UAN-registered mobile number. Please note that you should only communicate with the EPFO's officially verified WhatsApp account.

How to check PF balance on WhatsApp

To use this feature, follow these steps:

1. First of all open WhatsApp.
2. Search the number +91 8796441800.
3. Send Hi to the verified account of EPFO.
4. Select your language as per the chatbot instructions.
5. Select the PF Balance option in the menu of available services.
6. Complete the necessary verification and check your balance.

Passbook and last 5 transactions will also be available

The new WhatsApp service will provide employees with more than just PF balance information, but also other features. It will also provide access to EPF passbook information and the last five transactions in their accounts. It will also provide personalized guidance on eligibility and procedures for the Pradhan Mantri Vikas Bharat Rojgar Yojana (PMVBRY).

Pay special attention to these things

It's important to maintain security when accessing PF information on WhatsApp. Never share your UAN password, OTP, or banking details with an unknown number. Use only officially verified numbers. Note that this feature is currently limited to balance, passbook, and transaction information, not PF withdrawals. If the chatbot doesn't respond, try again later.
