EPF Passbook Login: How To Check Balance Without UAN Or Password? Here’s a Step-By-Step Guide

The Employment Provident Fund Scheme (EPF) is beneficial for employees to accumulate a sizeable corpus for retirement. EPF is managed by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation. EPF contribution is mandatory for employees as well as employers. Employees can check their EPFO balance in multiple ways and even access to EPF passbook with or without Universal Account Number (UAN).

Amount generated under EPF, with equal contribution from the employee and employer, can be withdrawn at the time of retirement. EPFO members can also make partial withdrawal on certain occasions.

What is EPFO's Employment Provident Fund Scheme?

The EPF scheme is a social security scheme mandatory for all salaried employees earning up to Rs 15,000 per month. For employers, a company that hires more than 20 employees, it is important for the entity to provide EPF contribution. The equal contribution by the employee and the employer also attracts interest and can be partially withdrawn.

What is a UAN?

Universal Account Number (UAN) is allotted by EPFO to an employee enrolled with the social security scheme. The 12-digit number acts as an umbrella for the multiple member IDs allotted to an individual by different establishments. Hence, while your member ID may change on switching jobs to a different organisation, your UAN ID will remain the same.

Employees can contact their employers to obtain their UAN id. Their UAN is readily available to the employer.
