Your Provident Fund (PF) Account Balance is Now Available Online
Your PF account details, including the latest account balance, can now be checked online. Read on for more details.
A large chunk of your salary gets deducted every month in the form of Provident Fund (PF). It is definitely money well invested, but it can get quite difficult to know exactly how much you have in your PF account. The PF office is supposed to give a statement of your PF account to your employer every year, and your finance/accounts department is supposed to hand that over to you. However, many employees never receive this yearly statement.
So, How Can You Find Your PF Account Balance?
Provident Fund (PF) Details Online
Starting on 1st July 2011, the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has made provident fund (PF) account details available online. This means that now you can instantly know your PF account balance! You can get your PF account details at: http://epfindia.com <link updated to site home>
This facility has started from Delhi, Gurgaon, Faridabad, Karnal, and Bangalore and is being rapidly extended to 120 more cities.
How Can You Know the PF Balance - The Procedure
The PF account details can be obtained online at http://epfindia.com <link updated to site home>. You would need to submit your PF account number and your mobile number to get the details. You would also need to select the EPFO office where your account is maintained. Upon providing these details, your PF details would be delivered to your mobile through an SMS. There is no charge for this service; it is completely free.
Have Your PF Money in a Private Trust?
Some companies run their own PF trusts - the companies deposit your PF money with these trusts for management instead of depositing it with the EPFO. If you work for such a company, can you see your PF account details online? Well, there is good news for you - the EPFO has asked such private PF trusts to also post the account details online! This is expected to be done by the end of July 2011.

I joined a private company on 1st May 2011. We are a Delhi-registered company. I received my PF number from the employer in July. PF was deducted from my salary starting in May. I checked my PF online, and the message that appeared on the PF site was: "Invalid Member_id / Data not updated against this PF Number. Data updated till 30-06-2011 12:28:02."
Now, as I joined in May, my data should have been updated before 30th June. Why is there such an error? Additionally, other employees who checked their PF balance online received a message indicating a very small amount in their PF account, and the message further stated that the balance is updated only till 2009! Has anyone else experienced the same issue? Please share your experience with this online PF checking system.

When I checked my PF online, the message on the PF site stated: "Invalid Member_id / Data not updated against this PF Number. Data updated till 30-06-2011 12:28:02."
Given that I joined in May, my data should have been updated before 30th June. Why then am I encountering this error? Additionally, other employees who checked their PF balance online found a significantly lower amount in their PF account with a message indicating that the balance is updated only till 2009.
