This will include the last amount deposited in your PF account, your total PF balance, and crucial UAN-related details. This service is completely free of charge and available to all EPFO members.
Conditions for Availing the Service
To take advantage of this EPFO missed call service, certain essential conditions must be met. First, your mobile number must be linked to your UAN (Universal Account Number). This means the number from which you are calling should already be registered and active on the EPFO portal.
Additionally, at least one KYC document must be linked with your UAN. These include your bank account number, Aadhaar card (UID), or PAN card (PAN). If none of these documents are linked, the missed call service will not work, and you will not be able to receive information.
