EPFO Member Passbook: How to Download EPFO Member Passbook Online Using Different Methods

The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) was established in India by the government in November 1951. Your EPF account, which is managed by the EPF Organisation (EPFO), is a statutory mandate that requires your employer and you to deposit a part of your monthly salary into one account. The pooled money, which you can withdraw at a time of your choosing, acts as a safety net, as privately owned organisations usually do not provide a pension to their employees. Hence, it is important for you to know what your EPF account balance is and how much contribution you and your employer have made in the past. To get this information, the EPFO allows you to download your account passbook using different methods online.

Here is a step-by-step guide to help you download your EPFO passbook online, using different methods, including the EPFO member portal, UMANG app, SMS, and missed call services.
