The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a government-run pension scheme that allows employees to save a portion of their salary each month for their retirement. Checking the balance of your EPF account is an important step in managing your retirement savings. The UMANG (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) app is a government-developed mobile application that allows you to easily check your EPF balance, as well as other government-related services.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to check your EPF balance using the UMANG app:
- Download and install the UMANG app on your smartphone. You can find it on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Open the UMANG app and select the "EPFO" option from the homepage. This will take you to the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) section of the app.
- Select the "Employee Centric Services" option.
- Select "View Passbook"
- You will be prompted to enter your UAN (Universal Account Number) and OTP (One-Time Password) to login.
- Once you are logged in, you will be able to view your EPF balance and your passbook, which shows your EPF contributions and withdrawals.

In addition to checking your EPF balance, the UMANG app also allows you to view your EPF statement, update your personal details, and track the status of your EPF claims. It is a convenient and easy-to-use platform for managing your EPF account.
It is important to keep track of your EPF balance regularly and to ensure that your contributions are being made on time. The UMANG app makes it easy to do so, and it is a great tool for managing your EPF account and keeping track of your retirement savings.
