How to know which EPFO Regional Office Manages your EPF Account?

If you have to contact your EPF regional office, you need to know the which RO administers your EPF account. For this you need to understand your EPF Account format.

EPF Account Old Format Example:

KN / 1234567 / 7654321. KN (Karnataka) here denotes the State in which EPF office is located. ‘1234567’ is Establishment code (company code – Max 7 digits) and ‘7654321’ is your EPF account number (max 7 digits).

In case if your company has one or more branches they may mention it along with the Establishment code. For example: KN/1234567AAA/7654321. In this case ‘AAA’ is the extension number.

The EPF old format was based on the 22 states available with corresponding 2 characters of region code, as listed below.

EPF Account New Format Example:

New Region Code / EPFO Office code / Establishment code / EPF account number is the new format.

For example – PB / CHD / 1234567 / 7654321. PB denotes for Punjab, CHD for Chandigarh PF office, 1234567 stands for Establishment code & 7654321 is your EPF account number. So, you can submit your grievance to ‘Chandigarh PF regional office’ Whatsapp helpline number.
