Last updated: April 9, 2018 | by

Shri Bandaru Dattatreya, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment (Independent Charge) has recently launched EPFO’s Short Code SMS service for the members of EPFO.

During the year 2014, EPFO had launched the UAN programme wherein a Universal Account Number was allotted to all the members and different services such as passbook, monthly SMS of contributions were provided on its activation at EPFO’s UAN portal.

The newly launched EPFO Short Code SMS Service is available only to the UAN (Universal Account Number) activated members of EPF (Employees Provident Fund).

To avail this facility , you (EPF member) can send an SMS in predefined format from your mobile number registered during UAN activation. The EPFO on receipt of such SMS will send the members details available with EPFO along with details of KYC seeded, Last Contribution and Total PF Balance.

A member who had activated his UAN could send an SMS from his/ her registered mobile number in the pre-defined format to 77382 99899. The format of the SMS is EPFOHO UAN followed by first three characters of preferred language.

For example, if  you would like to receive SMS in English, you should send an SMS as EPFOHO UAN ENG to 77382 99899. The EPFO would send the members details available with it along with details of the KYC seeded, last contribution and Total PF balance.

  • Sir
    I worked for a Pvt Ltd Company from 1st April 2005 to 31st August 2016. I have applied for PF withdrawal for which I have been asked by my Company to fill up revised Form 15G & send them. I am confused how to fill following

    16.Estimated income for which declaration is made
    17. Estimated Total Income of the P.Y in which income mentioned in column 16 to be included
    19.Details of income for which declaration is filled

    From various replies given by you in your Post, I understand PF Balance is to be mentioned in column 16. However I do not know my exact PF Balance. My PF A/c No. GJ/0007788/1234 & my UAN No. 100642497660

    I have enquirerd with my COMPANY. But they also do not know & advised me to send Hard Copy of FORM 15G leaving column 16 to 19 Blank to them. They say these will be filled by PF Department.

    I do not want rejection of FORM 15G.

    Please advise

    I had quit Infosys Limited last year (Jul 2015) and wanted to do PF transfer to my new company. But due to some reasons I could not initiate the transfer of the PF. Could you please let me know can I get the PF amount withdrawn now? If yes, please suggest me the steps.

    Also please let me know if any TDS will be applicable for my PF. I had served 4 years and 10 months of tenure in my previous organization.

    Moreover, I just SMSed EPFOHO UAN ENG to 77382 99899 from my registered mobile to fins the PF account balance and I received as total contributions as 0 whereas as both my old company PF and new company PF are associated with the UAN number.

    Thanks in advance.

      As you are employed and contributing to EPF scheme now, you have to TRANSFER the old EPF a/c monies to the new EPF a/c.
