EPFO members and pensioners can track the status of their provident fund and pension-related applications through official digital services, including the EPFO member portal and UMANG app. The EPFO website currently provides a dedicated facility to track applications for Pension on Higher Wages, while its Pensioners’ Portal allows users to check pension status using their PPO details.
The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a government-backed retirement savings arrangement for eligible salaried employees. Subscribers can also opt for the Voluntary Provident Fund (VPF) to make additional voluntary contributions.

How To Check EPF Claim Status On EPFO Portal
Members can also use the official EPFO member portal to access claim-related services. After logging in, members can access online services and the relevant claim-status facility to view the progress of their submitted request. The official EPFO member portal is currently operational for member services. For direct access, users should use the official EPFO website rather than links received through unsolicited messages or calls.
How To Check EPF Details Through SMS
EPFO also provides SMS-based services for account information.
The official EPFO Passbook page currently lists the SMS format as:
EPFOHO UAN < LAN>
The message should be sent from the mobile number registered with the UAN to 7738299899. The official EPFO website also lists the missed-call facility for checking EPF balance.
How To Check EPF Details Through Missed Call
EPFO members can give a missed call from their registered mobile number to 9966044425 to access the available automated account information service. EPFO's official member services also provide online access to passbook and claim-related information.
How To Check EPS-95 Pension Documents
Pension-related services are available through EPFO's digital platforms. EPFO's UMANG integration includes pensioner services, including pension passbook-related facilities and Jeevan Pramaan services. Pensioners should keep their PPO number, date of birth and registered mobile number available when using services that require identity or OTP verification.
How Long Does EPFO Take To Settle Claims?
The time taken to settle an EPFO claim can vary depending on the type of claim, document verification, KYC status and other processing requirements. Members should monitor the claim status through the official EPFO portal or UMANG rather than relying solely on an expected settlement timeline.
If a claim remains unresolved or a member faces a service-related grievance, EPFO provides grievance-redressal mechanisms and the 14470 helpdesk number on its current portal.
EPFO has warned members and pensioners against sharing sensitive information such as Aadhaar, PAN, bank details or OTPs with unknown callers. The official EPFO Passbook page specifically cautions that the organisation does not call members or pensioners asking them to deposit money. Members should therefore use only official EPFO and government platforms when checking pension, PF or claim information.
