Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) members can get their updated account balance through SMS by furnishing their PF number and mobile number, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Kodikunnil Suresh, said in the Lok Sabha on Monday. He said monthly account details were not being sent through e-mail, as of now.

Answering a query on the status of sending monthly details of PF accounts, the Minister said “The updated Provident Fund (PF) accounts are available on wwe.epfindia.gov.in from August 2012 and the accounts are updated as and when the contribution is received.”
