In this hi-tech era, digitization has covered everything in financial market. How can EPFO stay behind? Now EPF investors can get all details of their EPF account from the online E-passbook facility provided by EPFO. A secured registration process will help you login and check the balance of your account.
However, this facility will now be available to only those employees whose employer has uploaded electronic Challan cum return in the month of May 2012 and onwards. For inactive members, this portal may be closed and they may need to request for the details and wait for them to proceed.
The Process is divided into seven steps where you will need your mobile phone and it will serve as security of your personal details.
