Here is some good news for those of you contributing towards provident fund from your salary with Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) of India. Going forward, salaried people would no longer have to go through the tedious and rather long process of knowing the details of their PF account. Every bit of information related to Provident fund that you may want to track would be just a ‘click’ away in the very near future! If you are looking for info on New Pension Scheme (NPS), check out another article on this blog by following this link.
This news is indeed of a great help to about 4.5 crore PF subscribers in India. One this system is online, all the pf accounts across the country would be made available online. I have gone through a helluva process of getting my PF account details transferred from my previous employers to current one. After all possible kind of interactions with various levels of authorities, till date I have no clue on what is the status of my account transfer. Hope this new system solves all such painful issues associated with individual pf accounts.
The facility is expected to be fully functional from December this year, according to Labour Ministry sources as quoted by one of the prominent news papers recently. Due to the sheer size of the number of accounts, it wouldn’t be an easy task for the government organizations to solve this in a short span of time. Also the paper quoted – “EPFO officials revealed that computerization of its operation took them eight years. Since April, a test run of the facility has been implemented.” It is understandable that people rely a lot on PF to save some Income tax as well as a compulsory investment mode for salaried class people.
In the first phase of implementation after opening it for subscribers online, account balance will be made available. In the latter part of the project, which might roll over to sometime in 2010, the subscribers would be able to view their contribution, interest accrued, status of application for advances, loans and a host of other activities. Also, as a matter of fact PF department had collected forms from many of us to provide with what they call as SSN (Social Security Number) – haven’t heard any news on that number, but off late we are all talking about NUIA (National Unique Identification Authority). Not sure how many more such unique numbers are awaiting in the store! I would be very happy the day all my information is made available with ease in accessing without any delays and hierarchies 🙂
===========

ABHISHEK MITRA says
Dear sir while checking the P.F. balance online the site was asking me three things i.e.
1. ESTABLISHMENT CODE
2. EXTENSION CODE
3. EMPLOYEE NUMBER
MY P.F. NO. KN/16573/10572
if i enter establishment code as : 16573 ; Extension code as KN & employee code as 10572 i am getting that “The details are not available for given data.!”
Please help me to sort out the problem i will be very thankfull to you
Prasanth says
Do you get the details? If yes, please let me know I am also receiving same error message
Sunil says
You do not need to fill the Extension code. Typically extension code is required only if your P.F. no reads something like this:
KN/16573A/10572.
In this case you’d have to enter the info as:
State: Karnataka
Establishment Code: 16573
Extension Code: A
Employee Number: 10572
However since there is no extension code in your PF no. you’d have to leave that section blank.
Shashi says
Hi Sunil,
There is no extension associated with my PF number. So, still i am getting the same message which states ” The details are not available for given data “. I wanted to know the balance. Is there any other way to check the member balance?
Sunil says
Hi Shashi,
Do you know which pf office your company holds account with? I work in Bangalore too but my pf account is with Gurgaon Haryana pf office. So it’s possible you may be checking on the wrong website. Moreover, currently only the south pf offices have the facility to check your ballance online. Your company is supposed to provide you with the annual pf account statement issued by the pf office every year. If you havent received the same, you might want to approach your site hr. Hope this helps.
Shashi says
Hi Mohan, I live in Bangalore, and would like to know my PF Balance, i visited the website whatever you have mentioned in this blog, and also gave correct information to check my balance and it says “The details are not available for given data.” Would you please tell me what to do in this case?

Atul Joshi says
Sir, My PF is pending at PF office, Park street, Kolkata (WB). My company is not signing and forwarding the Form 19. How can I withdraw my PF.
Sunil says
I believe you have an option to submit a claim form to the PF office directly as well.
Debasish Ghosh says
Hi,
I have applied for the withdrawal of my PF of my previous company in August,2010. As per rules . I have made so many phone calls to EPF Office but the Accounts Officer always says that it is not processed yet and will take another7-10 days.This is keep on going on and on .And since I am not staying in Bangalore so cant go in person to EPF Office.
Could you please tell me in what way I can get the help of RTI to get my own money from my PF account.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards
Jyoti
Sunil says
Technically, it would take your company a month to forward your form to PF office. From then on it’d take anywhere between 2 to 4 months for the PF office to process and credit the amount to your account. Ask your previous company for the Acknowledgement receipt for PF form submission. After that I’d recommend sitting it out through the processing period.
Btw Mohan sorry for butting into your blog. Just plugging in a few things I’ve learnt during my pf processing.

Nishant says
Hi, a very good piece of article.
I tried to find the total accumulated amount in my PF a/c. Thanks to the links you provided 🙂 . But, I have been unable to drill down to the amount. Nonetheless, I got across this site http://epfigms.gov.in/ where I tried to raise a grievance for the same, but the query could not be submitted. FYI, my previous employer had opened an a/c in KN. I found out it to be in the PEENYA office. Any idea if the PF accounts for bangalore region are online by this time (I found in the comments above that for rest of Karnataka its online).
Also, after change in organization, how is the ESTABLISHMENT CODE managed. Technically, it should change.

Sridhar MK says
Hello Mohan,
I am residing in Bangalore and I checked my PF through the above-stated website, but after login it showed my company’s name, but it was showing label instead of balance. I am in a doubt about my PF is deposited to my account or not, or may be any other data is required to check my PF balance.
I have pasted below what it was showing after I entered my details.
Region : BANGALORE / Establishment Code : xxxxx / Employee No : xxx
Balance As on 31st March Label
Employee Opening Balance : Label
Employer Opening Balance : Label
Mohan says
Sridhar, that is how the response has been for most. Looks like the database integration with historic data has not yet happened.
