Your Provident Fund (PF) account is more than just a statutory retirement savings account—it also acts as a financial cushion during emergencies. While 12% of your monthly salary is deposited into your PF account, your employer contributes an equal amount. But do you know how much balance is currently in your account? If not, don’t worry. You can now check your PF balance easily from the comfort of your home using any of these four convenient methods.
