Here is the link to check your epf status:

EPFO

Is it working?

When I click the link given on the page, I get:

Quote:

Can't find file: 'sms_count' (errno: 2)

May be temporary error, I had used this service in the past.

Only thing, when I tried two months back, I got an sms but the figures were updated as of 31st Mar 2010. So I could not get latest balance.

The link is working now.

However I can't try it as I don't have an EPF account.

The balance is last updated 31st March 2010.

Government expects companies to file TDS in time & employees file returns in time, however the EPFO balance is out of date by at least 1 financial year.

The form expects the account number in the following format:

CC/CCC/9999999/999/9999999

C --> Character. 9 --> Number

On my PF slip I only see an account number in the format CC/CCC/9999999/999

Where do I find the last part?

First 9999999 is establishment code. Second 999 is extension which is optional. In most cases it is omitted.

Third 9999999 is your code. I guess your code is CC/CCC/9999999//999.

That worked. Thanks!

I have only two characters instead of 3 in my EPF. Why is it so?

And when I select the state and city it takes CC/CCC/.. characters.

My EPF is as CC/CC/99999/999999

But when I select the state and city its shows like CC/CCC/------

How to know the accurate format in this case ?

You need to get the new code from here.

Need to fill three columns:

1) Old office code: which I know the state code number in drop down menu.
2) Establishment Code:
3) Establishment Name:

In 2 and 3, which number need to provide?

Will I get the new code instantly on the page itself?

Put in just the establishment code (which is the first number) in your account number. leave other things blank.

Thanks. Solved this issue. But

But I get error / no such user, when I fill up the new information of my EPF along with EPF a/c number in the given column.

Regards.
