The only way one could know the amount one has in his/her EPF (Employee Provident Fund) account in India was when one gets the small strip of paper mentioning the amount one have payed and amount the employer have paid. Recently EPF provides mean to see online the entire passbook with monthly granularity of payments. It also mention the amount of corpus in your pension fund which gets appropriated towards it. To do all this one need to do the following:

  1. Register oneself with all the details in this site.
  2.  Generate the PIN and use it to complete the registration. PIN will be sent to your mobile number.
  3. In case the details are already been uploaded it will be seen instantaneously else you may have to come back to site once it is available.
  4. EPF portal sends an SMS once it is available. So need to do regular checks for seeing the status.
