PF balance check: The government has launched a major update for members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), making access to key digital services easier. EPFO recently said that members can view their documents and check their PF balance directly using the DigiLocker app on Android smartphones. With the update, members can now access and download important EPFO documents like the Pension Payment Order (PPO), UAN card, and Scheme Certificate via DigiLocker.

Earlier, the UMANG app offered EPFO members the facility to access and download their PF passbook. DigiLocker now makes the process more convenient, while the UMANG app remains active.
