How to check EPF Balance for exempted establishments?

Some companies have formed their own PF trusts to manage the contributions of employees instead of sending them to the EPFO. These companies have obtained an exemption from EPFO to enable them to do this. Hence they are called exempted establishments in EPFO. Private PF trusts function according to the same rules as the EPF and members are allotted UANs (Universal Account Numbers). But passbook of employees of exempted trust is not available on the EPF website/Umang. There are more than 1000 such companies in India large companies like TCS, Wipro, Hindustan Unilever (HUL), Reliance and public sector organisations like Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL). You can get a full list of exempted PF trusts at EPF website.

Our article EPF Private Trust, the Exempted EPF Fund, UAN, Transfer, Passbook discusses it in detail.

EPF details of exempted trusts are only available with the employer.

Employees of such exempted establishments can check their EPF balance in the following ways:

  1. Check your PF slip or payslip: Most big establishments, provide salary slips to their employees via internal emails. Employees can check their payslips for EPF account balance. Some companies also give EPF slip in addition to the salary slip. Employees can find their monthly contributions as well as their EPF account balance in that slip.
  2. Check the company’s employee portal: Most large companies maintain a company website on which employees can log in and check their EPF account balance in the EPF section. Wipro and TCS are an example of such companies that provide the online facility to check one’s EPF account balance and get PF statement.
  3. Check with the company’s HR/Payrool department: Employees contact the company’s HR department as it deals with the employees’ PF and is better able to provide the related details.

Overview of Employee Provident Fund (EPF)
