How to check EPF balance using UAN number on Umang App: A step-by-step guide

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) is a savings scheme introduced by the central government. Workers can accumulate retirement benefits in this scheme. Both the employer and employee contribute a set sum to the EPF fund. If you want to check your EPF balance, there are several ways to do so. You can use the UMANG app to get to know your EPF balance. All you need to initiate the process is your Universal Account Number (UAN). The UAN is a 12-digit number given to each employee by the Employee Provident Fund Organisation.
