How to Download Your PF Passbook from the EPFO Member Portal

Checking your PF balance through the EPFO Member Portal is one of the easiest ways to stay updated on your retirement savings. The passbook gives you a detailed view of your monthly PF contributions, employer share, and interest earned. If you haven’t downloaded it before, the steps below will guide you through the process clearly and simply.

What Is a PF Passbook?

A PF passbook is a digital record of your Provident Fund account. It includes:

• Details of monthly contributions
• Employer and employee share
• Interest credited by EPFO
• Opening and closing balances

This document acts like a bank statement for your PF, helping you verify contributions and plan withdrawals or transfers.

Things to Keep Ready

Before you begin, ensure:

• Your UAN is active
• Your account is KYC verified
• You have your UAN login password

If your UAN isn’t activated yet, complete the activation on the official EPFO portal first.
