If you are looking the process for checking EPF balance online via missed call for free then you are at the right place where I’ve written the article where I’ve explained the steps to know your EPF balance online as well as giving miss call to EPFO. Retirement fund body EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) has taken many initiatives to ease the claim process for subscribers as well as provide different services like online checking of EPF passbook and balance. Both the employer and employee contribute 12 per cent of basic salary plus DA (if any) towards EPF. If the employees whose wages more than 15000/- a month then they are required to join this fund.
An employee’s 12 per cent contribution goes toward EPF kitty, while 8.33 per cent out of the total 12 per cent of the employer’s contribution is invested in EPS or pension scheme. The balance 3.67 per cent is invested in EPF.
Financial planners say that EPF kitty should be meant for long-term savings, not to be withdrawn before one’s retirement.
