Explained are five easy steps on how you can access your pension details:
1. Once the new mobile application from the EPFO website is downloaded, the members would be able to activate their UAN accounts from their mobile phones and can also access their accounts to view monthly credits and details available with EPFO. EPF pensioners have been given the option to access their pension disbursement details through this mobile app. Likewise, the employer can also view remittance details.
2. A new SMS-based UAN activation service will enables members to activate their accounts by sending an SMS to 7738299899.
3. Once UAN is activated, the member becomes eligible for all services under the programme such as credit alerts, passbooks and the like. This new service is helpful mainly to those members who may not have easy access to computers or smartphones.
4. EPFO already has in place a Short Code SMS service, which helps members get their details along with contribution and PF balance through an SMS to 7738299899.
5. As an extension to this service, a missed call at 011 22901406 -- at no cost to the member -- will fetch the user all the required details. As this facility is available only to UAN members, the activation is expected to pick up.
