EPFO credited 8.25% interest for FY26 on July 15. Subscribers can check PF withdrawal, transfer, and pension claim status via the member portal, Umang app, SMS to 7738299899, or a missed call to 011-22901406.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation credited 8.25% interest for the 2025-26 fiscal year to member accounts on July 15, marking the third straight year at that rate. Subscribers who have filed claims for provident fund withdrawal, transfer, or pension can now check their status in real time through four channels: the EPFO member portal, the government's Umang mobile app, SMS, and a missed-call service.
On the EPFO member portal, a user logs in with their Universal Account Number (UAN) and password. The dashboard displays all claims filed under that UAN. Clicking a specific Claim ID reveals the Tracking ID, Claim Type, and current Claim Status.
The Umang app follows the same process. After logging in with UAN credentials, the user selects "EPFO" from the service list and navigates to "Track Claim Status."
For SMS access, a member sends a message from the mobile number registered with their UAN to 7738299899 in this format: EPFOHO (space) UAN (space) LAN. The language codes are ENG (English), HIN (Hindi), PAN (Punjabi), GUJ (Gujarati), MAR (Marathi), KAN (Kannada), TEL (Telugu), TAM (Tamil), MAL (Malayalam), BEN (Bengali). The system replies with the claim status or account balance.
The missed-call method works from the registered mobile number. Dialling 011-22901406 triggers an automated response with claim status details.
Members who applied for a higher pension under the Employee Pension Scheme 1995 can also track their claim status through the portal and Umang app using the same steps.
