An EPF statement, commonly referred to as an EPF passbook, is an official record that tracks all transactions related to an employee’s Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) account. This document is updated periodically and allows employees to monitor their contributions, withdrawals, and interest earnings.
A PF statement is particularly useful for employees who want to:
- Check their current EPF balance
- Track monthly employer and employee contributions
- Monitor interest earned on their EPF deposits
- Validate past transactions, including withdrawals and transfers
- Ensure that their employer is making timely contributions
The EPF passbook is available online through the EPFO Member e-Sewa portal and the UMANG mobile app, making it accessible at any time.
The EPFO Member e-Sewa portal is the most common and reliable way to download a PF statement. This portal provides employees with direct access to their EPF passbook, allowing them to track their contributions, interest earnings, and transaction history in a few simple steps.

✔️ Ensure your UAN is linked with Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account details to access the statement without issues.
