How to Check Your Provident Fund (PPF) Balance Online and In-Person

The balance in your Provident Fund (PPF) account can be checked through various methods, both online and in-person.

Checking PPF Balance In-Person

The first and most conventional method for checking your PPF balance is through visiting the respective bank or post office branch where you opened your PPF account.

Visit the branch and connect with a banking or post office personnel to update your PPF passbook. The PPF passbook will provide an overview of everything, including transaction details and your current PPF balance. If you have a salary slip with you, the PF number is usually mentioned there, which can be used for further reference. If your PPF account is with a post office, you may need to visit in person to get the passbook updated. However, it might be possible to check online as well; this information may vary by location. If your PPF account is with a bank, it might be linked to your bank account. Therefore, once you log into your bank account, you should be able to see the PPF account balance.
