PF Form 19

PF is an account allotted to every employee through a UAN (Universal Account Number). You can log into the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) portal through your UAN number and password and check your balance and other details. A fixed portion of your salary is deducted every month and deposited in this account along with the employer's contribution of an equal percentage. The deposited amount is eligible for withdrawal post-retirement with the benefit of accrued interest at the rate of 8.50%
