Ratings and reviews

This is frustrating. Since a month I'm trying to check my PF balance but no success. Every time I'm getting error saying something went wrong. No description or no resolution. Even I'm not able to check on EPFO website. Not sure if this app will help me to check PF balance in next few decades. Worst experience, hard to operate. Additionally, if getting error, no root cause what went wrong and even not solving issues.

The moment I got to know that there is an app where you can utilise government benefits at one place, I became excited. But, later after few minutes into the app, I realized, it's a 'government' app. The app is too slow, and there is always a technical issue with one service or the another. I wish it could be sorted so that I, as an Indian citizen, could take benefits at an ease of a click...! 😢

My experience with the app is horrible!! Even with SMS and missed call services too. I am unable to get any information on my EPFO balance. I tried from the website of EPFO to get the balance, there it said invalid UAN/password, though both are correct. Then I tried both SMS and missed call service, none worked, then I installed an app, there also I had faced technical glitch from the govt side and now I don't know where to go to know the balance..😮very disappointing experience..!
