The full list of regional offices which have WhatsApp helpline numbers can be found by clicking on this link https://www.epfindia.gov.in/site_docs/PDFs/Downloads_PDFs/WhatsApp_Helpline.pdf .

How to find your regional office?
As mentioned above, each regional office has a separate WhatsApp helpline number. So it is important for you to know in which regional office your EPF account is. Here’s how you can find the regional office.

Step 1: First go to www.epfindia.gov.in .
Step 2: Select ‘For Employers’ in the tab ‘Services’.
Step 3: A new web page will open on your screen. Under the ‘Services’ tab select ‘Establishment Search’.
Step 4: A new web page will open on your screen where the details can be searched using the name of the institute and / or part of the institute code number (7 digits only). Enter details and captcha code in the given column and click on ‘Search’. ‘Establishment’ is the institution in which you are working. Remember that even if you do not have the establishment code of your institution, you can search for it by name.

If more than one result appears, then click on ‘View Details’ and select the address mentioned on the screen with the address addressed on your EPF statement to select the correct establishment.

This will show details of the installation. This includes the Establishment Code, Establishment Status (Examination Status), EPFO ​​Office Name, EPFO ​​Office Address etc.



Address will help you to find WhatsApp number from the list to solve your query. Remember that this facility is available only for 138 regional offices. This way you might not find your regional office in the list for now.

Apart from this, you will also get an answer on your WhatsApp number. This will be similar to the way EPFO ​​responds to complaints on its social media handle.
