Waiting for your employer's HR department to print a statement, or driving to an EPF branch office just to see how much you've saved, shouldn't be necessary anymore. Karmachari Sanchaya Kosh (EPF Nepal) now offers online access to your contribution and loan balance through its own web portal and mobile app, so you can check your provident fund status from your phone in a few minutes.
This guide walks through every official way to check your EPF balance in Nepal, what you need before you start, and how to fix the most common login and KYC problems that trip people up.
Quick Answer
There are three official ways to check your EPF balance in Nepal:
- iPortal (web): Log in at iportal.epf.org.np with your registered credentials to view your contribution and loan statement.
- EPF Mobile App: Download the official app and log in using the same iPortal credentials to view your balance, interest rate, and KYC details on your phone.
- In person or by phone: Visit your nearest EPF branch or service center, or call the EPF call center, if you cannot access the portal or haven't completed KYC yet.
Before You Start: What You Need
Online access to your EPF account depends on your Know Your Contributor (KYC) profile being complete. If you have never logged into the iPortal before, you will likely need to complete this step first.
- Your EPF member/contribution details as recorded by your employer's payroll or HR office.
- A registered mobile number that EPF can use to verify your identity and send login-related messages.
- Completed KYC through EPF's online KYC portal, which is a prerequisite for iPortal and app access.
- A valid ID document (such as your citizenship certificate) if you are completing KYC for the first time.
Step-by-Step: Checking Your Balance
Choose the method that suits you. The web portal and the mobile app both use the same underlying account, so once your KYC and login are set up, either option works equally well.
Complete KYC if you haven't already
Visit EPF Nepal's online KYC portal and complete your Know Your Contributor profile. This is required before you can access iPortal for the first time.
Go to the iPortal login page
Open iportal.epf.org.np in your browser on a phone, tablet, or computer.
Log in with your credentials
Enter the login details tied to your EPF member profile. If this is your first login, follow the portal's account setup or password creation steps.
Open your contribution statement
Navigate to your statement or passbook section to view your monthly contributions, credited interest, and current total balance.
Download or note your balance
Save or screenshot your statement if you need it for a loan application, KYC update, or personal record-keeping.
Download the official EPF Mobile App
Install it from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Search for the official Employees Provident Fund Nepal app and confirm the developer name before installing, to avoid look-alike apps.
Log in with your iPortal credentials
The app uses the same login as the web iPortal, so you need a completed KYC profile and an active iPortal account first.
View your balance and statement
Once logged in, the app displays your total contribution, loan balance, current interest rate, and KYC profile data.
Set up biometric login (optional)
If your device supports it, enable fingerprint or face login within the app for faster access next time.
Locate your nearest branch or service center
EPF Nepal operates branch offices and service centers in several cities, listed on its official website.
Bring identification
Carry your citizenship certificate or another valid ID, along with any EPF member details you have (member number, employer name).
Request your statement in person
Staff can look up your contribution and loan status and help you complete KYC or resolve login issues on the spot.
Or call the EPF call center
If you can't visit in person, EPF Nepal's call center can guide you through KYC or account access questions over the phone.
Common Problems and How to Fix Them
| Problem | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Can't log into iPortal at all | KYC not completed, or account not yet set up | Complete KYC through EPF's online KYC portal first, then retry account setup on iPortal |
| Forgot password | Standard login issue | Use the portal's password reset option, or contact the EPF call center if reset options aren't working |
| Balance looks lower than expected | Employer hasn't deposited the latest month's contribution yet, or interest hasn't been credited for the year | Remember employers have a deadline each month to remit contributions, and annual interest is credited once a year, not monthly — check the date on your last entry |
| App won't show balance after login | Slow server response or an outdated app version | Update the app to the latest version, check your internet connection, and try again during off-peak hours |
| Details don't match your employer's records | Outdated KYC information | Update your KYC profile online or at a branch, since mismatched details can also delay withdrawal later |
- Only use the official iPortal URL and the official app listed under EPF Nepal's publisher name on the app stores.
- Never share your iPortal password or OTP with anyone, including callers claiming to be from EPF.
- Avoid entering your EPF credentials on third-party "balance checker" websites that are not operated by EPF Nepal.
- Log out of the iPortal on shared or public computers after checking your balance.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. You can use the iPortal from any web browser on a computer, or visit an EPF branch or service center in person if you don't have online access.

EPF and SSF are separate schemes with separate portals and apps. If your salary slip shows SSF deductions rather than EPF, you'll need the SSF portal instead — ask your employer's payroll team to confirm which scheme applies to you.
The Bottom Line
Checking your EPF balance in Nepal takes a few minutes once your KYC and iPortal login are set up, and from there the mobile app makes it just as easy as checking your bank balance. If you're logging in mainly to plan for retirement, it's worth pairing that habit with an understanding of what your money is actually earning — see our guide to the EPF Nepal interest rate for the current figures, and our CIT vs EPF comparison if you're weighing additional voluntary savings on top of your EPF balance.
