5. How to Interpret Your GPF Balance Statement
| Component | What It Means | What You Should Check |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Balance | Balance standing at the start of the financial year | Should match your last year’s closing balance |
| Subscriptions | Total amount you have contributed in the year (deductions from salary) | Monthly deductions match salary slips |
| Interest Credited | Interest added for the year up to the specified date | Correct rate and credited timely |
| Advances/Withdrawals | Amount you have taken out (temporary or part-final) from GPF | Ensure approved advances are shown |
| Closing Balance | Balance at year-end (opening for next year) | Take note and download for your records |
6. Downloading GPF Statements for Previous Years
If you wish to download detailed annual statements:
- There is a separate link on the AG Haryana portal for “GPF Statements (Annual)”.
- Login or enter your GPF Series Code and Account Number and select the financial year you need.
- Download the PDF file and save it with a clear name like “GPF_Statement_2024-25_YourName.pdf”.

7. Common Issues and How to Resolve Them
- Incorrect Account Number or Series Code: Double-check series code spelling and digits; ask your DDO if you still can’t log in.
- Account Not Found: If you get “No record found”, it may be that your account data hasn’t been uploaded yet; request your DDO to forward schedules to AG’s office.
- Balance Not Updated: Missing contributions or interest credit may cause issues later—ask your office to send missing schedules and corrections.
- Unable to Download PDF: Ensure browser permits pop-ups and has a PDF reader plugin. Try alternate browser if needed.
- Mobile Number Not Registered for OTP: Ensure your mobile is updated in payroll/HRMS to receive OTPs; else approach your office to update it.
8. Security & Best Practice Tips
- Use only the official government domain (ending with “.nic.in” or “haryana.gov.in”) for all GPF checks.
- Do not share your GPF account number, PIN or password with unauthorized persons.
- Log out immediately after checking, especially on shared/public devices.
- Save your PDF statements in a secure folder and take backups (cloud or external disk) for future reference.
- Review your statement at least once a year and right after major service/transfer events so you can catch errors early.
9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1. Can I check my GPF balance anytime?
Yes. Once your account is activated and data uploaded, you can check your balance 24/7 online. Some newer monthly data may be uploaded with a delay of few days.
Q2. Are missing credits shown immediately online?
No. If deductions are made but not yet posted, the website may not reflect them. You must ask your DDO to reconcile and submit a correction for it to show in the ledger.
Q3. Can I use the online balance to claim final GPF payment?
Yes. The online statement helps you verify balances and act as proof. However, final settlement still requires formal application and certification through your office/DDO to the AG Haryana.
Q4. What interest rate applies to my GPF account?
The interest rate is notified quarterly for each financial year—for example, one recent rate was 7.1% per annum for GPF. Ensure your statement shows the correct interest credit.
Q5. What happens if I transfer to another department or state?
Your GPF account remains valid. After transfer, your new department must forward your schedule to the AG office and upload the credits to your account so you can continue checking balance using the same GPF Series Code and number.
