Post office savings accounts and India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) accounts serve millions of customers across India, many in rural and semi-urban areas. Checking your balance matters before a withdrawal, a bill payment, or a subsidy credit. This guide explains every official method available today, from missed calls to net banking. 

IPPB customers can use these missed-call and SMS banking services. Customers with a POSA can access certain IPPB facilities after linking their POSA with an eligible IPPB account. You can check your balance from home, at a branch, or through your registered mobile number, at any hour of the day.

What is Post Office Balance Check by Account Number?

For IPPB, balance can be checked through certain channels using the mobile number registered with the account. The account number does not need to be entered for missed-call balance enquiries. It works across missed call, SMS, app, and branch channels.

Every Post Office Savings instrument carries a unique account number linked to a registered mobile number. Banks and IPPB use this number, along with your mobile number, to authenticate balance requests. After your number gets registered, you don’t require an internet connection to view your balance. All you need is an ordinary mobile phone to make calls or send SMS.

How Do I Check My Post Office Balance Through a Missed Call?

This is the fastest offline method for a post office balance check by account number:

1. Register your mobile number by giving a missed call to 9650121379 or 8424054994, as confirmed on IPPB's official missed call banking page.
2. Wait for the confirmation SMS that your number is linked to your savings or current account.
3. Dial 9910223398 or 7799022509 from the same registered number for a balance enquiry.
4. Let the call disconnect on its own after one or two rings. You will not be charged for a connected call.
5. Check the SMS that arrives within moments, showing your available balance.

Once your number is registered, both balance enquiry numbers work 24 hours a day, with no repeat registration needed for future checks.

How Do I Check My Post Office Balance Through SMS?

SMS banking works on any handset and does not need a data connection.

1. Open the messaging app on the mobile number linked to your savings or current account.
2. Type the keyword REGISTER and send it to 9910228664.
3. Wait for the confirmation message that your registration is complete.
4. Type BAL and send it to the same number, 9910228664, whenever you want your balance.
5. Read the reply SMS, which shows your current account balance.
6. Send MINI to the same number instead if you want a mini statement of recent transactions.

This channel also supports account freeze requests through separate keyword formats, making it useful beyond balance checks.

How Do I Check Post Office Balance Using IPPB Mobile App?

This is for those customers who wish to have an elaborate report in their hands instead of just a simple line stating their balance.

1. Download the IPPB Mobile Banking application available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, which can be found on the official mobile banking site of IPPB.

2. Launch the application and type in your customer ID or registered mobile number.

3. Set your MPIN if it is your first login.

4. Log in using your MPIN for each login attempt.

5. View your balance directly on the home screen after login.

The app also supports fund transfers and bill payments, which gives a complete view of your account beyond the balance figure.

How Do I Check My Post Office Balance Through Net Banking?

This method requires internet access, unlike missed call or SMS banking.

1. Visit your nearest IPPB access point or post office branch to register for net banking access.
2. Collect your customer ID and set your net banking password during registration.
3. Visit the IPPB net banking login portal.
4. Type your customer ID and password.

This process is quite effective for checking balances of several accounts.

How Do I Know My Post Office Balance from Branch?
