EPFO services to resume from July 1 after 5-day system upgrade; claims, passbook access to be restored

Subscribers of the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) will be able to access online services again from Wednesday, 1 July 2026, after a temporary suspension caused by a planned system migration aimed at upgrading the organisation's digital infrastructure.

In a post on X, the retirement fund body said services on the Member Portal, Employer Portal and the UMANG app would remain unavailable during the migration period. It added that the upgraded platform is expected to deliver faster, more reliable and secure services once the transition is complete.

The maintenance exercise is part of EPFO's efforts to modernise its technology infrastructure and improve the user experience for its over 7 crore members. While online services remain inaccessible during the transition, normal operations are expected to resume once the upgraded system goes live.

With the migration scheduled to conclude on June 30, members are expected to regain access to digital services from July 1. Subscribers who postponed filing claims or downloading their passbooks because of the temporary shutdown can resume these activities once the upgraded platform becomes operational. EPFO says the exercise is intended to enhance the speed, reliability and security of its online services.
