EPFO portal upgrade 2026: When will claim, passbook and other online services be available again?

As the EPFO has been carrying out its portal upgrade for a few days, several online EPFO services are temporarily unavailable. These services include filing Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) claims through both the EPFO portal and the UMANG app.

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had announced that its member portal, employer portal and UMANG app services will be temporarily unavailable due to scheduled system migration from June 26 to 30, 2026. This upgrade is aimed at providing faster, reliable, and secured services to its stakeholders, said EPFO in a statement on its official website.

In its statement, the EPFO had said, “From June 26, 2026, 12:00 am, until June 30, 2026, at 11:59 pm, various services including Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) claims through the portal and on UMANG app will be temporarily unavailable.”

Thus, interrupted EPFO services are expected to resume from July 1, 2026.

The EPFO says that during the migration period, EPFO members will not be able to avail these services:

Members will not be able to submit new EPF claims or track the processing of existing claims during the migration period.
Employers will be unable to file Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) while the system upgrade is underway.

UAN linking for newly joined employees won’t be available during this period.

Also, members will not be able to access or download their e-Passbooks until the services are restored.

The UMANG App (Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance) is an official government platform that allows users to easily access Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) services on their smartphones without needing to visit an EPFO office.

Many EPFO services remain temporarily unavailable on the Umang app during the maintenance period.

Users can use the UMANG app to check their PF balance, raise claim, apply for a scheme certificate or a UAN, seed UAN with Aadhaar, check claim status, search for establishment, view EPFO office address, register grievance and apply for the Jeevan Pramaan certificate.

If you are registered on the UAN site, you can access your EPF balance information by making a missed call from your registered mobile number to 011-22901406. Make sure that your bank account information, Aadhaar and PAN are seeded into your UAN. You might even request that your employer plant them for you. There is no charge for this service.

Sending an SMS to 7738299899 will provide you with information regarding your most recent contribution and the PF balance if your UAN is registered with the EPFO. You must transmit the following message:

EPFOHO UAN ENG. The desired language's first three letters are "ENG." Therefore, type EPFOHO UAN HIN to receive the message in Hindi.

Make sure that your UAN is seeded with your bank account, Aadhaar, and PAN, or update the latest information.
