Unable to see your EPFO balance? Here is why the services are unavailable and when it will resume

Before making any EPF-related online request this week, subscribers should check the latest update from the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The retirement fund body has announced that several of its digital services will remain unavailable for five days because of a planned system migration. During this period, members will not be able to submit new claims, access their EPF passbook, or use claim-related services through the EPFO portal and the UMANG app. The organisation said the temporary shutdown is necessary to upgrade its technology platform, which is expected to offer quicker processing, stronger security, and a better user experience after the migration is completed.

EPFO online services to remain unavailable

EPFO has informed subscribers that its online services will remain suspended from 12:00 AM on June 26 until 11:59 PM on June 30, 2026. The organisation has issued an important notice on its official member portal and has also shared the announcement on its official X account.

According to EPFO, the temporary shutdown is part of a scheduled system migration aimed at improving the overall performance of its digital services.

Affected EPFO services

During the five-day maintenance period, the following services will not be available:

• Submission of new EPF claims.
• Processing of existing claims.
• EPF e-passbook service.
• Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) filing by employers.
• Online claim-related services through the EPFO portal and the UMANG app.
• EPFO has advised employers to complete their ECR filings before the migration begins.

Why is EPFO upgrading its system?

The organisation said the migration includes database consolidation and an upgrade of its claims processing software. The goal is to make the platform faster, more secure, and easier to use for both employees and employers.

The EPFO believes that the improved infrastructure will help in reducing processing time and provide more reliable services once the upgrade is completed.

What should EPF subscribers do now?

EPFO has said that claims will not be processed during the maintenance period. Applications submitted before the migration will be taken up after the upgraded system becomes operational.

Subscribers planning to submit PF withdrawals, pension claims, or transfer requests have been advised to wait until the services are restored.

When will EPFO services resume?

If the migration is completed as scheduled, all online services are expected to become available again from 12:00 AM on July 1, 2026.
