Overview
- EPFO announced on Thursday that its Member and Employer portals and related services will be taken offline for a planned migration starting Friday, June 26, to allow a database move and software upgrade.
- Reports differ on the exact downtime window but agree core web services will be suspended for several days with portals expected back between June 29 and July 1 and UMANG mobile functions possibly out until July 2.
- During the outage members will not be able to file new claims or access e-passbooks and employers may face delays in UAN linking and monthly filing, with EPFO advising users to complete urgent transactions before the migration begins.
- EPFO frames the work as a backend modernisation aimed at faster claim processing, stronger stability and better integration across web and mobile channels once the migration finishes.
- Users should monitor EPFO’s official channels for final restoration timing and can contact the EPFO call centre for assistance during the maintenance window.
