The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has announced a temporary suspension of various online services, such as claim submission and e-passbook facilities, due to a scheduled system migration exercise. The Member Portal, Employer Portal, and UMANG App services will be inaccessible between June 26 and June 29 for the planned system migration. This upgrade aims to offer faster, more reliable, and secure services to stakeholders.
Services are expected to resume from June 30, following the completion of the system migration. During this period, members and employers will not have access to services like claim submission, Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) filing, UAN linking for new employees, and e-passbook services. EPFO advises users to plan their activities accordingly to minimize inconvenience during the temporary outage.
For those facing difficulties, EPFO has provided assistance details and urged stakeholders to contact the EPFO call centre at 14470 for support. Users accessing EPFO services through the UMANG application have been informed of the service unavailability due to scheduled migration activities, with services expected to resume on July 2. The EPFO manages retirement savings for salaried employees nationwide and offers various digital services through online platforms and the UMANG application.
Reports suggest that the Finance Ministry has approved an 8.25 per cent interest rate recommended by the Central Board of Trustees (CBT) of EPFO. This interest amount is anticipated to be credited to subscribers’ accounts later this month. The CBT, chaired by Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, had decided on March 2, 2026, to maintain the EPF interest rate at 8.25 per cent for FY26. This marks the third consecutive year that the EPFO has kept the interest rate unchanged for its subscribers.
