EPFO Portal Down: PF Withdrawal, Passbook, UAN and UMANG Services To Resume From July 2
EPFO has extended the suspension of its online services until July 2 as part of a scheduled technology upgrade. PF withdrawal claims, passbook downloads, UAN-related services, employer filings and several UMANG app features remain unavailable. Subscribers can still check their PF balance through missed call and SMS services if their UAN is activated and KYC-compliant.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has extended the suspension of several key online services by one more day, delaying the restoration of its digital platforms as it completes a major technology upgrade. Services that were earlier scheduled to resume on July 1 will now be available from 12 am on July 2, 2026, according to a message displayed on the EPFO's Unified Member Portal.
The temporary shutdown, which began on June 26, is part of a scheduled system migration aimed at upgrading EPFO's digital infrastructure to improve the speed, stability and security of its online services. During the maintenance window, the organisation's Member Portal, Employer Portal and several services available through the UMANG app remain inaccessible, affecting millions of provident fund subscribers across the country.

PF Claims, Passbook and UAN Services Remain Unavailable
The ongoing outage has temporarily suspended several services used by both employees and employers.
EPF members are currently unable to:
- Submit fresh provident fund withdrawal claims.
- Track the status of existing claims.
- Download e-passbooks.
- Log into their EPFO online accounts.
The disruption has also affected Universal Account Number (UAN)-related services, including Aadhaar seeding and onboarding processes for newly joined employees.
For employers, access to the Employer Interface remains unavailable, preventing them from filing Electronic Challan-cum-Returns (ECR), updating employee records and completing compliance-related activities linked to EPF accounts.

The extension means these services will remain unavailable until 11:59 pm on July 1, with normal operations expected to resume from July 2.
UMANG App Services Also Impacted
The scheduled migration has also affected EPFO services available through the government's Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG).
Users are temporarily unable to access several services, including:
- Checking PF balance.
- Filing claims.
- Applying for scheme certificates.
- Registering grievances.
- Searching for EPFO offices.
- Generating UAN.
- Linking Aadhaar with UAN.
- Tracking claim status.
- Applying for Jeevan Pramaan certificates.
According to EPFO, the temporary suspension is necessary to migrate its systems to a more advanced technology platform that is expected to deliver faster processing, improved reliability and stronger cybersecurity after the upgrade is completed.
How Subscribers Can Check Their PF Balance
Although online portals remain inaccessible, EPFO members can still access limited account information through offline services, provided their Universal Account Number (UAN) is activated and fully KYC-compliant with Aadhaar, PAN and bank account details.
Subscribers can check their EPF balance by giving a missed call from their registered mobile number to 011-22901406. The service is free and account details are sent through SMS.
Members can also send an SMS to 7738299899 using the following format:
- EPFOHO UAN ENG (for English)
- EPFOHO UAN HIN (for Hindi)
These services are available only if the member's mobile number is registered with EPFO and the UAN is linked with Aadhaar, PAN and bank account details.
Services Expected To Resume On July 2
EPFO has advised members and employers to plan their transactions accordingly, as no new online claims or employer filings can be processed during the migration period.
Once the upgraded platform goes live on July 2, subscribers are expected to regain access to all online services, including claim filing, passbook downloads, UAN management, employer compliance functions and UMANG-based facilities.
The migration is part of EPFO's broader effort to modernise its digital infrastructure and deliver faster, more secure and reliable digital services to its more than 7 crore active subscribers.
