EPFO portal and UMANG app to remain closed for 3 days; these services will be unavailable...
There is important news for members associated with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The EPFO is preparing to enhance its digital systems. It has been announced that the online claim processing portal will remain closed for three days—from June 26 to June 29—due to a major system migration. Consequently, employees needing to handle tasks related to PF withdrawals, advances, or other claims should plan accordingly. The EPFO shared this information on its official X (formerly Twitter) handle.
**EPFO Portal to Remain Closed for 3 Days**
The EPFO announced via its X handle that, due to system migration, services on the member portal, employer portal, and UMANG app will be temporarily unavailable from June 26 to June 29, 2026. This change is being implemented to make future services faster, more secure, and more convenient.
According to the EPFO, several services on the portal will be unavailable from 12:00 AM on June 26, 2026, until 11:59 PM on June 28, 2026. During this period, members will not be able to file new claims or access services related to claim processing. The UMANG app will also remain inactive. These measures are being taken for database consolidation and the upgrading of the claim processing system. Services will resume on June 29, 2026.
