The EPFO portal is currently down due to a scheduled nationwide system migration and database consolidation exercise.

Here is what you need to know about the downtime and when things will return to normal:

πŸ•’ Downtime Schedule

  • Start Date: Friday, June 26, 2026 (00:00 hrs)

  • Expected Restoration: Normal services are scheduled to resume sequentially starting June 29, 2026 (though some backend notices suggest complete stabilization could stretch up to June 30/July 1).

❌ What is Affected?

During this maintenance window, members and employers cannot log into the unified portal. This means:

  • You cannot submit fresh online claims (withdrawals, advances, or transfers).

  • Existing claim processing is temporarily halted (claims already submitted are safe but will only be processed after the system is online).

  • EPFO services via the UMANG app are also temporarily hit.

πŸ“± How to check your PF Balance right now

If you just need to check your balance or recent contributions, you don't need the portal. You can use these offline channels instead:

  • Missed Call Facility: Give a missed call to 011-22901406 from your registered mobile number. The call will automatically hang up, and you’ll receive an SMS with your details.

  • SMS Service: Send an SMS from your registered number to 7738299899 in this format:

    EPFOHO UAN ENG (Replace "ENG" with your preferred language code if needed, like HIN for Hindi).

If you have urgent queries, you can also reach out to the official EPFO helpline at 14470.
