EPF services online
In June last week, EPFO services on the employer portal and UMANG app were temporarily unavailable due to scheduled system migration. This upgrade was aimed at providing faster, reliable, and secured services to its stakeholders.
Now, the EPFO has successfully completed a major database consolidation and software upgrade to enhance service delivery and improve the member experience.
However, member and employer services have been made live in a phased manner and are available for use.
As part of the post-migration stabilisation process, claims and service requests will be processed in a phased and calibrated manner with additional verification and validation checks to ensure accuracy during the initial two-week period, the EPFO said.
As per the EPFO website, “Members and employers are requested to kindly bear with us, as they may experience slightly longer-than-usual processing times for claims and certain services during this period. Members are also requested to avoid repeated attempts to access online services during peak hours or submitting repeated requests.”
