EPFO Restores Passbook Portal Following Major Database Upgrade to EPFO 2.01
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has restored its passbook portal after nearly two weeks of downtime due to a major database consolidation and software upgrade under the EPFO 2.01 platform. This upgrade centralizes over 340 million member accounts into a single national database to improve service delivery, security, and processing efficiency. While the portal is operational and members can access recent transactions, some services like PF claims are still being processed gradually, with full functionality expected in the coming weeks.
