EPFO Debunks Viral Claim on UMANG

The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has categorically denied a viral social media claim suggesting that claim processing services on its e-Office and UMANG applications would be suspended due to a system upgrade. The organisation clarified that no such advisory has been issued and confirmed that all online services continue to function normally.

Issuing a fact-check, EPFO termed the circulating message as fake and misleading. The organisation urged its subscribers not to rely on unverified social media posts for important updates related to provident fund services. Instead, members have been advised to refer only to EPFO's official website and verified communication channels for accurate and timely information.
