If you opened your EPF passbook today and felt that sudden jolt—“Why are my September–October 2025 contributions missing?”—you’re not alone. Thousands of salaried employees are noticing the same gap. Here’s the thing: nothing is wrong with your account, and your money hasn’t vanished. The EPFO has already explained what’s happening behind the scenes.
The organisation is currently updating its system due to a revamped ECR ledger posting, and because of that technical upgrade, the passbook is temporarily not showing wage details for September and October 2025. I know how stressful it feels when your PF details don’t appear, but this delay is normal and expected to clear in a couple of days.
Why the EPF Passbook Update for September–October 2025 Is Delayed
Think of the EPFO system like a huge financial library. When they reorganise shelves, it takes a bit before every record appears in the right place again. Right now, EPFO is doing exactly that—restructuring its ECR ledger posting system. During this process, the latest contributions stay hidden for a short period, even though they’re already recorded internally.

EPFO has put out a clear message on its website stating: “Passbook updates for wage months Sept–Oct 2025 are under process due to revamped ECR ledger posting. Temporary non-visibility of contributions is expected for a couple of days.” In simple words: your money is safe, the system is just catching up.
EPF Interest Rate for 2024–25
While we’re on the topic, the EPF interest rate for FY 2024–25 has already been approved at 8.25%. Once your passbook updates, this interest will reflect accordingly.

Online Claim Requirements You Should Know
From experience, many claim delays happen because basic details are not updated. To file EPF claims smoothly, make sure:
- Your UAN is activated and linked to a working mobile number
- Aadhaar is seeded with EPFO and eKYC is verified
- Your bank account and IFSC are updated in the EPFO database
- PAN is linked (required if your service is below 5 years and you’re making a final settlement)
When these small details are sorted in advance, online claims become quicker and stress-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why are my September–October 2025 PF contributions not showing?
They’re hidden temporarily because EPFO is updating its ledger system. The contributions are already recorded and will appear automatically once the upgrade completes.
2. Will this delay affect my EPF interest or balance?
No. Your balance and interest remain unaffected. Once the system refreshes, all amounts will show correctly.
3. Can I still check my PF details during the update?
Yes. You can use Passbook Lite or the UMANG app, although September–October entries may remain invisible until updates finish.
