Have you recently opened your EPF passbook and noticed that your September or October 2025 salary contribution is missing? Honestly, thousands of employees are in the same situation — and it’s causing unnecessary panic. When your hard-earned savings don’t show up, it’s normal to feel stressed.
Here’s the thing: nothing is wrong with your PF contributions. The issue lies in the EPF passbook update status, and EPFO has already shared the exact reason and expected fix. Let’s break it down in simple words so you don’t have to worry another second.
Why the EPF Passbook Isn’t Showing Recent Contributions
EPFO confirmed that passbook entries for September and October 2025 are not delayed because of employers or missing deposits. The real reason is technical — a major upgrade to the ECR ledger posting system.

During this upgrade, member passbooks aren’t reflecting new deposits for a few days. The good news? EPFO has publicly apologized and assured that all contributions will appear shortly once the update settles.
So if your EPF passbook is not showing your latest entries, you’re not alone and nothing is wrong with your PF account.
EPFO’s Official Statement
Directly from EPFO’s recent announcement:
Passbook updates for the September–October 2025 pay months are in process due to revamped ECR ledger posting. Entries may not be visible for a few days. We apologize for the inconvenience.
This means you can safely relax while the system finishes updating.
EPF Interest Rate for 2024–25
EPFO has approved an 8.25% interest rate for FY 2024–25.
Once the ledger migration is fully updated, your contribution plus interest will display automatically in the passbook.
