Karnataka’s key digital government portals including Seva Sindhu will be offline for 24 hours beginning Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 9:00 PM until Friday, June 26, 2026 at 9:00 PM. For these services the downtime will be part of a major system upgrade and maintenance exercise that is aimed at strengthening digital infrastructure and enhancing service delivery.
To this end, citizens will not be able to access Seva Sindhu and other integrated portals which provide services such as certificates, licenses, and welfare applications. The government has advised residents to plan ahead and make urgent transactions before the shutdown window.
The maintenance will involve server upgrades, enhanced cybersecurity protocols, and backend improvements to handle the growing traffic (to which many of the new users are new to the system) officials said. And with Karnataka’s digital governance ecosystem serving millions of people each day, the temporary inconvenience is expected to be worth it in terms of speed, reliability, and security.
The downtime will affect services across departments, including revenue, transport, social welfare, and health. Those with the need to apply from online portals for certificate applications, grievance redressal, and scheme registration will need to use offline channels or wait until services resume. Helpline numbers and physical offices will still be in operation to help those in need of assistance.
Such large-scale maintenance is indicative of the growing importance of e‑governance in Karnataka, where platforms like Seva Sindhu have become the central interface between the citizen and government, digital experts say. The state’s digital transformation, in turn, has reduced paperwork, improved transparency, and made services more accessible—particularly in rural areas.
Hence, Karnataka’s digital portals will be offline for 24 hours from June 25 to June 26, 2026 due to scheduled upgrades. Although the temporary shutdown will inconvenience, it will help the state be efficient and secure and underscore the digital governance of the state. Citizens are encouraged to plan transactions in advance and use offline support during the downtime.
