    @Vinesh Singh Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forums.

    We are sorry that the notification wasn't clear enough.
    Thank you for letting us know. I will get this checked internally.

    As per Azure Database for PostgreSQL versioning policy, support for PostgreSQL 9.6 ends on November 11, 2021.
    If you have a database on this version, you should consider upgrading to a higher version irrespective of the Azure region.
