Hi Raghu522,
Please ensure application pool for central administration is running in IIS Manager on the server.
It would be the case that the pool is stopped or failing to start properly.
Thanks

Hi Raghu522,
In general, HTTP error 503 is about the IIS application pool.
Like Yagya said, please go to IIS Manager to make sure the application pool of Central Administration is started well.
And also, make sure SecurityTokenServiceApplicationPool is started well.
If the above doesn't work, do an IISRESET via opening Command Prompt(cmd)->typing IISRESET.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hi,
I checked application pool and started Central admin but after few seconds it stopped again and getting same error. I was installing Sharepoint 2016 RTM. After installation central admin did not open getting error 503.
I reset the iis, ran the Product configuration wizard, updated the service account in central admin advance setting. nothing happened.
Thanks

Check the Event Log for more clue, typically this happen becasuse
- Credentials are not correct for the Account running the App Pool.( double check it)
- Account running app pool locked
- Account running AppPool dont have Log on as a Service rights on the server, also log on as batch job.

Did you resolve this? If it is in a production environment it most certainly could be because of Policy settings.
