The present specification proposes a method for receiving system information by a user equipment (UE) configured with an extended discontinuous reception (eDRX) in a wireless communication system. Specifically, the method includes the step of receiving a paging message including an indicator indicating system information modification in a modification period within an active time of the eDRX; determining whether to receive the system information by comparing the active time with the modification period; and receiving the system information in a next modification period when it is determined to receive the system information.
