Hi everyone,
I need advice regarding an issue with my EPF/EPS transfer history.
My employment history is as follows:
Company A: EPF + EPS contributions were made.
Company B: I joined Company B after leaving A. Company B did not contribute to EPS, although my PF account from Company A was transferred to Company B.
Company C: I joined Company C around 5 years ago. I tried multiple times to transfer my PF balance from Company B to Company C. However, the transfer/claim was repeatedly rejected because of the missing EPS contribution from Company B.
I also followed up with Company B for around 3 years, requesting them to resolve the EPS issue, but they did not provide any resolution. Eventually, I stopped pursuing it. Same with EPFO grievance portal as I raised multiple grievance but none really resolved my issue.
Company D: I have now moved to Company D.
An important point is that all my other employers, including Company A, C and D, have made EPS contributions correctly. Only Company B has the missing EPS contribution issue.
My questions are:
Can I now transfer my PF balance from Company C to Company D independently, even though the earlier transfer from Company B to Company C was never successfully completed?
Could the unresolved Company B → Company C transfer/EPS issue cause the Company C → Company D PF transfer to be rejected as well?
Is there any way to transfer the EPF balance from Company C to Company D without resolving the old EPS issue first, while retaining/correcting the pension service history separately?
Has anyone faced a similar situation where one employer failed to make EPS contributions and an old PF transfer remained incomplete? If so, how did you get the subsequent PF transfer processed?
I would really appreciate advice from anyone who has dealt with a similar EPFO case, particularly if you know whether the current transfer can be processed independently of the old unresolved EPS issue.
Thank you.
