EPF transfer rejected as PF more than 15k and not eps member

Below is my situation:

  • I joined my first job in March 2019 : In my first month salary ( PF wages = ₹14,974), that was ≤ ₹15k.

  • But Later (same job) 2nd Month Onwards EPF wages rose above 15k (₹17,193).

  • When EPFO says: “EPS applies if pay at the time of becoming PF member ≤ ₹15,000”, the “pay” = EPF wages (Basic + DA + retaining allowance).

I am confused in my scenario if I am eligible for EPS or not, because my PF transfer got rejected due to this …. I changed company from A to B to C and my PF is stuck in each company and i don’t have clarity what needs to be done from my end If my EPS data is wrong…

Can anyone Please provide me clarity on my case?
