EPF transfer rejected as previous employer contributed to EPS though not eligible

Dear Community,

Recently my PF transfer request was rejected by EPFO due to EPS mismatch.
On investigation I found out that I am not eligible for EPS as when I started my carrier in 2017 my salary was above 15,000. However my first two companies contributed to EPS wrongly due to oversight/wrong filing of Form 11. But the third company never contributed to EPS. And now I am not able to transfer PF from my third company to current(4th) company.

Here is my job history:

  1. Org A: DOJ: 17/04/2017, DOE: 12/10/2018 → Wrongly contributed to EPS
  2. Org B: DOJ: 22/10/2018, DOE: 30/09/2022 → Wrongly contributed to EPS
  3. Org C: DOJ: 03/10/2022, DOE: 09/02/2024 → No contribution to EPS, PF balance transfered to Org C, EPS balance was not transfered
  4. Org B: DOJ: 12/02/2024 → current company(rehired) - PF transfer rejected due to EPS mismatch

I have received EPS clarification letter from Org A(soft copy). I am also following up with Org B to receive the clarification letter. But, somehow I am not able to submit joint declaration online for Org A.

Can anyone in this forum kindly suggest what I need to do to rectify the issue?
