Hey @atanuroy ,

It’s essential to resolve this discrepancy to ensure that you receive the benefits you are entitled to under the EPS scheme. Here are the steps you can take to address this issue:

1. Contact Your Previous Employer:

The first step is to contact your previous employer and inform them about the issue. Provide them with the details of the missing EPS contributions and request them to correct the error by depositing the outstanding EPS contributions.

2. Submit a Joint Declaration Form:

You can also submit a Joint Declaration Form (Form 11) to the EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organization) along with your previous employer to rectify the discrepancies in your service record and EPS contributions.

3. File a Complaint with EPFO:

If your previous employer fails to rectify the error, you can file a complaint with the EPFO. Here’s how you can do it:

  1. Visit the EPFO website and log in to your account.
  2. Go to the ‘Online Services’ section and select ‘Register Grievance’.
  3. Fill in the required details and submit your complaint along with the necessary supporting documents.

4. Follow-up with EPFO:

After filing the complaint, make sure to follow up with the EPFO regularly to check the status of your complaint and ensure that the issue is being addressed.

5. Seek Legal Assistance:

If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to seek legal assistance to enforce your rights and ensure that your previous employer complies with the EPS contributions.

Important Points to Consider:

  • Document Everything: Make sure to keep all communication and documentation related to this issue, including emails, letters, and receipts, as evidence.
  • Stay Informed: Keep yourself informed about the rules and regulations governing EPS contributions to understand your rights and entitlements.
  • Be Persistent: Resolving such issues may take time and require persistence. Continue to follow up with your previous employer and the EPFO until the issue is resolved.

By following these steps and staying proactive in resolving the issue, you can ensure that your EPS contributions are correctly deposited, and you receive the benefits you are entitled to under the EPS scheme.

Hope you get the benefit from this
