Continuing the discussion from [[Winners] Most Valuable Members [MVM] December 2020]):
Hi,
Could you plz let me know why we are unable to upload PF statement in PF site . When we uploaded it gives error message as
Error Member is not a member of pension scheme. EPS wages should be zero. found on line numbers: [127, 130, 131, 137]
Could you plz guide us.
Hi @C0025
As far as I knew, it’s mainly because of the EPS column being filled and value being added for an employee in the ECR file wherein that employee is not eligible / EPS account is not created so far.
Employee joining post 2014 Sep is not eligible for EPS (Pension scheme), due to which you might be the error.
I have also uploaded the PF error reports for your reference.
Hope this helps 
ECR_ErrorCodesList_14042012.pdf (328.6 KB)
Employee whose wages are above 15000 are not eligible for PS as per the amended rules of EPS via notification dated Aug 22, 2014 and ais applicable from september 1, 2014.
Despite of doing all these still if you face difficulty share the statement along with your login credentials. I will do it for you.
Thank you very much Mr. Dinesh. You are right. As you said, Now validation is made based on PF wages at the time of entry from January 2021 onwards.
Good Morning Mr.Dinesh,
I have a query with regard to the EPS contribution for employees who have joined after 2014.
If an employee has withdrawn the PF prior to 2014 and taken a break, rejoined after 2014 with basic salary above 15K… will he contribute towards EPS also.
Regards
Sarita
Hi Sarita
No Employee will not be eligible for EPS once if they withdraw the full amount and rejoin again.

Hey @vsmv,
In such a case scenario please use the support option and raise a ticket with support to get quick help.
I have also forwarded your concern to the respective team. They will reach out to you in sometime.

Just for info check his age whether he will fall under EPS scheme or not…
Then apply tick mark fort he same if his age above 55+ ECR cannot be upload with figures.
HI Bharath,
It is because the employees’ salary (monthly EPF wages as on joining) is above 15000. The DOJ is 18-07-2022. The EPS ceiling was removed only last month…
His previous employer has removed him from EPS showing his wages as more than 15K.
In this scenario, you will have to add his EPS amount to EPF & keep ESP as ‘0’ zero.
Dear Venki,
To clear the error in the ECR text file you have to do modification as shown in image.
Hope this will help you.
Kind Regards,
N. Yogarani
Hi Venki,
Recently whoever joins you cannot contribute towards EPS. Employer contribution is fully provided to Employer PF. It has been 2 years or more since this has been implemented but there is no specific article or notification to support.
Dear Venki,
Kindly do this changes in ECR file:
REDDY#~#21500#~#21000#~#0~#15000#~#2580#~#0#~#2580#~#0#~#0
Then it won’t count this person in EPS while generating challan.
And in GreytHR first remove tick mark from EPS contibution under Bank/PF/ESI then go to payroll input salary section and just below CTC you will see PF related item then click it->EPS basic-> override it to zero. Then from next time onwards it won’t consider/calculate his EPS.

Dear Bharat,
Kindly do this changes in ECR file (need to make EPS wage and EPS contibution zero through manual correction);
REDDY#~#21500#~#21000#~#0~#15000#~#2580#~#0#~#2580#~#0#~#0
Then it won’t count this person in EPS while generating challan.

Hi Venki
You have to remove tick mark in EPS in Employee and process. Then pension will be zero and ECR file will be updated.
Hi all,
Don’t you think this ECR is wrong??? Why is a difference in EPF Wages & EDLI wages???
Thanks & Regards
