EPS Contribution Errors: How to Fix Discrepancies and Ensure Pension Eligibility

• Many salaried employees discover EPS contribution errors only when transferring PF or filing pension claims.
• Discrepancies arise from confusion over eligibility (basic salary > Rs 15,000) and employer filing mistakes.
• Check your EPFO passbook for incorrect EPS contributions, missing entries, or misaligned service dates.
• EPFO allows corrections; excess amounts are transferred to EPF or records adjusted, but employer cooperation is crucial.
• If employer fails to act, use the EPFiGMS grievance portal with clear, factual documentation for resolution.

Why It Matters: Proactively check EPS entries and work with employers or EPFO to correct errors for smooth pension claims.
