How to Resolve EPF and EPS Claim Rejections Due to Contribution Gaps After Rejoining?

karan-singh-kharadi
I was employed in a company for 3 years. As operations got suspended, employees were given a notice and informed to look out for opportunities. The Date of Exit was marked as per the last day of working for all employees. After 2 months, I rejoined, and contributions were made to the same PF account. Now, in the EPF Passbook, there is a 2-month gap in contributions. Every time I claim EPF & EPS, it gets rejected for the same reason: "Gap in Contribution." How can this be sorted out?

EPFO Contribution and Suspension

EPFO does not know if you were serving or on suspension. Your contribution has to be deposited if you are shown as on the job. If you left the job, you must be exited from EPF. Please check the ECR for those two months. Approach HR to resolve this gap issue.
