Hello,
The Employees' Pension Scheme 1995 (EPS) in India is a social security scheme that provides benefits to employees in the event of their superannuation, disability, or death. A break in service for this scheme typically occurs when an employee has a certain period of non-contributory service. Here's a basic template format to record details of a break in service:

Remember, maintaining accurate records of any breaks in service is crucial for determining the accurate pensionable service and salary.
