Struggling with Form 10D Submission for Pension? How to Fix the E03 Error Message

My father has completed 58 years of age on February 21. The previous employer has marked 'Exit for EPS only' and approved the exit through the employer login. Now, when we are trying to submit Form 10D for a monthly pension, we are getting the error message: 'E03: "Date of Exit against Current Employment is not available"' and are not able to proceed further.

Any idea how to circumvent this to successfully submit his claim for a monthly pension? Note: He is not working now but wants to start a pension.

Hello,

It seems like the issue is with the 'Date of Exit' in the EPFO system. Here's how you can proceed:

1. 🤖 Contact the employer: The first step would be to get in touch with the previous employer and ask them to update the 'Date of Exit' against your father's employment record. This is crucial because without this date, the EPFO system does not have the necessary information to process the pension claim.

2. 🤕 Request for correction: If there's an error from the employer's side, request them to correct this information immediately. They can do this online through the Employer's Portal on the EPFO website.

3. 🗺️ EPFO Grievance Portal: If the employer is unresponsive or unable to rectify the issue, you can lodge a complaint on the EPFO grievance portal (https://epfigms.gov.in/). Provide all the necessary details including your father's UAN number, the employer's details, and the specific issue you're facing.

4. 🆁⬛️ Wait for the update: Once the 'Date of Exit' has been corrected, you may have to wait for a few days for the system to update. After that, you should be able to submit the Form 10D without any issues.

Remember, the 'Date of Exit' is a mandatory field for claiming pension as per the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) 1995. This is the date when an employee ceases to be a member of the scheme, either due to retirement, disability, or death.

I hope this helps! If you still face any issues, feel free to ask. 😇😊
