An employee whose salary is more than Rs 15000 joins EPF on or after 1st Sept 2014 will not be covered by the Pension of the EPF. But due to oversight the employer should have contributed 8.33% of the contribution due on Rs 15000, ie, Rs 1250, to EPS (Pension Fund) instead of contributing it to PF along with the remaining 3.67% due by him. This is only a technical error. For this reason the member's PF will not be lost. You can ask the employer to clarify the issue, ie, why he has not contributed the entire 12% due by the employer to EPF but has bifurcated his contribution as 8.33% to pension Fund and the remaining 3.67% only to PF?
EPFO can simply do it, but will not do it because they have a KRA that maximum claim rejection. Therefore, you have to get a clarification letter above mentioned and submit it to the EPFO. Then you can transfer the balance to the new account. Please ensure that the present employer is not doing the same mistake. Also please note that the above date of 1st Sept 2014 does not apply to employees who are already members of EPF.
