EPS Query: Still an EPS member after withdrawal?

sayantan-basak4697874
I was employed with Ericsson as my first employer and my basic was less than 15000 at that time. I had left the organization for higher studies and had withdrawn my EPF and EPS amount completely (with zero EPF and EPS as balance).
Post higher education I am employed with EY and now my basic is more than 15000. Am I still an EPS member or not?

Please help me with a detailed explanation. Thanks in advance!

If Universal Account Number (UAN) was generated at the time of first employment, I doubt, if your UAN is still active. If it is active, you will be covered by Pension Fund also as an existing member. At the same time, if you could get a new UAN, then you will be excluded from EPS.

I hope others would give some inputs. Please leave comments in this practical scenario (not the AI generated comments!)
