Struggling to Merge Pension Certificates with UAN: How Can I Secure My Pension?

Dear Sir, I have worked in several private organizations throughout my career, spanning from 1981 to 2020, with a new PF number assigned in each new organization. I hold a 14.5 years scheme certificate for the first organization only. My UAN was created in 2014 in the penultimate organization, and I had my last two services merged in the final organization. Unfortunately, for the services in the middle organizations, totaling 8 years, I have lost hope of obtaining pension scheme certificates.

I attempted to merge the available physical pension scheme certificate with the last organization through the EPFO online portal but have been unsuccessful since 2020. I am seeking your guidance on the process to merge the available physical scheme certificate to secure my pension.
