I applied for EPS withdrawal, and the amount settled was only 45K, but my actual EPS balance on the passbook login is 68K. Total service 4.7 years, last drawn basic salary 18K. As per Table D, it should be 18,000 x 5.02 = 93,600. Why did they withhold 23K? How is it calculated?
My PAN card is linked and verified, and I have submitted Form 15G as well.

As per my knowledge you may calculated wrongly, because they did not hold amount from EPS account and PAN and 15 G is not required to settle the EPS amount, check once again

What is the right calculation then? I have 68K in EPS fund as per EPFO passbook. They settled only 45K. What’s the basis of this calculation?

Hi Viswajith,
For PF and EPS withdrawal, I agree with Svlrkhr3. I have also not heard of any such calculation for EPS when it is withdrawn along with PF. It may be better to either check with the RPFC directly or with the PF exit settlement team from your company on the calculations.

The first time I raised a grievance regarding this, they asked me to resubmit form 10C. I did, but they rejected it, asking why it was resubmitted. When I raised a second grievance, they gave some unrelated response and closed it without a resolution. I have written to the email address of the concerned PF office one week ago and am awaiting a response.

Meanwhile, I am surprised that none of the members here are able to explain the basis on which EPS Settlement is calculated before completion of 10 years of service. This seems to be a grey area.

Dear Viswajith, Maximum Contribution to EPS is Rs15,000/- (EPS Wages) @ 8.33%-Rs1,250/- last drawn basic salary 18K-It has no relevance to withdrawal.Check your EPS Wages from EPF Pass Book

I have around 68K EPS amount in my passbook. Why did they settle only 45K? How is it calculated? That’s my question?

Dear Viswajithcv,
Withdrawal of pension, nothing to do with balance in the account or the amount accrued in the account. In Pension, last salary and pension years these are the two things relevant.
There is no statement of balance or accrued amount in Pension. How you are saying your pension balance is shown as 68K? I am surprised. May be it has started recently.
While withdrawing from Pension your last salary is multiplied by the factor in Corresponding Table ‘D’.
Your last salary is Rs.15000 (and not Rs.18000). Pension is contributed on maximum Rs. 15000. You worked for 4.7 years means 5 years.
Your Pension calculation would be
15000 x 5.02 = 75,300
Withdrawal from the EPS account is taxable.
You need to make a complaint / correspondence with EPFO.

The EPFO passbook portal shows a detailed break-up of EPF & EPS balances. Even if the basic salary is considered as 15K, the settled amount doesn't match.
I had raised a grievance, for which I was asked to resubmit form 10C. Accordingly, I resubmitted form 10C, but this claim was rejected, asking for an explanation for the resubmission.
I raised another grievance, which was closed without a satisfactory explanation or resolution.
I have written to the concerned PF office and am still awaiting their response.

Dear Friend,
May be showing Pension balance started recently.
I just read as under:
While calculating Pensionable Salary we have to take the average of monthly pay drawn during 60 months preceding the date of cessation of membership. As of 1st April 2019, the Pensionable Salary is to be calculated on last 12 months salary.
You can take up your grievance with ‘NIDHI AAPKE NIKAT’.

As per the EPS Scheme, you were contributing only Rs. 1250 per month (reckoned on a pensionable salary of Rs. 15,000, which has been the ceiling amount) to the EPS corpus which for 4.7 years works out to Rs. 68,750. This is what your passbook is revealing.
Now, since you have foreclosed the scheme before completing the minimum eligibility of 10 years of service, they are to return the contribution as per Table D. So, it has to be Rs. 15,000 X 5.02 = Rs. 75,300, but the payment of Rs. 45K means there is something amiss. If your EPS corpus is Rs. 68,750, then you definitely have a case for an additional amount.

Dear KK!HR,
I also said same thing. I further suggested in next post that he needs to take average of monthly pay drawn during 60 months preceding the date of cessation of membership.
I now confirm that he needs to take average of monthly pay drawn during 60 months preceding the date of cessation of membership as per the amendment made by the GSR 609 (E) dated 22.08.2014.
Still there is a deviation or difference he has to make his case as what I suggested i.e. waith ‘NIDHI AAPKE NIKAT’. Because in RPFO no one will give him proper reply.
I have also said that Withdrawal from the EPS account is taxable.
I further say that the Notification GSR 609 (E) dated 22.08.2014 was set aside by HC Kerala. The SLP filed by EPFO against this set aside was dismissed by SC.
Due to all the above huge ambiguities persist over there. When the whole amendment of 2014 in regards to Pension is set aside then one need to think of issues may create out of it.
Yesterday when I posted here on this thread I was not remembering all this things.
