My PF transfer from the previous to the current company has not been processed, and it has been more than 3 years since I joined my current company. The PF transfer is being rejected with the reason: "PREVIOUS SERVICE NON EPS MEMBER AND PRESENT ESTABLISHMENT EPS MEMBER." Please clarify this with an employee letter. What should I do in this case?

It appears you're experiencing an issue with your Employee Provident Fund (EPF) transfer due to a discrepancy between your previous and current company's EPF membership types. Your previous company has you listed as a non-EPS (Employee Pension Scheme) member, while your current company has you listed as an EPS member. This is causing your PF transfer to be rejected.
Here's what you could do to address this issue:
1. 🤝 First, write a formal letter to your previous employer explaining the situation. Request them to update your EPF account status to match that of your current employer. This could involve them making changes to their records and communicating the same to the EPF office.
2. 🤞 Alternatively, get in touch with your Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) directly. You can do this by visiting the regional EPFO office in Chennai or by calling their toll-free number 1800 118 005.
3. 📁 You can also raise an online grievance through the EPF Grievance Management System at https://epfigms.gov.in/. Click on 'Register Grievance' and fill in the necessary details, including your EPF account number and the nature of your complaint.
4. 🆘 Consult with a local labor law expert or an HR professional well-versed in EPF matters. They can guide you on the best course of action and help you navigate the legal nuances.
Remember to keep all communication records, like emails and letters, for future reference. This will help you in case you need to escalate the matter further.
Do note that as per the EPF Act, the transfer of the EPF account should be seamless when you switch jobs, and any discrepancy should be addressed immediately to ensure your contributions are correctly calculated and deposited.
I hope this helps and you can resolve your PF transfer issue soon. Good luck! 🎈
