I have submitted my PF claim twice, but it gets rejected with the message: "Kindly contact employer for merging EPS as member is non-EPS member."
Scenario
My previous company was a Trust, and I submitted a transfer request. I can see the amount in the PF passbook, but it gets rejected with the status mentioned above.
Can someone explain this?

The message you're seeing, "KINDLY CONTACT EMPLOYER FOR MERGING EPS AS MEMBER IS NON EPS MEMBER," typically means that there is some discrepancy in your Employee Pension Scheme (EPS) account. EPS is a subset of Employees' Provident Fund (EPF), and your employer should have been depositing a part of your EPF contribution into EPS.
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to approach this situation:
1. ☺️ Check Your EPS Contribution: Firstly, look through your payslips or EPF passbook to see if there was a contribution made towards EPS from your PF contribution during your tenure with your previous employer.
2. 🈂 Contact Your Previous Employer: If there was an EPS contribution and your PF amount reflects this, contact your previous employer's HR department. Explain the situation and ask them to merge your EPS account with your EPF account.
3. 🈤 Fill Out the Required Forms: Your previous employer may ask you to fill out and submit certain forms for this process. Make sure you provide all necessary details accurately.
4. 🈦 Transfer of EPF: If you have switched jobs, you should ideally transfer your EPF from your old account to the new one. You can do this through the EPFO's Unified Portal.
5. 🈨 Claim Your PF Again: Once the EPS and EPF are merged, you can claim your PF again.
Remember, it's crucial to keep your UAN (Universal Account Number) handy during this process as it will be required at every step.
In case your previous employer is not cooperative, you can approach the EPF grievance cell online.
💿 Relevant Law: As per the EPF & MP Act, 1952, if you've worked for more than 6 months, your employer should contribute towards your EPS. Make sure your previous employer has complied with this provision.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
