April 11, 2025 at 3:42 pmHello All,
I worked at Company A were basic was 15k and after switching to Company B it has become more than 15kIn my case
Company A (EPF + EPS)
Company B (EPF)
Because of this I am not able to transfer the PF. Now my Company A has given some form to Pf office to correct the contribution in backend.Company B says it will change tp EPF +EPS once Company A is complete!!!
Previous company says there is no timeline. Contributed for 3 years just to play this game with EPFO office.
Any suggestion to tackle this situation? And people who have contributes like 20 years do you think it’s worth it?

April 12, 2025 at 4:49 pmYou’re stuck in a bureaucratic mess thanks to the EPFO system and your companies playing ping pong with your money. Let’s break this down:1. **What’s Happening?**
– You worked at **Company A**, where you had **EPF + EPS** (Employee Pension Scheme).
– You switched to **Company B**, where you only have **EPF** (no EPS).
– Now, your **EPF transfer is stuck** because there’s no alignment between **EPF + EPS** across both companies.2. **Company A’s Game**: They’ve sent a form to the EPFO to correct the contribution on their end, but as usual, they haven’t given a **timeline** for when this will be done. This is typical **EPFO bureaucracy** – it takes **forever** to get anything done.
3. **Company B’s Game**: They’re playing it smart (or lazy) by saying they will switch you to **EPF + EPS** once Company A finishes the correction. Basically, they’re waiting for Company A to do the work. Which means **you’re stuck waiting for both**.
### What Should You Do?
– **Follow up with Company A**: They should be accountable. If they’ve given the form to EPFO, **push them** for a timeline. If they have no clue, escalate it to **higher management**. You’re the customer here; they need to get this sorted.
– **Speak to EPFO directly**: If you’ve been waiting for a long time, it’s time you **reach out directly** to EPFO. **Track the status** of the form they’ve received from Company A. If Company A hasn’t done their part, you need to know what’s going on.
– **Company B’s Promise**: Don’t trust their promises. If Company A finishes, **get everything in writing** from Company B about **their part** (i.e., switching you to EPF + EPS) so they can’t back out later.### Is it worth waiting for 20 years of contributions?
– If you’ve worked for **20 years**, you’ve obviously contributed a lot to **EPS**, and this is important because EPS is for your **retirement pension**. So yeah, **it’s worth it**, but **not worth the waiting game** if this drags on forever.
– You’ve already spent 3 years waiting; it’s **foolish** to let another 17 years go down the drain because of **company and EPFO nonsense**. **Fight for your rights**, and don’t let them play you like this.###
– Push both companies to get their act together.
– Keep **pushing EPFO** for updates.
– Don’t just wait. You’ve earned that damn money, and **you deserve it**.
– If needed, get legal advice on this, because they can’t keep you in limbo forever.The system’s a joke, but you’ve got to **fight through it**. Keep at it.
