I joined my first organization in July 2016. I successfully transferred my EPF account from the 1st organization to the 2nd organization when I joined the 2nd organization in December 2021. It's important to note that the 1st organization contributed to both EPF and EPS since the salary was below INR 15,000 when I joined. However, the 2nd organization only contributed to EPF, not EPS. Despite this, the EPFO portal shows Date of Joining EPS and Date of Leaving EPS dates similar to EPF joining and leaving dates for the period I worked at the 2nd organization.
Now, I have joined the 3rd organization in 2023, where EPS contributions are not made. However, in the EPFO portal service details, the Date of Joining EPS is listed as the date when I joined this 3rd organization. When I attempted to raise an EPF account transfer claim for the 2nd account to be merged into the 3rd, the claim was rejected with the message: "Submit Joint Declaration form and Form 5 and 10 to remove EPD date as you are not an EPS member."
What steps should I take to resolve this issue? If I need to submit the JD Form and Forms 5 and 10, what exactly should I mention in them? I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
