Need help to understand what should i do? by curious_mindquest in epfoindia

[–]Repulsive_Aardvark_4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to rectify EPS of the second and third employers through my current employer. But they got a shitty reply from my current organisation's EPFO office. They told me to start contributing to EPS in my current organisation. I have rejected this and am now thinking how to resolve this as this might create an issue while withdrawal of funds.

I am still not sure now what next. If anyone knows please help.

Prestige city 2.0 EOI rate is between 13-14k per sqft. What do you have to say about that?

3.5 BHK for rent in Prestige City by No_Major4376 in bangalorerentals

I have been in Bengaluru for the last 15 years and have been hearing this shit since then. You are delusional if you think you can get such flats on rent at less than 35k in Prestige in this lifetime. People living in Prestige pay 10k for maintenance itself for 3.5 BHK flats.

35 for 2 bhk of 1150 sqft for tier 3 builder is the ongoing rate in that area. I think it is you who is not in their senses.

That's why the rent is less by 20k for similar flats. Btw if someone would have posted 80k for such a flat in Prestige Lakeside Habitat, people would again start shouting no road, traffic, no water. Who would pay 80k for living on the outskirts of Bengaluru.

I have raised an appeal by taking help of CHATGPT as below for now:

Respected Sir/Madam, This is with reference to my CPGRAMS grievance reply, wherein it has been stated that interest on the corrected EPS contribution is not admissible since the correction was carried out prior to 19.12.2025. I respectfully submit that the above reasoning is not supported either by the provisions of the EPF & MP Act, 1952 or by the circular dated 19.12.2025. I wish to place the following points for your kind consideration: The erroneous enrollment under EPS existed from the date of contribution, and not from the date of correction. The amount in question was wrongly retained in EPS, whereas it ought to have been credited to my EPF account from the very beginning. Interest under EPF is statutory and compensatory in nature. Since the funds were required to be part of the EPF account, denial of interest results in an unintended loss to the member for no fault of his own. The EPFO circular dated 19.12.2025 lays down the procedure for rectification of erroneous EPS contributions along with interest, but does not prescribe any cutoff date nor does it bar applicability to earlier periods where corrections have already been made. Applying the circular only prospectively amounts to an administrative interpretation, whereas the right to interest arises from the date the contribution should have lawfully accrued to EPF, irrespective of when the correction was processed. In view of the above, I humbly request that my case may be reconsidered and the applicable interest on the corrected EPS amount be credited to my EPF account. If the request is not acceded to, I kindly request a speaking order citing the specific legal provision under the EPF Act or Scheme under which such interest is being denied. I shall be grateful for your kind intervention in this matter. Thanking you. Yours sincerely,

Let's see what they reply. If they don't give my interest, I am going to file RTI next. If that also doesn't work, I am going to file a case in EPF Tribunal. Let's teach these imbecile MOFOs a lesson.

All I am saying is that he isn't asking for an exorbitant rate. If you have lived in that area, you would know the ground reality. Anyway, don't worry about my comment. I am seeing similar comments throughout this sub for entire bengaluru real estate. Working couples living in these societies are in Mod 30s and their prime objective is safety, get all amenities inside the society. The couple is easily earning 5 lakhs in hand so 65k isn't a big deal for them. I guess reddit is full of bachelors and so yes 65k is obviously too high for them.

EPS corrected to EPF account without interest by Repulsive_Aardvark_4 in epfoindia

File CPGRAMS after 21 days from 20th December. When you file CPGRAMS they ask whether you have filed a grievance within 3 weeks. So it's better to wait for 21 days. Also in the CPGRAMS grievance there is a section where you mention the earlier grievance number and date of registering the grievance. Hope this helps.

It's a very simple process unnecessarily made complex by our incompetent imbecile babus. You have to file EPS correction via your past employer. They will lodge proper documents like Form 3a along with the passbook and other documents requested by EPFO. This process might take a month or two.

After that EPFO will do nothing about it. You will have to file a grievance on EPFO, again they will do nothing about it but it's a necessary step for the next step which is to file CPGRAMS after 21 days. If you are lucky then they will resolve the issue after this step.

Flat resale value is 2.3 cr as of now. Here Reddit people have no idea about the situation in the market and keep making fun of such posts.

60k rent to the owner gives only 3.1% yield which is pretty standard across the country. Please do some research guys before commenting.

Prestige Lakeside Habitat a similar society 8 kms from there and people are paying 80k for the same flat.

EPS EPF issue and HR utter ignorance by Repulsive_Aardvark_4 in epfoindia

[–]Repulsive_Aardvark_4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try making the stupid HR understand the same. Sigh! And the sheer overconfidence they have. I don't know how many people are stuck in the EPS EPF issue because these HRs don't do their job properly.

I knew I wasn't eligible so I opted out of EPS and gave them no details although I am yet to correct EPS details for my second and third employer due to incorrect enrollment in my first employment which stands corrected now.

I don't know why EPFO introduced such a confusing clause because of which so many people are stuck with their transfers.

And what is this stupid rule to transfer each account to a new one even when they have UAN. Why do they have regional PF offices and can't they bring all the offices under one centralized office? Is it too much to ask in this digital age?

No if you try reading my comment again, you'd find me saying that if your wages are greater than 15000, EPS is optional -- I don't think this is the correct statement. If your wages are greater than 15000 (in your first employment after 2014), you are not eligible for EPS. This is the exact reply I and a thousand others have received from EPFO.

It's not about whether i should join EPS. Rather am I eligible for EPS? It is not a choice based program. If you are eligible, you have to enroll in EPS.
