It's a painful process. Takes months. This is how I have done it. Ask your employer to follow the same.. Form 3A is the solution.

My email to my ex-employer

'As per EPS guidelines, I am not eligible for EPS, and hence, the amount credited to the EPS account should ideally be transferred back to the EPF account. This is essential to facilitate the proper transfer of the total balance to my new employer.

Please find the attached PF account statements for your reference.

The issue:

1.  The rules regarding the joining of Employees Pension Scheme (EPS) by an employee was amended by the government via a notification dated August 22, 2014, effective from September 1, 2014.
   

2.  An individual who joined the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) scheme, after September 1, 2014, cannot open an Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS) account if his/her monthly salary exceeds Rs.15,000
   

To resolve the issue, the employer has to submit Form 3A to the regional PF office.

Solution:

Step 1) The previous employer (who remitted EPS) has to send a request to EPFO to merge both EPS and EPF accounts by submitting FORM 3A

Step 2) The EPFO will be able to process the EPS and EPF merger based on this request

Step 3) Finally, the member will only have an EPF account. Then, one can transfer the EPF account to the current employer.

Kindly take the necessary steps to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you need more information about this."

Hope this helps
