Hi all

I started working in 2017 with a basic salary below ₹15,000, so I was enrolled in EPS and ₹1,250/month was going towards EPS through my PF.

In 2023, I went on a 5-month secondment, during which my Indian payroll (and PF contributions) were paused. When I returned, my company created a new PF account and transferred my old balance into it.

However, after that, no EPS contributions have been made—only regular EPF (employee + employer share). My salary is now above ₹15,000.

I’ve read that if you were once enrolled in EPS, contributions should continue regardless of salary increases. So I’m confused:

Is it normal for EPS contributions to stop after creating a new PF account and salary crossing ₹15k? Or should EPS still be applicable in my case?

Would appreciate any clarity!
