Dear Colleague,
To become eligible for Employees' Pension, the member has to complete 10 years of contributory membership under EPS as per the provisions of Employees Provident Fund and MP Act. If you transfer your previous accumulations to your current EPF Account under UAN then your service will be counted for Pension calculation and eligibility. If you had closed your previous PF accounts, then it is not possible to continue and count the past service. Please check on this. If not closed, then ensure that you are transferring the accumulations under PF / EPS to the current UAN/ PF A/c Number. Then see whether you had done 10 years of service. If 10 years is arrived or as and when you complete 10 years of service, you will become eligible for EPS.

You mentioned in the post that the employee was absent,later you said his epf contriution was skipped. Hence if he was absent,and not employed anywhere it means he will not be eligible,But if his contributions are skipped by employer inspite of being on job then its the lapse on employer part.

Reckoned from 01.01.13 the employee has completed the eligibility period of 10 years service. Pension is calculated using the formula = (Service Period x Pensionable Salary)/70. Pensionable salary is the average of the last drawn salary.
