I was working at IBM India from November 1995 to April 2013 and then joined Lenovo. Lenovo allocated a new PF number to me, and I had all PF funds from my old account transferred to the new account. Recently, when I checked my service history on the unified portal, it did not display any service records for IBM but only for the new company. I reached out to EPFO, and they provided me with Annexure-K, in which IBM had mentioned the EPS (scheme 1995) joining date as 01/01/2008. However, the EPF joining date is correctly stated as November 20, 1995.
My understanding is that the Date of Joining (DOJ) for EPS and EPF should be the same, but IBM has indicated the EPS joining date as January 1, 2008. What could be the reasons for this discrepancy, and how can I have this corrected?

The best way is to visit your regional PF office & sort this out the matter .

Hi,
I too had a similar issue when I worked in a Gurgaon-based company. For me, there is a difference of 3 years with respect to EPS and EPF date of joining (my EPF date of joining was 15/09/2004 whereas EPS date of joining was shown as 01/07/2008). Ideally, both EPF and EPS date of joining should be the same. If there is a mismatch, it was a mistake of the employer (in my case - an Exempted Trust) due to the improper way of updating the records or not properly contributing the Pension portion to EPFO. It's better to escalate this to your previous company's HR team and then to the top management, asking them to rectify it through the respective EPFO channel. The impact is that you will lose your pensionable benefits if it is not rectified. My case is still under process (for almost more than a year) with EPFO Gurgaon after the employer had submitted the Annual return for the missed/gap period along with Form 7 (PS) and 8 (PS). I am awaiting a response. It is quite a tough job, but it can be sorted out with proper escalation and close follow-up.

Did you manage to solve your issue?
I am also facing the exact same issue. My service history in EPF is not showing the history for the pre-UAN period. When I raised a grievance via "EPFiGMS," they told me to submit Annexure-K.
From where to get the Annexure-K?
