Importance of Monitoring and Correcting EPS Records to Secure Retirement Benefits

Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) contributions include a portion directed to the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), which provides monthly pensions after retirement. While EPF balances are commonly monitored, EPS records often receive less attention despite their importance in determining pension benefits. Errors or discrepancies in EPS records, maintained by employers, can affect pension calculations and may lead to rejection of EPF claims. Experts advise employees to regularly check and correct EPS records to safeguard retirement income.
