EPF withdrawals can leave EPS records untransferred
In short
Many workers think their EPS pension record moves automatically when they withdraw their EPF money, but it does not. Mint Money says EPS works separately and the service history still needs to be transferred.
This matters because a missing transfer can affect pension records later. The report does not say how many people face this problem or whether any official rule has changed.
What the reporting says
Many employees withdraw their EPF balance and assume their EPS service history transfers automatically, but it does not, according to a Mint Money summary. The report says EPS operates separately and that the service record still needs to be transferred. It does not say how many workers are affected or whether any rule has changed.
Why it matters
The Mint Money summary says EPF withdrawal does not automatically move EPS service history, because EPS operates separately. That matters for employees whose pension records may not be updated unless a transfer is done. The source does not give a procedure, a deadline, or any official change, so the practical scope remains unclear.
