- If your report is short of the required period (21/33 months or 5 years), then you can submit your salary receipt for the missing period. for eg. if you start your first Job in July 2017 and you request for pension report in July 2019 (after 24 months), then the pension report covers the data only up to December 2018 (only for 18 months). Then you can submit your salary receipts for the period of January 2019-March 2019 to complete 21 months pension contribution report.
