The rule in plain words
Number of members (headcount) cannot be less than number of beneficiaries of contributions to discretionary pension benefits in year N.
All the values are in the MB supervisory function column (0010).
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
R_01.00: Number of members (Headcount), MB Supervisory function >= R_02.00: Number of beneficiaries of contributions to discretionary pension benefits in year N, MB Supervisory function
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the templates below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Compare the values in your file. If the first is smaller than it may be, one of them is wrong: check both before you change either.
- 03EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark R 01.00 and R 02.00 as reported.
- 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
Number of beneficiaries of contributions to discretionary pension benefits in year N can then be at most 1,200.
A file that reports 1,200 passes. One that reports 1,300 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
