The Planck Legacy recent release revealed the presence of an enhanced lensing amplitude in the cosmic microwave background, which endorses the early universe positive curvature with a confidence level greater than 99%. Although General Relativity performs accurately in the present universe where spacetime is almost flat, its lost boundary term and the need of dark matter/energy might indicate its incompleteness. By utilising the Einstein–Hilbert action, this letter presents new extended field equations considering pre-existing universal curvatures and boundary contributions. The extended field equations are inclusive of Einstein field equations in addition to the boundary and the conformal curvature terms, which could remove the singularities from the theory.
