 EPFO Members: File a complaint here if your company has not deposited the PF funds; you will get the whole amount, plus interest


Members of EPFO: You may file a complaint immediately via the EPFO portal if the firm does not deposit your PF funds. Each delay in PF is subject to severe penalties from EPFO.


Every business in the organized sector is required to deposit the monthly PF deducted from its workers with the Employees Provident Fund Organization, or EPFO. For every employee, PF is crucial. This involves collecting the funds that were granted to the employee at the time of their pension, on which the government additionally pays interest. It is often seen that some businesses withhold PF from their workers yet fail to credit the money to the workers' PF accounts.


Complain here if the firm has not deposited PF.


You may file a direct complaint on the EPFO's complaint site, epfigms.gov.in, if a firm fails to deposit the Provident Fund on time. Regarding non-deposit of PF, EPFO has extremely tight regulations. If the firm waits, it will be fined and will also be required to pay interest on the amount that is still owing. You will need to provide information on your PF account, a pay stub, and a statement, among other documents, when you file the complaint.


What kind of fine does the corporation face for failing to deposit profits?
