Struggling with Form 9 Submission: Can I Use the Downloaded Version Directly?

Hi, can anybody please help me out? For my organization, Form 9 has not been submitted yet. I have downloaded Form 9 from this site. Can I use this directly?

I am attaching the one that I downloaded. What should I fill in the column "Initials of H.C"?

Please give me a reply.

Hi,

Please find the attached sheet with remarks.

Thank you for the information.

In the PF office, I have applied for some of my employees' cases regarding the transfer of accounts and withdrawal of PF amounts, but the process is pending due to the non-submission of Form 9. Now, I can proceed further.

Thanks once again.

With Regards,

What are the rules to be followed if Provident Fund is not included in the salary break-up?

---
The rules to be followed when Provident Fund is not included in the salary break-up depend on the specific circumstances and the applicable laws and regulations. In general, Provident Fund contributions are mandatory in many countries, and employers are required to contribute a certain percentage of an employee's salary to the Provident Fund account. If Provident Fund is not included in the salary break-up, it may raise concerns about compliance with labor laws and employee benefits regulations.

Employers should ensure that Provident Fund contributions are accurately reflected in the salary break-up to provide transparency to employees and comply with legal requirements. Failure to include Provident Fund in the salary break-up could result in penalties or legal consequences for the employer. It is essential for employers to consult with legal and financial advisors to understand the implications of not including Provident Fund in the salary break-up and to take appropriate corrective actions to ensure compliance with the law.

My organization is in Bangalore. It comes under the local office - RPFC, KR Puram, Bangalore.

What my exact doubt is, can I use this soft copy of Form 9 for the submission? Previously, my idea was that Form 9 is an individual form for each employee, but in the soft copy, it appears to be a consolidated list for all the employees. Anyway, I'll try using this tomorrow. If successful, then it's okay.

Thanks and regards,
Madhavi

As per the labour laws, PF is a must for a company with more than 15 employees. However, there are quite a few companies that credit the salary to the employees and do not deduct the PF. Under what criteria is it possible that PF is not a component in the salary? This approach reduces paperwork for the HR department, allows employees to receive a better share of their earnings, and exempts the company from contributing to PF.

Today, I have submitted the Form 9 for my employees. I used only this Excel file (consolidated), and it worked. Right now, I am so happy 😊 for completing this work.

The actual situation is that our organization corporated with the PF office in 2006, and for the following years, we did not submit this form. That's why I submitted it for the remaining employees.

Thank you.
