How Should I Handle Pending PF Contributions from 2010 in My Annual Return Submission?

I am an employee in a firm as an HR executive. I have to submit the Annual PF return. There are some employees whose PF contributions have not yet been deposited since July 2010. Now, I am going to submit the return and include the pending contributions. Please suggest to me if I have to revise Form 12, 5, and 10 from July 2010 to February 2011.

Simply submit your annual return with the Provident Fund Organisation and prepare Form 3A with the date of departure for those employees whose provident fund contributions have not been deposited.

Dear Sunilkumar,

Please prepare a challan stating "OUTSTANDING PAYMENT FROM JULY 2010 to FEB-2011" and enter the amount that was not deposited. Prepare four copies, attach a cheque for that amount, and submit the same in SBI. Submit triplicate to the PF office with 3A and 6A. Also, enter the details of those employees whose contributions were not paid in 6A and prepare 3A for these employees.

How can you revise the form that has already been submitted to the PF authorities every month?

You can prepare a Supplementary Form 12A for any left-out contributions and send it along with the paid Supplementary challan.

Regards,
S. Sethupathy, Erode.

Dear Sunilkumar, the forms once submitted cannot be revised. You should submit 3A and 6A now with all the details of current and former employees. If you still have doubts, you can submit the supplementary form 12A as advised by Mr. S. Sethupathyji.

PF Contribution Error and Interest Query

I am working in a manufacturing company as an HR. In last month's PF contribution Challan, by mistake, I submitted Rs. 62 instead of Rs. 64 in Account No. 22. How can I submit my pending Rs. 2 this month or in the future? Since this is a pending amount, will interest be applicable on it? If yes, then how much interest and the total amount do I have to submit?

Warm Regards,
Deepak Agarwal

I have a question as an example. Here, I'm keeping it for discussion and requesting you to guide me. The company is registered under the Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, and the employee strength is around 800. For the last 2 years, we have not been remitting the PF contributions. Prior to that, we had remitted the PF contributions for almost 5 years. Now, the management has decided to continue paying the PF for the last 2 years.

Procedure for Calculating and Remitting PF Contributions

Could you please advise on how to calculate the PF contribution and what the procedure is to remit it at the PF office? I am looking forward to your suggestions.
