Understanding Form 12A of EPF: When to Fill It and Why It Matters?

Dear Seniors,

Please guide me about Form 12A of PF. When is it to be filled, and what is its relevance?

Waiting for a reply.

Dear Baneet,

Form 12A under Employees' Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Act is the monthly return of remittance. It is submitted on a monthly basis along with Form 5 (New Joiner Detail), Form 10 (Leaving employees details), Form 2 (Nomination & Declaration), and triplicate copy of the challan.

The monthly return of E.P.F. normally contains the following:
1. Form 2 (for new members during the month)
2. Form 5 (details of new joiners during the month)
3. Form 10 (details of employees who left during the month)
4. Form 12A (details of remittance as per challan)
5. Triplicate copy of the challan (through which monthly contributions have already been deposited on or before the 15th of the following month).

For any clarification, please write to me at mak007hr@rediffmail.com.

Thanks,

Form 5, 10, and 12A should be paid before the 15th or 25th of the following month. I believe the PF Challan should be submitted before the 15th, while Form 5, 10, and 12A should be paid before the 25th. Please provide a reply.

Thank you.
