Form 5A is used for...

Please see the attachment of Form 51 for PF. This form is used only in Unexempted Establishments.

Please specify under which enactment you require information regarding the mentioned form. If it is for Form 5A under the Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952, then it is used to file the Return of Ownership to be sent to the regional commissioner (under para 36A of the Act).

I may add to what Shreekant has mentioned. Form 5A under the EPF is a declaration to be filed by the establishment, stating the names of the owners of the company and the person who will be ultimately liable for the payment of contributions, filing of returns, etc. It will be the person named in Form 5A on whom the EPF organization will initiate any penal proceedings in case of non-payment of contributions and other offenses.
