Wrong Allotment Of PF Numbers

versha.tanya
We have hired some contractual employees in 2010-2011 and allotted them PF number and their PF return was also filed in 2010-2011. Due to some clerical errors around 15 employees have got the same PF number which were allotted to above mentioned contractual employees. Employees have joined the organisation from June 2011 on wards. The error was found when we are preparing our annual PF return. On a monthly basis we deposit the Form 5 to PF authorities. Can we sent a revised form 5 to PF authorities with new PF number? But can PF authorities allowed us to give the fresh PF no. to the employees who joined in June 2011? Is there any remedy to the problem?

Dear Versa Tanyaji,
Yes, you have solution for this problem,
1. Firstly you should write a explanation letter to the Regional EPF office copy to concerned EPF Enforcement Officer.
2. To give the new number to the employees
3. To give the transfer application for theose employees which the number changed
It will takes some times but you should followed very closely otherwise it will be make more complicated one. Eventhough you consult with your E.O also, he can help you to overcome the problem.
