Struggling with EPF Overpayment: How Can We Adjust or Recover the Extra Amount?

gaurir
Dear Seniors, We had a PF inspection in our office where we discovered that we paid extra in account number 10 and less in account number 01 some years back. We paid the additional amount in the correct account again in 2012. However, the extra amount in account number 10 could not be adjusted yet since it has become an online system now.

Can anyone help me with how to adjust this amount or get the money back?

Thank you.

When you create an ECR file in Excel, there are always two columns for each contribution: EPF & EPS and Difference - Due and Remittance. 'Due' is the amount you have to deposit currently, but in 'Remittance,' you can adjust the amount; both figures can differ. After the clearance of the PF challan from the bank, send a letter to RPFC regarding the adjustment of EPS dues of A/c 10. Also, you can visit the EDP department and consult with the remittance facilitator; they will help resolve your issue.

Dear IR-MANAGER, thanks for the suggestion. I tried using it, but when we upload the file on the EPF website to generate the challan, it only provides the filled entries for Acc 1 and Acc 10. Only admin charges and EDLI can be filled in from our side. Please help...
