Dear All, Greetings !!!
I was working as a Territory Manager (Branch Manager) with Reliance Life, Fort, Mumbai from Nov' 2009.
I had resigned from Reliance Life in May' 2011, as I was told to leave due to branch merger and other reasons...
I was told to resign with immediate effect and that my notice period will be waved off.
I had sent the resignation copy on email to my senior and had also submitted the office keys, visiting cards, etc to branch ops...
After about 3 months, I got 2 letters from HR saying that I have been Absconding from service and Terminated from the system.
I was also told to pay around Rs. 30,000 to RLIC after which they would release my EPF amount. (Notice period money).
I refused to pay the money as I was told to leave on immediate basis, inspite of giving good performance, and my boss'es had assured me that the notice period amount will be waved off...
I was told that My immediate senior (Sr. TM) and his senior (RM) had left the company and HR cannot verify if I had given resignation or had left as Absconding.
I showed them the email copy which was sent on official email id, but the HR refused to listen...
It is now, that I am in urgent need of funds, for my cousin sister's marriage, that I re-applied for EPF amount.
The company refused the same saying I need to pay my Notice period first.
After seeing various posts about EPF, I went to bandra office to submit my form, by taking attestation from HDFC Bank's Branch Manager, instead of the Company HR's Sign.
I also wrote a letter to the EPF commissioner which was attached along with the form...
This was submitted on 15th Dec' 2013. After a month, the status showed as "Claim Rejected" for not giving company's Sign and Seal in PF Form...
I met the Asst. EPF Commissioner who told me that He will look into the same, but the Group 5 staff said that unless the company returns the form back to the pf office, they can not do anything.
The company gives various details about the contribution amount, days of employment, Dates of joining and leaving, etc...
I am also told that if the company wants to hold my EPF, they can do the same by not submitting my details and PF Office cannot do anything...
Request you to kindly suggest what action needs to be taken from my side so that I get my EPF amount...
Regards,
Indranil Banerji.
