Hi,
It is always good if you distribute form 23 PF slips to the employees.
However Employees will approach you for clarifying their doubts in term of deduction of PF in their salary.
while distributing you can inform the particulars of form 23.

With due respect saswatabanerjee ji,
Educated employee can download passbook from website
but
still workmen are not that much educated, even today number of workman's doesn't have idea how to operate computers.
so as a employers its our duty to distribute the PF slips to such workmans.

Dear Mr. Vinoth Kumar
The Provident Fund Form No.23 is nothing but the annual statement of employees and employers contribution. This will be generated and issued by the EPFO and not by the employer. The form No,.23 shall be issued by the EPFO only after reconciliation of contributions for the respective financial years The various procedures are there to complete this by filing Form No.123m, Form No,.6 etc and once it is finalized and your account is approved and then only the Form No.23 will be generated and distributed to the employers. On rec eipt of the same, the employer should distribute to the concerned employees.
