Why Are My EPF Contributions Missing for Dec '16 to Feb '17? Any Ideas?

Hi, Dear,

As mentioned in the subject, my EPF passbook is not showing the contributions for three months (Dec '16 to Feb '17), even though the employer deposited both contributions in Oct '17.

What could be the possibility in this case? Is it possible that the EPF department has placed this transaction in a suspense account or elsewhere? Please suggest.

Regards,
Manish

Dear Manish,

You may discuss this issue with your respective HR team. If no satisfactory answer is given by the HR team, then you may visit the local PF office branch and inquire about the same.

DEC 16/JAN 17/Feb 17 is the last A/C year of EPF. Employers will receive an SCN for late submission, and 7A/14B proceedings will be initiated. After the proper response from the employer, it will be displayed in the members' passbook. Employers will need to state the reason for such late payment.
