How to Pay recovery amount after 7 A inquiry order by the PF department

Dear seniors,

We had four employees whose services were terminated after conducting the inquiry as per the Industrial Relations Act. These employees challenged the termination orders in court, and the court set aside the termination orders of the company. The court also ordered 50% back wages along with reinstatement in service. Following this order, we reappointed these employees and paid 50% back wages as per the court order. The back wages were calculated based on the last three months' salary that was disbursed at the time when their services were terminated. Their services were terminated in May 2006, and the court's order came in July 2009. Therefore, the company had to pay almost three years' worth of back wages to them. They were reinstated in service in August 2009.

Subsequently, these employees lodged a complaint with the PF department after five years, stating that the company had not deposited the PF contributions on the back wages with the PF department. An inquiry under 7A was conducted by the ACPFO, directing the company to pay the contributions on these back wages and to do so through the ECR system.

I seek guidance on how to handle this situation, as I need to generate 36 challans starting from May 2006 to July 2009 promptly. Your urgent guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
