Hi all,
Our organization does not have any contributory members and hence did not pay any PF amount. Then, we started receiving notices from EPFO to make the payments for the months where payments were not made. When inquired further, they asked us to make administration charges in case no contributory member is available in a month, and they did so in a rude tone. After several follow-ups, they shared the information on doing it online: Payments -> Payment (Direct Challan) -> Actionable Direct Challan List -> Challan Entry. This has an option to select the month for which we want to make the payment along with Challan Type (Administrative/Inspection Charges Challan and Miscellaneous Challan). They have asked us to choose Administrative/Inspection Charges Challan as the challan type.
Everything is fine until this point. After selecting Administrative/Inspection Charges Challan, it opens a table with different charge particulars (Administration Charges and Inspection Charges) along with account details (A/C No 1, A/C No 2, A/C No 10, A/C No 21, and A/C No 22), of which A/C No 2 and 22 are editable. When I asked under which section I should make the payment and how much it should be, they are asking me to come down to the EPFO office to clarify. Does someone know what I should pay in case of no employees/contributory members in a given month and under which account I should be paying that amount? They have also shared a PDF - https://epfindia.gov.in/site_docs/PD...butionRate.pdf, which doesn't give complete details of what I am referring to. It just states that 75/- should be paid in case of no contributory member as minimum administrative charges. But, my question is under which section.
I would appreciate your help if you can share any inputs. I am looking to follow the compliance, but due to the lack of proper help/guidance and material from EPFO, I am not able to do that.
Regards, Kalyan
