EPF contribution due for employees leaving service after short period of employment- what should be done?

sunetra1.deshpande
If PF is deducted from an employee's salary but the PF account is not opened and they leave within a short period of 1-5 months, should we refund deducted amount to employees or do we have to open an account to make the payment?

PF payment attracts penalty for late payment.
Refunding is easy from accounts perspective.
