Need Help Calculating Final Salary After EPF Deductions for a Departed Employee?

Sir, An employee left the job on 19.11.2019 without giving one month's notice. He/she deposited his/her one-month salary amounting to Rs. 13,610 on 25.2.2021 after a gap of more than 15 months. Now, Rs. 8,620.00 is due to pay to her for 19 days' salary after deduction of EPF Damages/Interest/penalty as per rules.

Please guide me on how to calculate the net amount after deducting the liability of EPF Damages/Interest/penalty. Kindly provide me with the calculations as well.

Thanks and regards

Since the F&F settlement is done after more than 15 months, it is most likely that the PF account is closed. However, even if it is active, since the PF is being deducted immediately following the payment, there is no need to pay interest or penalty. If the PF account is closed, you may pay the amount in full to the ex-employee; otherwise, you may try as above.
