Why Isn't My Company Paying PF or Salary on Time? Seeking Advice After Six Months

Hello, I wanted to know why my organization has not provided me with PF in my account and is not even giving us our salary on time. They said that right now they don't have funds and will deposit them as soon as possible, but I have already completed six months, and I haven't received any month's PF. Please help me with what to do.

Hi, non-remittance of PF is an offense on the employer's part. They might delay but can't prolong it for a very long time.

Legal Implications of Non-Remittance of PF

As per the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, Section 7Q, the employer is liable to pay a higher interest rate on the amount due from them under the Act from the due date of actual payment. Under Section 14B of the same act, the employer's delayed payment of EPFO will be a cognizable offense.

You claim that your employer is not paying your salary on time either. It might be better to look for a new job.
