Dear Rashmi Legally you can not hold the PF of any employee nor employer contribution as suggested by Sudheeh as it warrants penal interest and damages for late deposit of contribution.

There is no right to hold the PF claim even though the employee did not give notice period. You can deduct the one-month salary from his F&F settlement, but you should not hold his amount.

Dear Rashmi, The PF of an employee can not be hold back for any reason & considering a social security element, this even this cannot be attached with a court decree &/or debt recovery.
