Earlier, PF was applicable on leave encashment as per a circular of the Labour Ministry. Now, after a ruling of the High Court, it has been withdrawn, and PF is not applicable on leave encashment.

This is for your kind information, please.

Thanks & Regards, Avika

Hi all,

As per the Supreme Court judgment dated 12.03.2009 and the clarification provided by the Provident Fund Commissioner on 06.07.2008, it has been stated that PF should not be deducted from Leave encashment wages as it does not constitute the basic wage of the employee.

I have attached the clarification issued by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner for your immediate reference and records.

Hi dear all,

As it is correct that there will be no PF deduction on leave encashment when it is a service benefit for an employee, such as in the case of resignation, retirement, or termination. However, it will be deductible when anybody encashes their leave while they are in continuation of service.

DEAR ALL,
WITH REFERENCE TO THE QUESTION ON P.F. DEDUCTION ON LEAVE SALARY, THE FOLLOWING IS THE SUPREME COURT JUDGEMENT.
?Encashment of leave will not attract Provident Funds contributions since the definition of ‘basic wages' given under the Act did not intend to include such type of payment besides that the Apex Court in Bridge & Roof Company (India) Limited has also clearly interpreted the term ‘basic wage' hence the reliance as placed by the EPFO on the judgment of Bombay High Court has not been proper.

REFER THE FOLLOWING JUDGEMENT:
2008 LLR 443
SUPREME COURT OF INDIA
Hon'ble Dr. Arijit Pasayat, J.
Hon'ble Mr. P. Sathasivam, J.
Appeal (Civil) 1832 of 2004
Decided on 12.3.2008
