Respected Seniors,

I am working in the garment industry as an HR Executive. I am new in this field. Please solve my query. If someone has a savings account in the post office, can he get his PF amount in his post office savings account?

Thanking you

Dear Mr. Ranvijay781,

Is it a PPF account that he opened? If the account that he maintains is a PPF account, then one has voluntarily opened that account. You cannot mix EPF with PPF. Therefore, the employer will have to open a PF account and contribute the shares.

Hi Ranvijay, Yes, if you go for withdrawal, you can get your PF amount in your existing post office savings account. Regards, Vijay Kumar

Dear All,

A PF account with the EPFO carries with it other related benefits such as the Pension Scheme, Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance benefit, etc. These are related to each other. Pension is admissible to a member of the PF after his retirement or to the nominees after his death. So, a PF account has no substitute.

Thanks & regards,

You are confused with two types of PF accounts.

1. Employees' Provident Fund is a social security benefit that is deducted from your salary by the employer and credited to the PF authorities along with the company contribution. This can be settled after retirement or resignation if you are not joining any company further. If you join another company, the amount will be transferred to the new company account.

2. PPF - Public Provident Fund - This can be opened in the State Bank of India by you personally, and you can deposit the amount from your own savings.

Therefore, the PF amount from your salary cannot be remitted to any post office account or your bank account.

Please forgive me for saying everyone is in a hurry to give answers/suggestions without understanding the actual issue. Sometimes, it's better to ask a counter-question to exactly understand what help the member (in this case, Ranvijay) is seeking. This will bring clarity on the issue to both the information seeker and the contributor.

Thanks

You can withdraw your PF either direct credited to your saving Bank A/c or by receiving the Money order through post office.

After resignation or leaving a job, Form 10A is to be submitted to the PF authorities in the respective area. Then the PF amount will be credited to the employee's account and sent to the bank specified in the form. Continuous fund transfer or maintaining membership in PF for 10 years, in the case of private employees, will result in receiving applicable pension benefits. Therefore, it is advisable not to withdraw the PF amount in the meantime.

My basic salary + DA = 70,000. From April 2003 to March 2011, my institute was deducting 12% of 70,000, and the same amount was contributed by the employer. Later, they reduced their contribution to a fixed amount of 1,000, while ours continued at 12%. We lodged a complaint about this to the PF commissioner, and he stated that Section 12 of the EPF and MP Act is violated by the institute, emphasizing that the total quantum of the salary cannot be reduced. The employer was ordered to repay it at the rate of 12%. However, the employer intends to pursue the matter in the High Court.

Please address the following questions:
1. Will the employer succeed in court?
2. Is the response from the PF commissioner accurate?
3. Once the employer has reinstated their original contribution, can they subsequently reduce it without prior notification to the employees?

Your assistance in providing clarification on these matters would be greatly appreciated.
