Dear HR Professional, kindly request you to clarify my query. Is it possible for an employer to deduct PF contributions for both the employee and employer from an employee's salary if they are being paid a consolidated salary? Would appreciate your quick response.

I worked for three years beyond my retirement. PF was deducted in the first two years. In the last year of service, I was given a consolidated pay of Rs 15,000, but PF was not deducted. It has been two years since I was superannuated and a year since I withdrew my PF balance. Now, I understand that PF should have been deducted from the consolidated pay. Is there any remedy to get the PF contribution from the employer? If so, how much will I get? Can anyone guide?
