Dear Sanjay Agarwal,
First of all, you need to be "professional and polite" while posting something. If the employer is deducting some amount from the employee's salary, it is compulsory that the employer has to do his role. Need not worry. Just inform the labor department about it, and the rest will be done the way it should be done.

Sir,
1. Deducting employers' share of contribution also from the wages of employees is an offence punishable under Para 76(a) of the EPF Scheme, 1952. Some of the prosecution provisions are also mentioned under Section 14 of the EPF & MP Act, 1952. Therefore, in my opinion, the aggrieved employee has to take up the matter with the authorized officer of the EPFO to which his unit/employer is attached/covered.
2. The Labour Department of the State, in my opinion, has no role to play in the matter. Even otherwise, the compliance of statutory provisions of the various State Government-enforced labor laws is very poor.
