We have an employee who joined our company on 4th July 2022. At the time of joining, he requested us not to deduct his EPF, which we accepted and did not deduct. His gross salary is Rs. 34,800, and his basic salary is Rs. 13,920. Since this employee's basic salary is less than Rs. 15,000, EPF deduction was mandatory from his joining month, which we just discovered during our internal office audit.
I request guidance on how we can rectify this mistake to prevent any action from the EPF department in this regard.
Thank you,

Immediate Action for Pending Dues
Immediately calculate the pending dues under the PF & Misc. Act and deposit the same to the authority. Then continue to deposit the dues every month on time. Wait for penal interest, etc., in the future.

Hi, You need to pay arrear right from DOJ of the employee. Just work out the calculation for the period you had missed to pay and remit the same.
