[Resolved]  Delhi Public School, Harni — Non Forwarding of PF Application to the PF Authorities

The application for PF refund in the prescribed form was submitted to Shri Suman of DPS, Harni, Vadodara where I was in the teaching staff for around one year for signature of the Mr Sinha, who is the Principal as required in the form and forwarding to the concerned PF Office on 22.08.2009.

Inspite of my repeated telephonic reminders & request, Shri Suman has been dilly dallying the issue & till date to my knowledge the same has not been forwarded to the concerned PF Office .

As per the PF Act following is the stipulation in respect of PF dues of the employees:-

"It is the duty of the employer under the Act & Scheme to help Employees' Provident Fund organization to settle the Provident Fund dues of his employees. He has to complete the prescribed application within 5 days of receipt [para72(5)] forms & hand over it to the member when he leaves the service."

Can these individuals be enlightened on the statutory provisions, rights of the employees & law of the land so that they may act without delay.
