Hello i'm nisar khan, i worked with lenskart solutions pvt ltd from 23 july 2018 to 05 april 2019. Notice period policy of lenskart is 30 days but because of my family problem i have left my job but resigned officially. Now the employer is asking for money rs_3597 to update the doe in epf however according to labour laws and epf rules, it is illegal to withhold the pf money. If any employer is doing the same, then he is working against the law. We can drag him in the court as well as complain to vigilance commissioner of epf. I mailed lenskart almost seven times for the same issue but everytime i got same reply in which they're asking money and call it recovery.

I need my pf money urgently but lenskart threatening me, if i won't pay above said amount, then they won't give me my experience letter or releiving letter both are important for me.

I'm unable to understand how any employer can hold epf, they don't have any legal rights to do so.
