Hello All,
I am looking for an advise for a problem which I am going through related to my PF transfer currently.
My PF transfer is getting rejected by EPFO due to non contribution of PF component to my PF account during my onsite deputation, employer to clarify. My previous organization has already clarified through a NCP clarification letter. They have mentioned, employee was on long term onsite deputation and transferred to onsite entity company (its a MNC, so was transferred to onsite entity(USA) of the same company). My payroll was handled there only, all deduction like social security, income tax every thing was deducted from my onsite salary only. As there was no salary paid in India, there was no contribution to PF.
I am sure, my case is not unique. In IT organization, people travel from India to abroad for several years and they come back to their base company once the assignment is over or visa is expired. In case of long term assignments, company do not pay India salary, hence no Basic salary and hence no PF contribution.
Indian companies pay to employees during their onsite tenure in case of short term only.
Please advise what is the solution.
Thanks!
Kumar
