Please give a case wise explanation:

Case No:2)While forwarding the coverage details to the Company- Normally the EPF Officials fill the Coverage memo and advice to remit the contribution within a stipulated time limit- The above case covered retrospectively for instance one year before the date of filing coverage application- The Company remits the EPF dues within the stipulated period/or not remitted the contribution within the stipulated time limit and make a delayed payment like 90 days- Is there any Policy or Act to compute and remit the Damages and Interest from the date of coverage or
from the date advised in the Coverage memo
under what basis? accordance with law, Para 32A has given a schedule of rate of damages for delayed days- is the damages and interest is applicable for the pre-discovery period(Pre-discovery period means: The date of retrospective coverage to the date of advise sent to the Company)

Provident Fund

Please help me

The provident fund office communicated to an educational institution to pay 10% of the wages of the employees and employer when the total number of employees were below 20 in the year 2003. The strength of the employees later became more than 20, but the school authorities continued to pay the 10% of salary instead of 12%, which is the statutory limit. Now the inspectors found the mistake after these years and to direct the school authorities to pay the arrears of extra 2%, which now come more than 2 lakhs.But the problem is that many number of employees are releaved from the school and joined in other institutions and hence cannot get money from them.

How can the school authorities be saved from paying the extra 2% ? Any case laws?, Any rulings from any courts or tribunals in favour of the institution.

Denial of medical, pensionary benefits to VRS optees

IFCI (having its registered office at 61,Nehru Place ,New Delhi-110 019),a Public Financial Institution, originally established as a statutory corporation by an Act of Parliament in 1948(15 of 1948) and the first Government Institution converted into a company at the threshold of liberalization by another Act of Parliament i.e. The Industrial Finance Corporation (Transfer of Undertaking and Repeal) Act,1993, No 23 of 1993 is for all practical purposes an instrument of the Government Of India(GOI has recently directly extended IFCI loans/grants amounting to more than Rs. 5000 crores spreading over 2002/03 -2010/11)

The Section 8 of the above said Repeal Act explicitly protects the service conditions of the employees. The position was reaffirmed by the then Honorable Finance Minister of India on the floor of Lok Sabha on 3rd July, 1998 in reply to an Unstarred Question No 2786

Now IFCI in gross violation of three decades old policy of following Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) in relation to pay scales, pension and other service conditions, by shifting the cut-off date of revision of pay scales , has deliberately denied its 286 retirees their revised due pension, outstanding wages, medical and other related benefits.

Under the circumstances and based on above facts, what VRS optees (who are mostly senior citizens) can do so that they can get releif in a shortest period without incurring much expenditure. For any further informaion pl contact Mr Handa at 9868338030

standing Orders and subsistence allwance

Dear Mr Harbhajansingh ji,once again i have a query regarding my matter.
In the recent past i received a letter from my company's HRD,In short their reference is as below-
1 There is no formal standing orders and you are governed by the rules/regulation & norms of the company which is in accordance with principle of natural justice.
2 It is a Domestic Inquiry- Domestic Tribunal hence the delinquent employee has to attend the Domestic Inquiry where the Domestic Tribunal has been constituted i.e,head office Ahmedabad.
3 There is no mandate to provide defence representative at the cost of employer.

Mr Harbhajansingh ji,i think they have not any certified standing orders,still they are giving me only 50% of my salary,while 7 months have been passed.
in this regard,kindly tell me what to do,& where would i file a complaint.
They are also making a barrier in the way of my Defence represintative (he is my co-employee,in my company,at other H.Q.)

After completion of six months,i sent a request letter to my HRD,regarding 75% of my salary,but he plainly denied to do so,
kindly guide me what to do now?i m waiting for your reply,eagerly!
