Dear Experts,
I want to know that a Kitchen is established to supply the food in companies, It employees less then 20 employees. Is it come under factory act. Labour Department had already issue the shop and establishment license. Now the other department(Industrial Safety) says that kitchen comes under the factory act. pl. guide me what to do. If it comes undr factory act How can the the labour department issue the shop act license.

No.
No one can force you to serve the company for full notice period without salary. it will amount to forced labour.

History of the case: A person had made a complaint to Central P.F. Comm . which in turn was sent to Reg. P.F. Commissioner (RPFC) to take action u/s 14-B of EP & MP Act against employer for not having deposited p.f. contributions (employee + empr) due in the respective months from January 2002 to June 2002. Instead of sending notice to employer RPFC conspired with certain officials and employer deposited only the amount due and payable had it been deposited in the respective months of 2002. No interest as per S. 7Q of EP & MP Act was not deposited. The person had made complaints to CPFC, but no action was taken even though reminders were sent . As such made complaint to Secretary Labour, Govt. of India, in April 2011 – again no action was taken.
QUERY: Is there any limitation/ bar to file a case in the P.F. Tribunal u/s 7 I ( i.e. Seven i) or any other provisions and briefly state the procedure? Thanks in anticipation for early reply, please.

Ours is a limited company. Recently PF inspection was done for the last 10 years.
We had not deducted and paid PF from the salaries of certian employees thinking that they are not covered.As per PF inspector these employees are covered.
Inspector has calculated a liability of around 5 lacs which represents employee and employer contributions. The question is, if we are on the wrong side of the law, then how can we pay the contribution for employees now, when almost all of them have left our company. We do not know their whereabouts. In whose account this contributions will be credited. We have not deducted any amount from these employees. Is there any legal remedy? What will be our further liability in terms of interest and penalty? Further if all these employees were getting less than Rs.6500/-, then should the contribution be 12% of Rs.6500/- or it will only be on the basic? How can we break up the salary today into basic and other allowances, when we have not shown any such break up in any of our books of accounts for all these years. We are paying PF of other employees regularly for all these years.
