Hi,
I am working as a lecturer in an Aided college in Mumbai.My Salary comes from Govt.Of Maharashtra. My college cut P.F. amount from my salary @10% on basic from April 1998.But they did not open G.P.f. account on time till 2004 for the reasons best known to them.They did not tell me about it except that my P.F. is with college and Govt.did not accept it.So they asked me to fill E.P.F. scheme 1995 form. and send my P.F. there by depositing the excess amount as per E.P.F. norm.(ie 12% on Basic+DA)from day one of my service without any actual deduction of excess amount (than 10%) from my salary.My queries are :
1)If the salary comes from Govt.of Maharashtra,Can the college cut P.F. from salary without depositing it in G.P.f.?
2)Can college claim salary from Govt. and cut and deposit P.f. in E.P.F. which is meant for private sector only?
3)How to deal with this problem legally?

Dear Anonymous,
I do not think that your salary is coming from government. On the contrary, the college would be getting grant/aid from the government and from which your salary would be paid. Please check up on this.

thank you sir.The college get salary grant
for which the college has to send salary bill each month showing details of each employee's salary.I have a proof that my entire salary is claimed from Joint Director Higher Education(Govt.of Maharashtra) office.The bill shows that college gets my entire salary where as while depositing it in my salary account college deducts the P.F. and credits my salary,whereas for others their P.F. amount reflects in the salary bill and their salary is claimed after P.f. is deducted.Because J.D. office is our P.F. Authority.So can they cut P.F. when Entire salary is claimed?If the P.F. is cut where it has to be Deposited?
