Epf payment due date

SUDHAKARAN V T (Querist) 19 July 2013 This query is : Resolved
There is ambiguity on the following;

As per EPF Act, the EPF contributions pertaining to Salary/Wages shall be remitted to Govt. within 15 days of close of each month. i.e EPF contributions pertaining to salary/wages for JAN is to be remitted to Govt. by 15th FEB.

But there are other opinions, as given below , citing some case laws;

if the salary/wages pertaining to JAN is paid to employees during FEB, then EPF contributiins needs to be remitted by 15 MAR only.

Hence kindly clarify the above matter.

no deduction can be presumed before disbursement of salary.

Due date for payment of Provident Fund contributions is 15 days from the end of month in which wages are paid (plus grace period of 5 days). Thus, if wages pertaining to July’ 2013 is paid on, say, 7th Aug’ 2013, due date for payment of Provident Fund contribution is 20th Sept’ 2013.
