Sir one My Client is Hotel Owner.He is running one hotel on rent basis. That hotel previous owner not takes any number for EPF.But also EPF enforcement officer directly issue the establishment number. So, EPF enforcement officer issue a notice to second lease hotel owner file pending period return & paid unpaid tax.My question is the only six to seven employee are working in his hotel so actual he is not liable to EPF criteria. So, he can apply for EPF code or resgistration cancellation.

Is your lease registered?

File the pending returns as demanded.
Cancellation of registration is permissible under genuine and adequate reasons such as likely closure, conditions of liquidation, etc. Any other reasons put forth to the PF Commissioner have to be extremely convincing.

I agree with the opinion of expert Mr. Rajendra K Goyal. Please understand the rules governing sanction of other issues of PF properly and then decide about next course of action or you may land up in trouble.

If the establishment is covered by PF the monthly charges after registration may be as low as Rs7/.........
If the no. of employees are below the required numbers or if wages are above wage ceiling for PF the contribution shall not be mandatory but can be voluntarily...
Ask the Inspector reason for enforcing.........and if required meet APFC,in person or reply to notice......
The Inspector might have on record that earlier establishment had sufficient no. of employees etc...........?
