Hi
I had received an arrear pension from EPFO against higher pension of EPF in the month of September 2024. The EPFO department was suppose to deduct TDS on that , but they did not deduct the TDS . Now in theonth Aug2025 they are asking me to deposit Rs 341450 by the DD in favour of EPFO .
I have written to them that since this arrear amount pertaining to the last 6 years ie from 2017 , so I will claim the relief of section 89 and pay the balance tax . Accordingly I have submitted my return online taking this arrear amount and paid the balance tax to income tax.
Now the EPFO is agreeing to my action and demanding the amount as they have fixed .
Pl clarify , whether I should again send the money to EPFO as they demanded.
And can they stop my pension unilatetly though I have done my duty as sr citizen by disclosing my income andbpaid the due tax .
Kindly send me advice
