This query is : Resolved
I worked in a company between 2009 and 2013. When I wanted my PF amount to be settled, they started dilly dallying. This is a case with several of ex-colleagues. I checked my epf account online and noted that the employer did not pay pf amounts (both employee and employer contributions) for several months.
If I were to move legal system against this defaulter how should I proceed. Please advise.
