Yes. If wages has been paid then all the facilities connected therein are liable to be provided to you including the EPF contributions. Make representation to RPFC who shall recover this amount from your employer and shall get it deposited in your account.

No EPF contribution is not payable. The back wages are not wages earned by the employee while on duty as per definition of wages in EPF and MP Act. If the award says that the reinstatement is with back wages with continuity of service and all consequential benifits, EPF cont. shall be payable.
