PF: Non submission of PF dues is offence. You may demand from good offices of the company: appointing authority, MD with a copy to HR head, the PF a/c slips/passbook of each year by redg. Post. If the good offices or HR does not respond then employees may lodge a complaint thru RPFC in nearest PF office.

You may check at website of EPFO:

www.epfindia.gov.in

if company is listed in defaulters and 7A proceedings have been initiated or not?

All employees may request the RPFC to allow them to be intervener in this case.

Salary: Did you and other employees accept restructuring of wages in writing? PF officials don’t accept reduction in PF contribution. They may demand PF contribution on special allowance also. The concerned authority is APFC/RPFC/Addl. CPFC of state/CPFC.

Gratuity: If DA was part of wages earlier then company may not succeed to remove it now.

In private sector DA is not given by majority of the employers.

Employees for best protection of their rights must form Employees’ unions/IC/Guild/Works Committees and affiliate with Trade Unions and keep access to a god labor Consultant/Service lawyer. .
