Minimum Contribution Period To Claim EPF (both Employee And Employer Share)

Dear All,

Greetings of the season!

I have a question, and I hope friends will help me.

Q. After how many contributions (installments, days, or working period) can an employee claim the employer's share in PF?

Thanks

Dear Mr. Mishra,

One has to complete at least one month. Contributions from both sides will be deposited at the same time. The employee contributes 12%, and the employer contributes 3.76% (12 - 3.67% = 8.33 in Pension).

Re: Minimum contribution period to claim EPF (both employee and employer share)

The minimum contribution period for both shares is 6 months, and the maximum period is 10 years. Before 6 months and after 10 years, you cannot claim for EPS money. Although you may claim the EPF money, i.e., 12% (employees) + 3.67% (employer).

Dear Mishra,

The employer and employee share are deposited by the employer into the EPF account. In some cases, the employer maintains a trust and in such a case, both shares are held in the trust.

Your question is "After how many contributions (installments, days, or working period) can an employee claim the employer's share in PF?"

You can claim the PF contributions only when you resign from the services of the company. There is no minimum period; even if you have worked for one month and if the employer has deducted and contributed the shares to the EPF account, you can claim the money by submitting Form 19.

Dear All,

Thank you for your reply. Please also mention what an employee can do if the employer has not deposited the contribution or if there is any mistake in the calculation by EPF.

Thanks once again to all of you.

Dear Kaushal,

If an employer does not deposit the contributions, employees may go to the labor court for their payment. As an employer, it is mandatory to deposit the contributions on time.

Dear Sir,

In my opinion, though one becomes a member of EPF on the day of joining an establishment over which the EPF & MP Act 1952 is applicable, in order to claim benefits, one must have the deposition of contributions for at least one month by the employer along with the timely submission of required returns for that period.

To claim a pension share, one has to complete 6 months in an organization. For claiming a PF amount, 1 month of completion in an organization will entitle him to do so when he resigns from the organization.

Dear sir,

Please provide a solution for my question. I worked at a private company for the past 4 years, and I left the company without informing them. How can I claim my EPS?

If the employer has defaulted in depositing its own share or both shares, the employer has violated the provisions of the law, and the same is punishable. For this, a complaint can be made to the RPFC and the Labor Court.

Regarding the withdrawal of EPF, you are required to make a claim in Form 19, to be sent to RPFC through the employer where you served. In case the employer hesitates, you can get the same attested by a Magistrate and send it directly to the RPFC for settlement.

You can download Form 19 at EPFO [link updated to site home].
