Dear Senior,
ABC organization had applied for approval for EPF exemption under section 17(1)(a). They complied with EPS and submitted it directly to the EPFO office. Unfortunately, they did not receive approval from the EPFO organization. Meanwhile, some staff resigned from ABC organization and joined XYZ organization. ABC organization paid a cheque by hand to XYZ Organization for the amount of EPF contribution for the departing staff, along with EPS contribution details and Annexure K. Similarly, XYZ organization submitted that cheque to XYZ EPF Account along with EPS details. The individual EPFO organization confirmed that the cheque had been credited to XYZ EPF Account on the same date. However, ABC organization has since dissolved, and the EPF contribution has not been transferred to XYZ organization's account. Currently, 90% of the staff have claimed their EPF benefits from XYZ organization but have not received the EPF contributions from ABC organization. The EPFO Department states that ABC organization is not an exempt organization and is requesting Form 3A and 6A, even though ABC organization timely submitted Form No. 7 EPS and 8 EPS. What is the procedure to obtain the EPF contribution from ABC organization?
Thank you,
Kashyap
