PF Contribution Paid Twice - How to get refund? Will it be credited back?

In the month of April 2018, we mistakenly prepared two ECRs. One was paid at that time, and the other one was left unpaid. While paying the August Challan, we mistakenly paid the second prepared ECR challan for April 2018. Now, the portal is showing two challans for the same month (April 2018).

How can we get a refund for the double payment from PF? Will it be credited to the respective bank account? Should we wait, or should we communicate with PF? What communication is required?

Hi,

Please approach your regional PF office and submit a written application in this regard. This may solve the problem for you.
