Please note that Employers to Deposit PF Contributions by New Date 15th without any grace period- EPF Circular dated. 8 Jan 2016

 
The EPFO has issued EPF Circular No. WSU/9(1)2013/Settlement/35031 dt. 8 Jan., 2016, removing the grace period of 5 days for depositing PF and hence Feb., 2016 onwards the due date shall be 15th instead of 20th.
 
In the present era, employers compute the wages and EPF liabilities electronically (in most of the cases on real time basis) and file Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR). The remittances are also being deposited through Internet Banking. This has reduced the process and time taken in calculation of PF dues and its remittances in the bank. Accordingly, it has been decided that concession of grace period of 5 days available to the employers for depositing the contribution & other dues is withdrawn herewith.
 
This decision shall apply from February, 2016 (contributions for month of January, 2016 and payable in the month of February, 2016).

The employers shall pay the contribution and other dues as envisaged under EPF & MP Act, 1952 and Schemes framed there within fifteen days of those of every month.
