To avoid harassment of employees, retirement fund body EPFO has directed its field offices to sensitize about the need to forward PF claims of outgoing workers in time. All regional offices and sub-regional offices should sensitize the employers under their respective jurisdiction to comply with the provision of Para 72(5) of the EPF Scheme, 1952 where the employer is duty-bound to forward duly filled-in and attested claim application to the respective EPF office within five days of receipt”, says a circular of EPFO.
