My client is an employee in BSNL, he has undergone training w.e.f. 24.08.2015 to 06.11.2015 and deduction of EPF is also made from the stipend of the said period. He joined for regular duty w.e.f. 07.11.2015 but he has been paid stipend from 24.08.2015 to 06.11.2015 and salary from 07.11.2015 to 31.12.2015 in one go and therefore his date of joining EPF is shown in EPF monthly Return of Dec 2015 as 01.12.2015. Deduction was there from stipend and salary of his own cont. as well as employer's cont.
Data summarized as folows: Training Period: 24.08.2015 to 06.11.2015 Regular posting date: 07.11.2015 Stipend and Salary paid: In month of Dec 2015 Date of Joining EPF: 01.12.2015 (as shown in EPF Return of Dec 2015 filed in Jan 2016)
Queries: 1. Should this date of joining is correct or it should be amended as 24.08.2015?? 2. What type of fund is EPF for a PSU employee (i.e. BSNL)---- i) Recognized PF ii) Statutory PF iii) Unrecognized PF
