Quick Summary

An employee who left a company in April 2022 was paid their PF contributions, but not their final salary. The company is now requesting the PF amount back from the employee. The discussion explores remedies, including whether the company can directly request the refund from EPFO or if the employee should apply for PF withdrawal and then pay the company.

04 May 2022 An employee has left the company in april 2022.The salary was not given for the month of April 2022 to the employee but PF was duly deposited in his account.
Now the company is asking for this PF amount from the employee...what is the remedy of this? The company can directly ask the EPFO department to receive back this amount instead of employee?
