If Private limted company appoint experinace HR person to take care of provident fund compliances.On behalf of company he statrted his job & keep on taking all the compliances including P.F registraion of the company & started filing return on regula basis.He was meeting all the statutory compliances correctly without any delay & default.He is signing all the paper as a authorized signatory of the company. Suddenly he come to know that Board resolution is required to sign the all P.F.related paper. Is this offence under the P.F.Act if yes kindly give your opinion on this.I hope that i will get appropriate answer to my query. Thanks & Regards Raj Mehra

Now in the next board meeting you pass 2 resolutions one for ratifying what he has singed is correct and acceptable to the company.
Second resolution appointing him as authorised signatory.
You file to pf authorities both the resolutions.
For the old one if officer issues notice you have to request for condonation and if no letter is received for more than 30days it is treated as the procedural lapse is condoned.
