April 2020 and May 2020 being Covid lockdown periods, the delay in payment of contributions was permitted. Therefore, the delayed payment should not attract interest under Section 7Q and damages under Section 14B of the EPF and MP Act.

Wage month August 2022 does not qualify for any special treatment, and you should pay both interest and damages if you have defaulted on payment in time.
