Dear Sir,
Good Evening!
I want to know, is it necessary to generate and keep with us a hard copy of text file 12A, Form 5, Form 10 on a monthly basis, and should we need to send Form 2 to the PF Office on a monthly basis? Kindly explain for my help.
Thanks,

Hello Punit,
I don't think you have to submit Form 12-A, Form 5, or Form 10 to the PF Department anymore because PF processes have moved online. When submitting the ECR copy, you can include details of both former employees and new joinees. Therefore, the PF Department no longer requires any hard copies. However, if you prefer, you can still submit PF Form 5 and PF Form 10 on a monthly basis. Forms like 12-A, 3-A, and 6-A are no longer necessary.
