Dear Sir/Madam,
I was working with a company that had its head office in Dahanu while I was working at their site in post-Nani Naroli, Tal-Mangrol, Dist-SURAT (G.S) from July 2002 to July 2005 (3 Years). The owner, M/S. Honeybees Engg. Services c/o. G.M. Parekh, Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Road, Dahanu Road, Dahanu (W), Dist. Thane, was registered in Mumbai at the Thane PF office for one year, and two years at SURAT (G.S). The owner contributed at the PF office, but I am unable to obtain the signature from the previous employer to withdraw the PF into my account. I contacted my previous company in Dahanu and discovered that the previous owner's office is no longer available at the mentioned address. I have forwarded both PF office (SURAT & THANE) to the regional Comm. with the attested copies of 10C and 19 forms duly filled and signed. They will proceed accordingly and forward it to the PF office. When I visited the PF office, I obtained the necessary forms and enquired about the withdrawal procedure. I was informed that the PF forms won't be applicable at the Regional Office, and the forms I received from the PF office already have an address on them. Please guide me as I am in urgent need of money and have been trying for over two years to withdraw my PF.
Is there a way to find out how much money is in my PF account and how it can be deposited into my SB account?
Please help.
Thanks,

Dear Krishna, Salary, honorarium or professional charges paid to a guest faculty member will attract PF and ESI unless otherwise excluded due to quantum of remuneration paid. Regards, Madhu.T.K

You have not provided information regarding the monthly payment your institute has been making to guest speakers. Please provide detailed information so that a practical legal solution can be suggested if possible.
The money earned in exchange for work completed by an individual can be referred to as wage/salary. If ESI/PF is already applicable to your establishment, refer to it as professional charges/retainership remuneration/service charges. These payments will be subject to compliance, and if the amount exceeds the prescribed wage limit for each, exemptions are permitted. On the other hand, if work is carried out outside your premises, then it is not your liability. For instance, repairs to ACs, furniture, etc., where the expenditure is not considered salary/wages, make sure to specify on the bills that the work was done outside the plant and do not recover any such contributions.
In the case where faculties are conducting classes at your premises and ESI/PF is applicable, there is no way to escape compliance, except for deductions from wages.
