The statute of limitations does not apply to employee dues and the dues remain outstanding as employees may have absconded, have left no forwarding address etc.
Wat in this case should be the treatment of these outstanding dues?
Is there a specific Government Account where these have to be deposited?
Wat act would govern the same?

Hi xerxes,

Since the employee is absconding from the duties you have to send a letter ( through registered ad only) to the employee at his permanent address ( send mail to him) stating that he is absconding from the duties since ....................., so he has to come to office and give the explanation why he is absent from the duties without taking permission from his senior. This has to send to him thrice with a interval of 20-25 days. Then you have to send a final letter to him that his services is terminated due to this reason and ask him to clear his NO Dues. If he is not coming to office for doing the clearance formalities you are not suppose to clear his payment.

As per Bonus Act, if he is eligible for the Bonus , you have to send the Bonus cheque ( through registered ad only) to him at his permanent address. If the cheque comes back to you. You have send it againg , againg it will come back. You can deposite the amount to the Govt Welfare Department.

Hope I will clarify your query to some extent.

Please check Payment of wages Act and Payment of Bonus act.
Those who are not covered under these acts, I have not come across with any specific provision. Thos who fall under these acts, we need to deposit after the expiry of three years with labour welfare fund
We can not deposit before the expiry of three years. There is a limitation provided in these acts.
