Recently, the PF Department announced a change in administrative charges (w.e.f 1-1-2015) from 1.10% to 0.85%. However, for Jan and Feb, companies may have already paid the amount, right? Is there a mechanism to get the extra money paid to PF.

Dear Seniors, Even we are in dilemma, how to get back the additional admin charges which were already paid for two months. Regards Upender HR

It is extremely cumbersome to claim back the excess paid to the government. In that case, the only remaining possibility is that of adjustment. It, therefore, seems logical that you pay the minimum charges as specified until the excess paid is liquidated.

Dear Saswata ji,

There is a saving of lakhs of rupees for many employers that I know. Also, it is not a question of a small amount or a large amount. When the government comes out with a decision that has a retrospective effect, why should one not exercise their legal right? Adjustment is possible on the portal while uploading ECR.

Dear all,

It is not a matter of a small or large amount. Any amount paid in excess or less can be adjusted or paid against onward dues, but only in that particular head. For example, if an amount is paid erroneously less in account 2, it can be remitted in account 2 only. Similarly, if paid in excess, it can be adjusted accordingly.

My working is, it comes to your ₹150 for every ₹100,000 in salary paid. If it comes automatically, that's fine. If you have to fight for it or run after the department, it may not be worth it.

Government will never take more that what is due.Excess payment may not be paid back in cash but adjustment is always permitted.

Dear Mr. Saswat,

Please check what Mr. Sharma has said. If your employer has questioned you about this, do you have a substantial answer? Because they count every rupee they spend, so it is not a matter of 1L or 2L.

Assume the total payable salary is 1cr or 2cr.
