Salary-slip deductions do not guarantee that employers deposit provident fund contributions. Here's how employees can check the status and report discrepancies, if any.
Salaried employees usually check their salary slips to see whether provident fund (PF) has been deducted every month. However, this does not confirm that the employer has deposited the contribution with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and credited it to the employee's EPF account.
Companies covered under EPFO are required to deposit both the PF deducted from employees' salaries and their own matching contribution to the retirement fund within 15 days of the close of the month.
