EPFO - TDS is compulsory on withdrawal of premature Provident Fund w.e.f. 01.06.2015

Friends,

Provident fund withdrawals before five years of completion of service will now attract income tax ranging between 10 per cent and 34.608 per cent.

A new provision in the Finance Act, 2015 that becomes effective from June 1 has mandated that premature withdrawals of retirement savings that exceed Rs 30,000 before completion of five years of service will be subject to tax deducted at source.

Tax would be deducted at the rate of 10 per cent if the subscriber provides the PAN number but the levy would go as high as the maximum marginal rate of 34.608 per cent if the subscriber does not provide his PAN number at the time of withdrawal.

The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) is understood to be discussing the issue with the finance ministry to reconsider the issue but it has issued a notification and detailed guidelines to field offices on tax deduction.

“Income Tax shall be deducted at source… if at the time of payment of the accumulated PF balance is more than or equal to Rs 30,000, with service less than five years,” Sanjay Kumar, financial adviser said in a missive.

Exemption from TDS would be given to senior citizens and subscribers with no taxable income, provided they submit the required forms, the EPFO has said, adding that in these cases too tax would be levied if the amount withdrawn exceeds Rs 2,50,000 and Rs 3 lakh, respectively.

However, workers whose service has been terminated due to his ill health, contraction or discontinuance of business of employer or other cause beyond the control of the member will also be exempt from paying TDS on such premature withdrawals.

TDS would also not be levied on transfer of retirement savings from one account of the member to another.

EPF Inquiry against Employers Time Barred After 7 Years

Friends,

Retirement fund body EPFO has tightened the norms for initiation of its inquiries against employers and also set a time bar of seven years for such proceedings, a move which the trade unions have described as anti-worker.

The circular, which was issued by Central Provident Fund Commissioner (CPFC) R C Mishra on his last day in office (November 30), seeks to modify the provisions that result in harassment of employers and establishments.

In a worker friendly move, the circular also redefined the meaning of "basic wages" for the purpose of provident fund deductions and said, "All such allowances which are ordinarily, necessarily and uniformly paid to the employees are to be treated as the basic wages.

According to the circular, the inquiry against employers can only be initiated after, "actionable and verifiable information," is placed for consideration before the compliance officers.

The employer, it said, would be required to make available online the complete history of the establishment for the benefit of compliance officers.

The information to be provided should include the amount remitted and the number of employees engaged by the establishment.

The order of assessment to be issued by the EPFO, it said, should be 'speaking order' (with reasoning) and should not suffer from procedural infirmities.

With regard to the time period for initiating inquiry, it said, "no inquiry or investigation shall ordinarily go beyond seven years, i.e., it shall cover the period of default not exceeding preceding seven years."

The open assessment, inquiries and investigations serve no real purpose the circular said adding, "such inquiries often don't result in identification of beneficiaries and only tend to harass the employers and establishments."

Opposing the circular, the trade union leaders have decided to press the government for withdrawal of the circular.

"This circular which has time-barred such inquiries is anti-worker and we would Lodge our protest with the Labour Secretary," a EPFO trustee and Secretary Hind Mazoor Sabha A D Nagpal said.

Echoing similar views, another EPFO trustee and Secretary of All India Trade Union Congress (AITUC)    D L Sachdeva said: "We will demand withdrawal of this circular and soon write to Labour Secretary about this."

EPFO has over 50 million subscribers and manages a corpus of over Rs 3.5 lakh crore.
