📌 The Challenge

One of our clients, a mid-sized manufacturing company, received a 7A notice from the Provident Fund department. The authorities alleged non-compliance and demanded payment of retrospective PF dues for contract workers, amounting to several lakhs of rupees.

⚠️ Risks for the Client

• Heavy financial penalties if dues were upheld
• Loss of reputation with authorities
• Disruption of operations during the inquiry process

🛠️ Our Approach

At Sahaj Consultancy, we immediately conducted a compliance audit of the client’s records. Our team:

• Reviewed PF records, challans, and wage registers
• Gathered evidence that many workers were not eligible under PF rules
• Prepared a detailed representation with supporting documents
• Personally represented the client before PF authorities during hearings

✅ The Outcome

Thanks to our documentation and strong representation:

• The alleged liability was reduced by over 80%
• The company avoided penalties and unnecessary financial burden
• The client was able to continue operations smoothly without disruption
