EPFO told to pay 6% interest on Rs 14 lakh PF claim after 35-day delay: What consumer commission said

The Mumbai consumer commission ruled against the EPFO, citing service deficiency linked to inadequate communication regarding a joint declaration application. Consequently, the commission mandated EPFO to pay six percent interest on the delayed EPF claim, which was filed by the complainant back in October 2016. EPFO has been instructed to fulfill this directive within a strict timeframe of forty-five days.
