Dear Client,

Provident Fund is governed by law and employer can not act arbitrarily in withholding the PF amount as it is being kept by him in a trust

And Employer cannot withhold withdrawal of fund even if there is a departmental inquiry pending. Complain to Labor commissionaire and ministry of labor and employment

No they can't hold PF and pension it's government organization body you can personally visit in the PF office and manually withdrawn PF and pension amount. Tell them you have left the L&T organization. 

 

For F&F you have to clear points with HR.

You should have made a representation in writing to the top management about the dues to be settled to you after quitting the organisation.

If the management has not responded properly then you can initiate legal steps in furtherance by first issuing a legal demand notice demanding the settlement of your F&F and also release of PF and pension amount.

You may initiate the legal steps as suggested

- No trust can hold PF & Pension , due to pending of any internal settlement.

- As per law, it is a punishable offense.

- You should file a complaint with Regional Provident Fund Commissioner for the same. 

- Before lodging any complaint , issue a legal demand notice .

1. No trust cannot stop payment of PF and pension account due to pendency of full and final settlement by company.

2. They can stop payment because some funds may come in PF and pension account after F &F settlement.
