Under the EPF & MP Act, 1952, employers are liable to pay penalties for delayed remittance of PF contributions. These include:

Section 14B – Damages: Penalty for delayed payment, ranging from 5% to 25% per annum depending on the delay period.
Section 7Q – Interest: Simple interest @ 12% per annum on the amount due from the due date to the date of payment.

📌 Penalty Structure (Section 14B):
• Upto 2 months delay: 5% per annum
• 2-4 months delay: 10% per annum
• 4-6 months delay: 15% per annum
• 6+ months delay: 25% per annum
• Maximum damages can be up to 100% of the arrears.

Upto 2 months	5% per annum	12% per annum
