Case History
The Supreme Court allowed Halwasia Vidya Vihar's appeal against a Rs. 14,50,172 penalty imposed under Section 14(B) of the Employees Provident Funds Act, 1952, reducing it to 25% of the amount. The school had scrupulously followed the applicable state government provident fund scheme and timely transferred accumulated balances to the EPF; the court found no intentional default and distinguished the case from precedent where an employer willfully defied court directions, thereby warranting penalty reduction based on special circumstances. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
