The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-II, Guntur Region, T. Indira said the companies have to file a return on particulars of ownership in Form-5A as per the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act-1952. She said the deadline for online filing of return in Form-5A is March 31 and failure would amount to non-submission of statutory return and render the defaulting establishment liable for penal action under Section 14 of the Act.
The establishments that submitted the return manually must also file the return online, she added.
