The book under review is the most exhaustive, analytical, authoritative, and up-to-date treatise on the Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 together with Schemes thereunder and other allied matters written by a celebrated author having wide experience in writing several books on law.
The need for publication of the present reprint updated edition of this established work on the subject within a short span since its last edition bears enough testimony to its usefulness and popularity.
With new problems cropping up, the law of Employees’ Provident Funds is ever-evolving. Hundreds of new judgments have been delivered by various High Courts and the Supreme Court after the publication of the last edition. All these judgments have been analysed and commented upon in the book.
The book seamlessly carries the contents with the entire gamut of case-law of High Courts & Supreme Court on this complicated subject surveyed and analysed under a large number of subject headings and sub-headings. Supreme Court decisions are discussed in depth. The conflict between decisions of different High Courts is highlighted and resolved with the author’s comments. The case law on the Schemes under the Act is discussed under relevant sections; provisions of the Act are explained by the author wherever case law is not available.
References to about 350 new cases added in this edition make the book more comprehensive and useful.
The book also contains Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995, Employees’ Deposit-Linked Insurance Scheme, 1976, Employees’ Provident Funds Appellate Tribunal (Conditions of Service) Rules, 1997, Income-Tax (Certificate Proceedings) Rules, 1962, Income-Tax Act, 1961-Second and Third Schedules.
A special feature is a Practical Guide for Employees & Employers which highlights and explains various aspects of the law in easy-to-understand language along with Dos & Don’ts.
The author has taken pains to ratiocinate, in a questionnaire format, the impact of the law laid down by the Supreme Court to inoculate the incongruency.
The commentary is styled to pinpoint the principles condensed in the headings borne by paragraphs duly numbered in logical sub-numbering sequence. It has eschewed being unnecessarily narrative, though, where facts were needed to expound a principle which is usually unique in its application to each case, same has been stated to consummate with the principle enunciated.
The book will prove indispensable not only to the Bench & the Bar but equally to industries, establishments, institutions, employees, labour organisations and officers of E.P.F. Organisation.
