Provident fund membership disputes require commissioner determination, hearings for affected parties, and compliance with limitation periods.
Membership disputes concerning entitlement, obligation, continuation, or commencement date under the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 2026, are determined by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner after hearing the employer and concerned worker. Pre-cessation disputes under the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 1952, remain governed by that Scheme's membership rules. International Worker hearings must be held in India. New proceedings require initiation within five years of the alleged dispute, and pending membership inquiries under the ceased Scheme must conclude within two years of the Code's commencement.
