Provident fund, gratuity and pension dues were treated as statutory employee entitlements excluded from the liquidation estate, and the Tribunal rejected the argument that a segregated fund must exist on the liquidation commencement date for those dues to survive. It held that the provision is due-centric, not asset-centric, so the liquidator remains liable to pay such amounts outside distribution under the waterfall.
