If your job was of a supervisory nature, we suggest that you should send the Company a Legal Notice by way of Regd. AD and Speed Post for payment of your dues including bonus and PF within a stipulated time period or else you shall initiate legal proceedings.

 
In case the payment is not released by the company within the time period, you can then file a civil suit against the company for recovery of the said dues as debt. The amount payable to you is in the form of debt on the company and you can hence initiate an action for recovery of this debt. The court fee is about 2-2.5% of the amount you are claiming.

The Employee Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) has a grievance Redressal mechanism in place and it is covered under the Consumer Protection Act. The EPFO has become a part of the Centralized Public Grievances Redressal and Monitoring System, which allows you to register the grievances and track their status online. It is a centralized system, so all your complaints are also monitored by the head office and they endeavor to respond to all grievances within 30 days.

Grievances related to the following are handled by this system:

1. Final Settlement/Withdrawal of EPF
2. Transfer of EPF Corpus
3. Issue of PF Statements/PF Balance

Alternatively, you can file a claim petition before the authority under Payments of Bonus Act and Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act. A labour court judge is generally designated for this purpose. Or alternatively, you can file an application under Section 33 C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act.
