I have heard the submissions made by the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and considered the materials on record. I find that the petitioner has made a representation before the authorities, requesting them to enable the petitioner to liquidate the dues by availing the monthly instalment facilities. I have also found that by the notification dated 11th February, 2014, Additional Central Provident Fund Commissioner (Compliance) of the Employees’ Provident Fund Orgainsation, had notified, all Additional Central PF Commissioners (Zones) and other regional offices with regard to their decision to grant instalment facilities to the establishments for liquidating their dues. I find that the respondent no.2 had determined a sum of Rs.28,10,899/towards the contributions payable by the petitioner under Section 7A of the said Act, for the period from October, 2019 to May, 2022, which the parties agree that the same has been incorrectly recorded as April, 2015 to November, 2018 at internal page 3 of the aforesaid order. In such circumstances there is no reason to treat the petitioner differently. Since the petitioner has volunteered to pay a sum of Rs.2,50,000/- upfront, let the said amount be paid by the petitioner on or before 19th December, 2022. The petitioner shall be entitled to pay the balance amount of Rs.25,60,899/- in fifteen (15) equal monthly instalments
