#EPF contributions

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that Employer Provident Fund (EPF) contributions form part of the deceased's gross salary for computing compensation under the Motor Vehicles Act. The court enhanced the award by ₹7.75 lakh, setting a precedent for accurate income assessment in motor accident claims.

Bombay HC holds that EPFO cannot reject higher pension claims based on missing Form 6A or challans if EPF statements and Form 3A confirm contributions. Employees cannot be penalized for employer or administrative failures beyond their control, ensuring statutory pension rights under the Employees' Pension Scheme 1995.
