EPF Act Section 11 | Lien on Auction Proceeds Renders Bank Account Attachment Otiose: MP HC Gwalior
The Madhya Pradesh High Court has ruled that once the EPFO secures a lien on the auction proceeds of a defaulting company’s assets, attaching the personal bank account of a director is disproportionate and legally unsustainable. This clarifies that recovery under the EPF Act must respect the principle of proportionality, protecting individuals from dual enforcement when the debt is already secured.
