EPF due payment via demand draft: EPFO allows one-time payment of past EPF dues via Demand Draft

The EPFO now permits employers to make one-time payments of past EPF dues via Demand Drafts, addressing situations where the standard Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) system is unfeasible. While emphasizing internet banking as the preferred method, the EPFO allows this alternative if the regional officer is satisfied it's a one-time request.
