Kirloskar Brothers has paid Rs. 35,97,409 (about Rs. 36 lakhs) to the Regional PF Commissioner in Kolhapur as directed by an order dated March 20, 2025, under the Employees Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The order relates to unpaid employer contributions towards PF, pension, and insurance for employees of four educational institutes at Kirloskarvadi for the period March 1982 to June 2008. The company is solely liable for March 1982 to July 1986, and jointly/severally liable with Sangli Shikshan Sanstha for August 1986 to June 2008. The payment was made to protect employees' interests and comply with the order, while the company has reserved its right to challenge the order. The company stated it does not foresee any material impact on its finances or operations, though additional penal damages and interest may be calculated separately by the department.
The amount involved is small (under Rs. 36 lakhs) and has already been paid, so there is no major financial impact. However, there is a possibility of additional liability in the form of penal damages and interest under sections 14B and 7Q of the EPF Act, which the department will calculate separately. Shareholders should treat this as a minor compliance matter with negligible impact on the stock.
