Para 2.13 — GPF_MANUAL

(G.I.F.D.No. 99-FA dated 10.3.1913 and 302-FE dated 10.4.46 C.G.’s letter No.1071 F.331-6 dated 22.5.1916). 2.13 Since deposits in the General Provident Fund are protected under the P.F. Act, against all creditors, Government should not use their position as custodians of the fund to put themselves in a better position than other creditors. Government has issued definite orders on the subject with the object of making it perfectly clear that, whatever be the legal position, the amounts detected as overpayments in the course of audit and other claims of Government should not be compulsorily recovered from the balance at depositor’s credit in the General Provident Fund.
