I have received the recovery letter from pf office. Actually my father started the business in 2005 and in 2015 he expired, due to which business is stopped. After that we closed the pf account. After that we start getting the notice from PF office and now they are asking me to pay the amount, else they will take action on me. They said legaly I am responsible to pay his due of 50k. So what should I do.

We had a 7A inquiry in the year 2012 in which PF officials had raised liability on special allowance which was the part of the CTC from 2005-2008. We came to know about the same after the inspection in 2012, where in we were told that special allowance would also be considered for PF calculation. Based on that we made the adhoc payment against the liability. Earlier we received the payment notice which was of X amount and when we visited PF office with all the necessary documents recently we were again asked to give employee wise details of that X amount to credit that amount in their respective account which should have been done earlier when we paid that X amount in 2012. Our point is that we have never defaulted in paying the regular payments. Now we have received the revised order stating the amount has increased from X to 3 times as they have considered the effect of that adhoc payment from 2005 which was not a regular payment.
We would like to know whether such kind of payments/ arrears (Liability on special allowance identified in 2012) would also attract damages & interest from 2005 OR 2012.
Through some sources we came to know that recently there was judgement passed on such case where in the damages were levied on such adhoc payments when identified and not from the beginning.
Please guide us on the same & help with some citations.

By enforcing a high rate of penalty the employers would pay attention to the EPF.
Further, what would be the action taken against the employers who do not want to take the employees (getting a salary of >6500) registered under the EPF who were already registered with EPF while with their previous employer.
It is most welcome measure of providing faciality to tract PF Claim status on internet. But, what is required more urgently is the facility to tract the PF account status itself (i.e.: accumulated amount, interest accrued, loan availability etc., as the yearly statement is very irregular from PF Office at Kolkata as I am not getting any statement for the last 2 years.
I read the article reg penalty.I feel the penalty of 25% for above 6 months is less instead it should be 50%.one year it should be 100% and for subsequent years it should be number of years multiplied by 100 and that much percentage should be the penalty.
