Explanation

According to Section 7L(2) of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, a Tribunal may, at any time within five years from the date of its order, with a view to rectifying any mistake apparent from the record, amend any order passed by it.

The Act specifies that the Tribunal shall make such amendment if the mistake is brought to its notice by the parties to the appeal. However, if such amendment has the effect of enhancing the amount due from, or otherwise increasing the liability of the employer, it can only be made after giving the employer a reasonable opportunity of being heard. This provision ensures that clerical or mathematical errors can be corrected while maintaining the principles of natural justice. Note that while the EPF Appellate Tribunal was merged into the Industrial Tribunal (CGIT) in 2017, the procedural provisions of the parent Act remain relevant.
