Supreme Court heard petition by Debasish Mukherjee seeking PF contribution from NTPC, with a cheque of Rs1.11 crore presented.
ASG highlighted that employer contributions must be paid directly to EPFO, not via cheque to employee, questioning NTPC's compliance.
Court directed NTPC’s Director (Accounts) to appear and show cause for alleged irregularities, scheduling hearing for 18 May 2026.
If issues settle by that date, Director may submit affidavit instead of appearing.
