A DIRECTOR OR EMPLOYER CANNOT BE ARRESTED BY INCOME TAX OR EPFO AUTHORITIES ON THE SOLE GROUND THAT HE HAS NOT PAID PROVIDENT FUND OR INCOME TAX ARREARS: THAT’S WHAT THE KERALA HIGH COURT HELD IN “ALI VERSUS RECOVERY OFFICER, EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND ORGANISATION”( PART-II)
Therefore a person who is under such threat must marshal his resources skillfully in order escape such illegal arrest. And I must say that engaging an able Advocate is one of the most crucial aspects of such marshalling.
