The rules of the Trust provides that the interest shall be cedited to the members account at a rate as decided by the Board of Trustees but the rate in no case shall be less than the rate notified by the Central Govt. The deficiency shall be made good by the Employer.
The Trust has provided the interest @ 8.5% but the Income of the Trust is not suffient to meet the Interest amount
eg. The Total Interest provided by the Trust is Rs. 100,000 Income of the Trsut is Rs. 60,000 Surplus in the Income & Expenditure A/c b/f from previous year is Rs. 10,000
Now What shall be the liability of the Employer?
Rs. 40,000 (100,000-60,000) or Rs. 30,000 (100,000-60,000-10,000)

Thanks a lot for your reply. But sir can you please explain why we the libility of the employer is Rs. 30,000 and not Rs. 40,000. shouldnt we deal on year to year basis?
The surplus from the previous year (Rs. 10,000) is available to offset part of the current year's shortfall. This reduces the amount that needs to be covered by the Employer. The liability of the Employer is to make good the deficiency after considering the surplus from the previous year
