Sir, Please clarify. In this case policy has not been taken but as per actuarial valuation certificate, liability is provided in the books of accounts. suppose further that merely by providing liability , the company will not been able to make the payment unless it has sufficient cash in hand and what will happen if company goes bankrupt.

For liability of PF and Gratuity, the Directors of the Company are personnally liablie. If you are aware, in the case of Subhiksha (retail chain), the promoter director was required to deposit the amount for PF from his personal funds.
So, making provisions in books of accounts is for showing true and fair veiw of the company's position. In case the company fails in its liability, directors personal liability is invoked.
