TeamLease Skills University Litigation Hearing Adjourned to September 1, 2026
TeamLease Skills University's appeal against an EPFO order has been adjourned to September 1, 2026. The hearing was postponed as the EPFO sought an extension to file a reply. The dispute concerns the applicability of PF regulations to NEEM trainees.
The announcement states there is no immediate or ascertainable financial impact as the proceedings are limited to applicability and do not quantify dues. The matter is disclosed as a contingent liability.
The adjournment of the hearing is a procedural development and does not immediately indicate a positive or negative outcome. The company remains optimistic, but the final resolution is pending.
TeamLease Services Limited has provided an update regarding the appeal filed by TeamLease Skills University (TLSU) with the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat. This appeal was filed pursuant to an order received from the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO).
The advocate for the EPFO had requested an extension for submitting their reply to the appeal. Consequently, the hearing, originally scheduled for August 07, 2026, has been adjourned and is now listed for September 01, 2026.
The dispute pertains to the applicability of the EPF Act to NEEM trainees deployed by TLSU. An order under Para 26B of the EPF Scheme, 1952, was received on March 11, 2026, concerning the period from July 2014 to June 2022. TLSU argues that NEEM trainees are not employees as per the NEEM Scheme guidelines and thus not subject to PF contributions. The company is optimistic about obtaining a favourable outcome, citing a similar case where they secured an interim stay from the Hon’ble High Court of Madras. The matter has been disclosed as a contingent liability in the consolidated financial statements for FY25.
