(a) If the advance contribution of the employer is not paid on or before the due date, the officer authorised under section 11 or the Chief Executive Officer shall issue a notice to the defaulter showing the amount of arrears, and, if the amount is not paid within fifteen days of the receipt of such notice, it may be recovered in the manner provided in section 13 of this Act. (b) Where the contribution of the worker is not paid within a period of six months from the due date, the officer authorised under section 11 or the Chief Executive Officer shall issue a notice to the defaulter to clear of the dues and even after the date of receipt of such notice and fails to remit the amount due his membership shall stand cancelled. (c) An application for resumption of membership of whose membership cancelled as per clause (b) of the above shall be entertained by the officer authorised under section 11 or the Chief Executive Officer, if the applicant adduces sufficient cause for not remitting the contribution before the due dates and also expresses his consent in writing for remittance of the entire dues as on the date of application together with nine per cent interest thereon. An application under clause (c) shall not be entertained, if it is not preferred within three years from the date of cancellation of the membership.
