The correct option is C. A Tribunal under the EPF Act can amend an order to rectify a mistake apparent from the record within a period of two years from the date of its order.

Section 7L(2) of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, specifically provides that the Tribunal may amend any order passed by it, with a view to rectifying any mistake apparent from the record, within two years from the date of the order.

This provision allows for correction of clerical or arithmetical errors or other mistakes that are obvious on the face of the record, without requiring a full review or appeal, thereby ensuring accuracy in the tribunal’s orders.
