Who is eligible for the advance from EPF to fight COVID-19 Pandemic?

Any member of EPF Scheme, 1952 with UAN (Universal account number) employed in any establishment or factory covered under EPF & MP Act, 1952.

What is the new beneficial provision?

It is to provide for non-refundable advance from their EPF account to EPF members, employed in factory or establishment located in an area, which is declared to be affected by outbreak of epidemic or pandemic by the Appropriate Govt.

How can I know whether establishment/factory in which I am employed is in an area declared to be affected by COVID-19 pandemic?

Since COVID-19 has been declared a Pandemic by the Appropriate Government for the entire country and therefore the employees working in establishments and factories across entire India, who are members of the EPF Scheme, 1952, are eligible.

Is EPF member required to produce any certificate or document for availing this advance?

No certificate or documents are to be submitted by member or his/her employer for availing the benefit.

How much money can I get from my EPF account under this new provision to fight COVID-19 and do I have to refund it?

You can get non-refundable withdrawal to the extent of the basic wages and dearness allowances for three months or up to 75% of the amount standing to your credit in the EPF account, whichever is less. Since withdrawal is non-refundable, there is no requirement to refund the amount.

How to Calculate EPF Benefits ? illustrate the calculation of benefits ?

If the balance in member’s EPF account as on date is Rs.50,000/- and monthly basic wage and dearness allowance is Rs.15,000/-

75% of balance of Rs.50000/- is Rs.37,500/- & amount of three months wage is Rs.45000/-. So member is eligible to get Rs.37,500/- the least of two amounts.

FINMIN : Special Instructions relating to relief operations for COVID-19 global pandemic

Department of Expenditure

Dated: 27th March 2020

OFFICE MEMORANDUM

Special Instructions relating to relief operations for COVID-19 global pandemic

In its I.D.No.101/2/1/2020-CA.IV dated 26th March, 2020, the Cabinet Secretariat has asked the Department of Expenditure to facilitate the procurement and transportation of medical and other essential supplies for COVID-19 operations by issuing suitable guidelines or providing necessary relaxations, for the following Ministries/Departments:

i) Department of Pharmaceuticals
ii) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare
iii) Ministry of Textiles
iv) Department of Consumer Affairs
v) Ministry of Civil Aviation.

The Cabinet Secretariat has pointed out that a Logistics Committee for COVID 19 operations has been constituted in this regard to coordinate transport and other logistics services. Accordingly, the following special instructions are hereby issued under Rule 6(1) of the General Financial Rules 2017 to facilitate procurement (Part I hereof) and incurring of expenditure (Part II).

2. These instructions apply to the following Ministries/Departments for procurement and transportation of medical and other essential supplies for COVID-19 operations:

(i) Department of Pharmaceuticals
(ii) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare(including Department of Health Research)
(iii) Ministry of Textiles
(iv) Department of Consumer Affairs
(v) Ministry of Civil Aviation.

Part I: Procurement

3. The prevailing health emergency requires immediate procurement of certain items in quantities which may not be available with a single supplier and/or within the time frame in which they are needed. There is also a possibility that some items may not be available in the country in sufficient quantity within the time frame in which they are needed. Certain items of equipment are currently in global short supply and are effectively in a ‘sellers’ market’. There are also variations in specifications within the same category of item and hence price differences may sometimes reflect differences in specifications or quality. With the shutting down of international flights and surface
transport routes, international procurement may have to be done through Indian missions. Being a national health emergency of unprecedented and historic scale, delays in procurement will result in loss of lives of citizens. Hence there is a paramount public interest in ensuring that the necessary supplies are procured in the fastest possible manner and financial procedures have to adapt accordingly.

4. Rule 166 of the GFR provides inter alia as follows:

Single source procurement. Procurement from a single source may be resorted to in the following circumstances:

(i) It is in the knowledge of the user department that only a particular firm is the manufacturer of the required goods

(ii) In a case of emergency, the required goods are necessarily to be purchased from a particular source and the reason for such decision is to be recorded and approval of competent authority obtained.”

This is in respect of procurement of goods.

5. Rule 204 of the GFR 2017 provides as follows:

“Procurement of Non-consulting services by nomination. Should it become necessary, in an exceptional of situation to procure a non-consulting service from a specifically chosen contractor, the Competent Authority in the Ministry or Department may do so in consultation with the Financial Adviser. In such cases the detailed justification, the circumstances leading to such procurement by choice and the special interest or purpose it shall serve, shall form an integral part of the proposal.”

This is in respect of procurement of non-consulting services, including air and other transportation services.

6. Rule 149 provides that procurement of goods and services through Government e-Marketplace (GeM) will be mandatory for items available on GeM. In the present situation of lock down, vendors under GeM, even if orders are placed, may not always be able to effect deliveries of supplies on time and desired locations, due to closure of factories, stoppage of transportation services and general disruption of normal life.

7. In view of the urgency involved in the procurement of medical and other essential supplies, where time is of the essence and delay may result in loss of life, the following special instructions are issued for any emergent purchases related to COVID-19 operations: –

(i) The provisions of Rule 149 will not be applicable to purchases made under Rule 166 or Rule 204 cited above.

(ii) Procurement may be simultaneously undertaken under Rule 166or Rule 204 from more than one source if the entire quantity required is not available, or is not immediately available, from one source. Such procurement may, if unavoidable, be at different rates.

(iii) Procurement may be undertaken through Indian Missions. In case of procurement through Indian missions abroad, the concerned Ministry/Department shall provide the necessary details including quantity, specifications etc. Prices shall be fixed by the Indian Mission in consultation with the Ministry/Department.

(iv) If the entire quantity required is not immediately available from any one method of procurement, procurement may also be resorted to simultaneously by multiple methods, namely, procurement under Rule 166 / 204 (as the case may be), procurement through GeM, and procurement through other procurement methods (including through Indian missions) and such procurement may, if unavoidable, be at different rates.

(v) Rates for transportation and logistics services shall be fixed by the Logistics Committee.

8. The term “essential supplies” will include any items deemed by the Ministry/Department, with the approval of the Secretary, to be essential supplies necessary for COVID 19 operations.

9. Secretaries, if they feel necessary, may constitute committees of officers to deal with and recommend and/or decide any of these matters.

10. These instructions will apply notwithstanding anything to the contrary provisions in the Delegation of Financial Powers.

Part ll : Relaxation of Expenditure Guidelines in case of absence of sufficient budgetary allocation in the relevant Budget head

11. For expenditure to be incurred on or before 31.03.2020:-

i) In the event the Ministry/Department has sufficient funds as per RE 2019-20 within their Demand, the Department shall utilise the savings for the expenditure requirements arising out of Relief Operations for COVID-19. Post-facto approval may be sought from DoE for the said expenditure by April 15, 2020.

i) The Financial Advisor with the approval of the Secretary of the Ministry/Department may authorize expenditure in excess of appropriation as per BE 2020-21. The said authorization shall be under Rules 61& 69 read with Appendix 10 of GFR. Within three working days of incurring of such expenditure, the proposal shall be sent to DoE for post-facto approval.

ii) The concerned Ministry /Department shall submit a Contingency Expenditure Plan by 10th April, 2020 to the Department of Expenditure outlining the expected amount and the heads under which the expenditure on account of Relief Operations for COVID-19.

iv) For any requirement of the Ministry/Department to incur expenditure in excess of the expenditure indicated for Quarter 1 of 2020-21, prior approval of the Department of Expenditure shall be sought.
