EPFO puts in place Online Mechanism to credit EPF and EPS Accounts of Subscribers as per PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojna

EPFO puts in place Online Mechanism to credit EPF and EPS Accounts of Subscribers as per PM Gareeb Kalyan Yojna

Around 79 Lakh Subscribers and approximately 3.8 Lakh Establishments to Benefit

Subsidy outgo estimated at Rs 4800 Crore for 3 months

Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), a statutory body under Union Ministry of Labour and Employment, has put in place an electronic mechanism for crediting EPF and EPS accounts of its subscribers as per the package announced by the Union Government under PM Gareeb Kakyan Yojna on 26.3.2020 for helping the poor to fight Corona pandemic.

Accordingly, the relief announced by the government can be claimed by eligible organisations/establishments by filing Electronic Challan-cum-return (ECR). The due amount on behalf of Employers and Employees reflected in the ECR on account of EPF and EPS (24% wages) will be credited by the Central Government for three months in UANs of contributory EPF members, earning monthly wage of less than Rs.15000/-, who are already employed in EPF covered establishments/factories employing up to one hundred employees with 90% or more of such employees earning monthly wage of less than Rs.15000/-. Around 79 lakh subscribers and approximately 3.8 lakh establishments are expected to benefit benefit from the package. This is estimated to have a subsidy outgo of Rs 4800 crore in a period of three months.

It may be recalled that Central Govt. had launched the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) on 26.03.2020 to help poor fight the battle against Corona Virus pandemic. The PMGKY package is aimed at preventing disruption in the employment of low wage earning EPF members and extending support to the eligible EPF covered establishments.

To implement the above package, the Ministry of Labour and Employment had subsequently notified the Scheme specifying the objective, eligibility criteria, validity period, process and manner to avail the relief.

The Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR) filing will enable the establishments to avail the relief in respect of their eligible employees.

The employer in relation to any eligible establishment, shall disburse wages for the month to all employees of the establishment and file Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) with required certificate and declaration to avail the benefit under the Scheme.

After ECR is uploaded and eligibility of establishment and employees is validated, then the challan will separately show amount of employees’ and employers’ contributions due as Central Govt. relief in respect of eligible employees and the remaining amount payable by the employer.

After the employer remits the payment due from him for other employees, as reflected in challan, the EPF & EPS contributions will be credited directly in the UANs of the eligible employees of the establishment by the Central Govt.

The details of the Scheme and FAQs containing clarifications on various aspects of the package are available on homepage of EPFO website under the TAB “COVID-19”

ईपीएफओ ने पीएम गरीब कल्याण योजना के अनुरूप अभिदाताओं के ईपीएफ एवं ईपीएस खाताओं को क्रेडिट करने के लिए आनलाइन तंत्र लागू किया

लगभग 79 लाख अभिदाताओं एवं लगभग 3.8 लाख प्रतिष्ठानों को लाभ पहुंचेगा

तीन महीनों के लिए 4800 करोड़ रुपये के सब्सिडी व्यय का अनुमान

केंद्रीय श्रम एवं रोजगार मंत्रालय के तहत एक सांविधिक निकाय, कर्मचारी भविष्य निधि संगठन (ईपीएफओ) ने कोरोना महामारी से लड़ने में गरीबों की सहायता करने के लिए 26.03.2020 को पीएम गरीब कल्याण योजना के तहत केंद्र सरकार द्वारा घोषित पैकेज के अनुरूप अपने अभिदाताओं के ईपीएफ एवं ईपीएस खाताओं को क्रेडिट करने के लिए एक इलेक्ट्रोनिक तंत्र लागू किया है।

तदनुसार, सरकार द्वारा घोषित राहत का लाभ पात्र संगठनों/ प्रतिष्ठानों द्वारा इलेक्ट्रोनिक चालान सह रिटर्न (ईसीआर) फाइल करने के जरिये प्राप्त किया जा सकता है। ईपीएफ एवं ईपीएस (24 प्रतिशत वेतन) के कारण ईसीआर में परिलक्षित नियोक्ताओं एवं कर्मचारियों की तरफ से नियत राशि केंद्रीय सरकार द्वारा 15,000 रुपये से कम कमाने वाले अंशदायी ईपीएफ सदस्यों, जो पहले से ही 100 कर्मचारियों को रोजगार देने वाले, जिसमें से 90 प्रतिशत या इससे अधिक की मासिक आय 15,000 रुपये से कम है, ईपीएफ कवर्ड प्रतिष्ठानों/फैक्टरियों के यूएएन में तीन महीनों के लिए क्रेडिट कर दिया जाएगा। लगभग 79 लाख अभिदाताओं एवं लगभग 3.8 लाख प्रतिष्ठानों को इस पैकेज से लाभ पहुंचने की उम्मीद है। इससे तीन महीनों के लिए 4800 करोड़ रुपये के सब्सिडी व्यय का अनुमान है।

उल्लेखनीय है कि केंद्रीय सरकार ने कोरोना वायरस से लड़ने में निर्धनों की सहायता के लिए 26.03.2020 को प्रधानमंत्री गरीब कल्याण योजना (पीएमजीकेवाई) आरंभ की थी। पीएमजीकेवाई पैकेज का उद्वेश्य निम्न आय अर्जित करने वाले ईपीएफ सदस्यों के रोजगार में आने वाली बाधाओं की रोकथाम करना एवं ईपीएफ के तहत कवर होने वाले योग्य प्रतिष्ठानों की सहायता करना है।

उपरोक्त पैकेज को कार्यान्वित करने के लिए, श्रम एवं रोजगार मंत्रालय ने बाद में उद्वेश्य, योग्यता मानदंड, वैधता अवधि, प्रक्रिया एवं राहल प्राप्त करने का तरीका विनिर्दिष्ट करते हुए स्कीम अधिसूचित कर दी।

इलेक्ट्रोनिक चालान सह रिटर्न (ईसीआर) फाइलिंग प्रतिष्ठानों को उनके पात्र कर्मचारियों के संबंध में राहत का लाभ उठाने में सक्षम बनायेंगे।

किसी योग्य प्रतिष्ठान के संबंध में नियोक्ता प्रतिष्ठान के सभी कर्मचारियों को महीने के लिए वेतन संवितरित करेगा और वांछनीय प्रमाणपत्र एवं स्कीम के तहत लाभ उठाने के घोषणापत्र के साथ इलेक्ट्रोनिक चालान सह रिटर्न (ईसीआर) फाइल करेगा।

ईसीआर के अपलोड हो जाने तथा प्रतिष्ठान एवं कर्मचारियों की पात्रता सत्यापित हो जाने के बाद चालान अलग से योग्य कर्मचारियों के संबंध में केंद्रीय सरकार की राहत के रूप में नियोक्ताओं एवं कर्मचारियों के बकाया योगदान एवं नियोक्ता द्वारा भुगतान किए जाने वाली शेष राशि प्रदर्शित करेगा।

जैसाकि चालान में परिलक्षित है, नियोक्ता द्वारा अन्य कर्मचारियों के लिए उससे बकाया भुगतान कर दिए जाने के बाद, ईपीएफ एवं ईपीएस योगदान केंद्र सरकार द्वारा प्रतिष्ठान के योग्य कर्मचारियों के सीधे यूएएन में क्रेडिट कर दिया जाएगा।

स्कीम के विवरण एवं पैकेज के विभिन्न पहलुओं पर स्पष्टीकरण सन्निहित एफएक्यू टैब ‘कोविड-19‘ के तहत ईपीएफओ वेबसाइट के होमपेज पर उपलब्ध है।

Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), an statutory body under Union Ministry of Labour & Employment has processed about 1.37 lakh claims across the country disbursing an amount of Rs. 279.65 crore under a new provision especially formulated by amending the EPF Scheme to help subscribers fight Covid-19. The remittances of the moneys has already started taking place. The system as it stands today is processing all applications which are fully KYC compliant within less than 72 hours. Members, who have applied for claims in some other category, can also file claim to fight pandemic and depending upon the KYC compliance condition of each member, every effort is being made to settle claims at the earliest.

The provision for a special withdrawal from the EPF Scheme to fight Covid-19 pandemic is part of the PMGKY scheme announced by the government and an urgent notification on the matter was made to introduce a para 68 L (3) of the EPF Scheme on 28th March 2020. Under this provision 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 member’s credit in the EPF account, whichever is less, is provided. The member can apply for lesser amount also. This, being an advance, does not attract income tax deductions.

Anticipating the huge surge in the demand, EPFO came out with acompletely new software which has been developed from scratch and a receipt module for on-line receipt of the claims was introduced within 24 hours and deployed on 29th March 2020. Further, the application was required to be in paperless form to curtail any physical movement in view of social distancing. It was decided to introduce a system of settling claims in auto mode directly by the system in respect of all such members whose KYC requirements was complete in all respects.

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a serious threat and considering dire need of money in these trying times, it has been decided to process advance to fight COVID-19 pandemic on top priority.

Claims for availing advance to fight pandemic are filed online, necessitating every EPF account to be KYC complaint as pre-cursor. EPFO has relaxed date of birth correction criteria to ease KYC compliance enabling submission of claim to fight pandemic online. EPFO would accept the date of birth recorded in the Aadhaar card of a subscriber as a valid proof for rectification of the date of birth in PF records. All cases with variation in date of birth up to three years are now being accepted by EPFO.

ईपीएफओ ने कोविड-19 से लड़ने के लिए 10 दिनों के भीतर 1.37 लाख निकासी दावे निपटाये

केंद्रीय श्रम एवं रोजगार मंत्रालय के तहत एक सांविधिक निकाय, कर्मचारी भविष्य निधि संगठन (ईपीएफओ) ने कोविड-19 से लड़ने में अभिदाताओं की सहायता के लिए ईपीएफ स्कीम में संशोधन करने के द्वारा विशेष रूप से बनाये गए एक प्रावधान के तहत 279.65 करोड़ की राशि वितरित करते हुए देश भर में लगभग 1.37 लाख दावों का निपटारा  किया है। धन का प्रेषण भी पहले ही आरंभ हो चुका है। वर्तमान में यह प्रणाली 72 घंटों के भीतर उन सभी आवदनों का संसाधन कर रही है जो पूरी तरह केवाईसी की शर्तें पूरी करते हैं। जिन सदस्यों ने दावों के लिए किसी अन्य वर्ग में आवेदन किया है, वे भी महामरी से लड़ने के लिए अपने दावे प्रस्तुत कर सकते हैं और प्रत्येक सदस्य की केवाईसी स्थिति के अनुरूप, उनके दावों को जल्द से जल्द निपटाने के प्रयास किए जा रहे हैं।

कोविड-19 महामारी से लड़ने के लिए ईपीएफ स्कीम से विशेष निकासी का प्रावधान सरकार द्वारा घोषित पीएमजीकेवाई योजना का एक हिस्सा है और इस मामले में 28 मार्च, 2020 को ईपीएफ स्कीम के एक पैरा एल (3) का सूत्रपात करने के लिए तत्काल एक अधिसूचना जारी की गई। इस प्रावधान के तहत, तीन महीने के लिए मूल वेतन एवं महंगाई भत्ते की एक सीमा तक गैर-वापसी योग्य निकासी या ईपीएफ खाते में सदस्य के क्रेडिट में जमा राशि के 75 प्रतिशत तक की रकम, जो भी कम हो, प्रदान की जाती है। सदस्य कम राशि के लिए भी आवेदन कर सकते हैं। अग्रिम होने के कारण, इस पर आयकर कटौती नहीं की जाती।

मांग में भारत उछान का पूर्वानुमान लगाते हुए, ईपीएफओ ने एक बिल्कुल नया साफ्टवेयर प्रस्तुत किया जिसे आकस्मिक रूप से विकसित किया गया है और दावों की आन लाइन प्राप्ति के लिए एक रिसीट माड्यूल को 24 घंटों के भीतर पेश कर दिया गया एवं 29 मार्च, 2020 को इसे तैनात कर दिया गया। इसके अतिरिक्त, सोशल डिस्टैंसिंग को ध्यान में रखते हुए किसी शारीरिक आवाजाही में कमी करने के लिए आवेदन को पेपरलेस प्रारूप में करने की आवश्यकता थी। फैसला किया गया कि ऐसे सभी सदस्यों के संबंध में, जिनकी केवाईसी आवश्यकताएं हर प्रकार से पूर्ण हों, सिस्टम द्वारा प्रत्यक्ष रूप से आटो मोड में दावों के निपटान की प्रणाली विकसित की जाए।

कोविड 19 महामारी ने एक गंभीर खतरा उत्पन्न कर दिया है और इस चुनौतीपूर्ण समय में धन की महत्ती आवश्यकता को ध्यान में रखते हुए तथा कोविड 19 महामारी से लड़ने को शीर्ष प्राथमिकता देते हुुए इसे अग्रिम रूप से ही संसाधित करने का फैसला किया गया।

महामारी से लड़ने के लिए अग्रिम का लाभ उठाने के दावों को आनलाइन भरा जाता है जिसके लिए आवश्यक है कि प्रत्येक ईपीएफ खाता पहले से ही केवाईसी अनुवर्ती हो। ईपीएफओे ने महामारी से लड़ने के लिए दावों को आनलाइन प्रस्तुत करने में सक्षम बनाते हुए केवाईसी को सरल बनाने के लिए जन्मतिथि शुद्धिकरण मानदंड में ढील दे दी है। ईपीएफओ किसी अभिदाता के आधार कार्ड में दर्ज जन्म तिथि को पीएफ रिकार्ड में जन्म तिथि के शुद्धिकरण के लिए एक वैध साक्ष्य के रूप में स्वीकार करेगा। जन्म तिथि में तीन वर्ष तक की भिन्नता के सारे मामले अब ईपीएफओ द्वारा स्वीकार किए जाते हैं।
