Benefit of EPF Scheme to Industrial Workers

By

-

Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 statutorily applies to employees getting wages upto Rs. 6500/- in respect of scheduled establishments employing 20 or more workers. State-wise details are given at Annexure.

The mechanism to regulate and monitor the implementation of Labour Laws is incorporated in respective Labour Laws.

Occasional instances of such nature have been noticed in the Employees Provident Fund offices.

All such observed cases are pursued vigorously and several measures have been taken to prevent and discourage such instances as per details given hereunder:-

(i) The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation website as on date provides all relevant information to its various stakeholders i.e. employees, employers, subscribers as well as the public at large.

(ii) All information relating to Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 & Scheme provisions including various application forms have been provided in a downloadable format.

(iii) Claim settlement status has also been provided on the website offline which is updated every day.

(iv) Facilities such as National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT), Short Messaging Service (SMS) (informing members on the settlement of their claims), facility to view account balances (in selective offices), claim status, filing of e-Challans in a few offices have also been made operational.

(v) Work related to processing, calculation & disbursement of payment is mostly computerized and carried out through the software provided by National Informatics Centre of Government of India in an environment where public interface is minimal.

(vi) The computerization has resulted in increased settlement thereby reducing pendency and backlog thus leading to lesser complaints and grievances. It has also lead to a more effective monitoring of pendency and settlements.

(vii) Besides complaint based investigations are carried out, checks are also undertaken during Surprise Inspections as well as Preventive Vigilance Inspections and for any irregularity noticed, actions are initiated against the officials involved.

(viii) To streamline and clearly define activities, circulars on Combating Corruption in Compliance matters have also been issued by the Vigilance Wing.

The Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge gave this information in reply to a written question in Rajya Sabha today.

The Employees’ State Insurance Act, 1948 applies to employees of factories employing 10 or more persons and certain specified establishments such as shops, hotels and restaurants, cine and preview theatres, road-motor transport undertakings, newspaper establishments, educational and private medical institutions employing 20 or more persons located in areas where the scheme is in force. 14 States have also extended coverage to shops and establishments employing 10 or more persons. Employees of factories and establishments covered under the scheme drawing monthly wages upto Rs. 15,000/- are covered under the scheme. As on 31.03.2011, the scheme is in force in 790 industrial centres in the country covering 1.55 crore insured persons. The total number of beneficiaries including family members of insured persons who are entitled to medical care under the scheme is 6.02 crore. The scheme is in force in all States and Union Territories except Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Manipur, Sikkim, Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Lakshadweep. Similarly, under the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, establishments employing 20 or more persons are coverable. The establishments which are not coverable statutorily could be covered on voluntary basis if a majority of the employees and employer are willing.

For the purpose of coverage under ESIC and Employees Provident Fund, there is no criterion whether the establishment falls under organized or unorganised sector. Hence, no such separate details of the number of unorganised sector workers covered under the Employees’ Provident Funds Scheme, 1952 or Employees State Insurance Scheme are available. The total number of workers in 6,60,546 establishments have 6,15,88,670 members’ accounts under Employees’ Provident Fund Organization.

The Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge gave this information in reply to a written question in Rajya Sabha today.

igeadmin
-

New Pension Scheme (NPS) is a defined contribution scheme, its pay out depends upon the amount of contribution and the growth on the investment over a period of time for an individual while defined benefit schemes pay out is defined and is based on salary and number of years in service etc. at the time of retirement of an individual.

At the time of normal retirement after attaining 60 years, the subscriber can withdraw 60% of the accumulated wealth and will be required to invest remaining 40% of the accumulated wealth to buy a life annuity from insurance company approved by Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA). The mandatory provision of annuitisation will be invested to buy life annuities as per various options available to him. The amount of annuity varies depending upon the option selected by him. Registration of ASPs (Annuity Service Providers) is under process and as soon as they get registered, other details will be made available.

In old pension scheme government pays pension after retirement as its liability while in NPS government co-contributes to employee during his service period to build up a corpus on which annuities will be paid.

By

-

The number of labourers covered under the Employees’ State Insurance (ESI) Scheme in India as on 31st March, 2011 is 1,55,30,049 which includes labourers in Rajasthan. The total number of labourers covered in Rajasthan as on 31st March, 2011 is 5,06,126.

The Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) is issuing a set of two Smart Cards called “Pehchan Cards”, one for the Insured Person (IP) and another for his dependant family.

Issuing a set of Smart Cards to Insured Persons (IPs) under Module Pehchan relates to issue of identification, authentication and verification of Insured Persons and beneficiaries for providing medical treatment anytime, anywhere in India.

Issuing of cards to ESI beneficiaries is a continuous process as new members continuously keep entering the scheme through employment. Nearly 80 lakh beneficiaries have been enrolled upto 30.11.2011. The process of issuing of Smart Cards to remaining Insured Persons is on.

For Pehchan Card, there is no separate cost estimate as this is a sub-component of Project Panchdeep.

Pension Under Provident Fund Schemes

By
igeadmin
-

In exercise of powers conferred under Section 6A of the Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the Central Government formulated the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995. The Scheme provides pensionary benefits to the members upon superannuation/retirement. In addition, in case of death of member/member pensioner, the pensionary benefits are also given to widow and children/orphan/ nominee/dependent parents as per the provisions contained in the Scheme.

The benefits under the Scheme are paid out of the Employees’ Pension Fund into which the employer and the Central Government contribute @ 8.33% and 1.16% of the wages respectively subject to a wage ceiling of Rs.6,500/-.

The Central Government had constituted an Expert Committee for reviewing the Employees’ Pension Scheme, 1995 entirely including revision of Pension. The Expert Committee submitted its report to the Central Government on 5th August, 2010 and the recommendations of the Committee were placed before the Central Board of Trustees, Employees’ Provident Fund [CBT (EPF)] for consideration on 15th September, 2010. The CBT(EPF) directed that the report be first considered by the Pension Implementation Committee (PIC). The PIC has since finalized its report and sent it to Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation for placing before the CBT (EPF) for taking a final decision in the matter in its ensuing meeting.

CSD Depots in Himachal Pradesh

By
igeadmin
-

Government of Himachal Pradesh has requested this Ministry for setting up of a CSD Depot in the State in view of the number of Servicemen, Ex-servicemen and their families residing there.

Land measuring approximately 188kanals had been offered by Himachal Pradesh Government in this regard. However, the same was not found to be suitable, since some of it Included khud/nallah which is prone to flooding during rainy season.

It is not possible at this stage to anticipate the time likely to be taken for setting up the Depot at Una in view of the fact that the Government of Himachal Pradesh is yet to identify another piece of suitable land. Once a suitable alternate land is offered by the State Government the proposal will be considered depending upon availability of budget and manpower.

This information was given by Defence Minister Shri AK Antony in a written reply to ShriVirenderKashyap in LokSabha today
