In effect to the recently bifurcated Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952 will be implemented from October 2019. 

The meeting of the Central Board of Trustees of the Employee’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), held in August 2019, initiated a decision regarding the implementation of the scheme in J&K and Ladakh under the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019, and the abolition of Article 370.

Jammu & Kashmir was formerly governed by their in-house EPF scheme of 1961 and Employees Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) linked scheme of 2000. However, on the 5th of August 2019, President Ram Nath Kovind issued a new order wherein all the provisions in the Constitution of India will be applicable to J&K further making all the existing clauses of Article 370 inactive.

EPFO: Three-Day Settlement Period for KYC issues

To address and resolve the KYC issues and employees’ complaints about the Universal Account Number (UAN), the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has put forward to organise a three-day settlement period. 

The inability to generate the UAN due to mismatch in the data was acknowledged by the authorities recently. Following this, the Central Provident Fund Commissioner Sunil Barthwal, during an event by the Confederation of Indian Industry in Bangalore asserted that they are planning to introduce an alternative authentication for employee database. He also mentioned about the proposal of the three-day settlement period for KYC complaints.

Moreover, according to Barthwal, to curtail any kind of harassment, an e-inspection system will be introduced which will simplify the inspection process and ensure avoiding any kind of physical inspection until absolute necessity.

A Newly Introduced Service by EPFO: E-Inspection System

The Employee’s Provident Fund scheme is going to introduce a whole new service in the name of e-inspection system which will eventually make the inspection process manageable and effortless. This service will be eliminating the physical inspection for the organisations with open communications until absolutely necessary. 

‘The CII (Confederation of Indian Industry) proposed that in order to retrench harassment, the enquiry period must be limited to maximum 2-years’; confirms Sunil Barthwal, Central Provident Fund Commissioner. Barthwal also asserts that since there are employees unable to generate UAN (Universal Account Number for employees entitled to EPF) because of mismatch in the data, EPFO is working on an alternative for authentication regarding the database.

Last week, a news regarding hike in EPF interest rate to 8.65% in the financial year 2018-2019 was also confirmed. The improvement in the system will bring joy for thousands of employees and also curtail “misuse and corruption”.
