The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) received more than 95 per cent contribution through internet banking, VP Joy, Central PF Commissioner, noted while reviewing work progress in August.
“It was decided to educate and encourage remaining establishments to switch over to internet banking for payment of contributions for faster reconciliation and quick services,” EPFO said in release, adding it was now mandatory for employers to pay statutory contributions through internet banking.
The retirement fund body also noted the “enduring issue” was enrolment of eligible contractual and construction workers.
“In a recent meeting taken by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Labour on 29th August, 2016, the Chairman stressed the need for EPFO to ensure enrolment of contractual workers in Delhi Metro Rail Corporation,” it said, adding that instructions had been issued to field offices to enrol such workers. In August, EPFO settled 22,237 grievances registered on the internet grievance management system —EPFiGMS — portal, leaving 4,210 grievances pending. Of the remaining grievances, 77 per cent were pending for less than seven days, it added.
