The primary object of these three schemes is to provide social security and to
inculcate amongst the workers a spirit of savings while they are gainfully employed and to
make provision for benefits after they retire from service and for their family members after
death. The three Schemes, taken together now cover a large area of social security system
for the workers in covered industrial and other establishments employing 20 or more
persons.

measure of success in designing and implementation of a good monitoring system in the
matter of compliance under the Compliance 2001 programme.
There has been an increase in arrears during the year. This has been primarily due
to special efforts made by the organisation to detect default in time and trigger in recovery
action. As a result more number of 'assessments were made under Section 7A of the Act
during the year which is a legal requirement before taking recovery action. Number of
assessments has increased by 29.98% and fresh demand created during 2000-2001 is Hs.
1981.07 crores as compared to Rs. 1684.63 crores in 1999-2000.

offices namely, Uttaranchal, Jharkhand, Chattisgarh & Goa were opened with a view to
provide service nearer to the doorstep of the members. Also sub-regional offices at
Kottayam (KR), Gurgaon (HR), Kukatpally (AP) & sub-accounts offices at Patencheru (AP),
Noida (UP) & Naroda (GJ) started functioning.
COMPLIANCE
2001 PROGRAMME
Concerns Expressed
In various forums, particularly in the Executive Committee of the CBT as we!! as in
the Central Board of Trustees, Members had been raising doubts about the statistical
information about total membership and coverage. In order to address these doubts, a
special effort was mounted in December 1999 at the headquarters to evaluate the actual
position.
The entire data bases from existing computer systems were copied in all the EDP
centers across the country and brought to the headquarters. Since the existing computer
systems being used were outdated and were unable to produce required information for a
strategic management of the Organisation, a special software was developed to breach the
weaknesses and gaps in the systems in order to carry out a comprehensive 100% check of
the compliance position in relation to the claimed membership strength as well as number of
covered establishments.
The results of the above exercise were found that a very large percentage of existing
or claimed members of the Fund had received no credit in their individual accounts and
consequently no accounts slips were issued to them. The parameters set under the
software were to detect each case where no credits had appeared over the last 3 years.
10

The analysis and factual position suggested the following:
(i) The system of dividing jurisdiction amongst Inspectors on a territorial basis
was not meeting the required goals behind the procedure. If such large nonreporting
or under-reporting of liability was possible by the concerned
establishments without the same being brought to the notice of the authorities
concerned, it is obvious that the system was not delivering.
(ii) It was not prudent to rest the compliance function of such a large
Organisatior. with such serious responsibilities on the subjective satisfaction
of one individual within a territorial jurisdiction. It was upto such official to
report default/aberration or not. It is also possible that it was too much of a job
for one individual.
(iii) There was a crying need to retool the system and bring more focus to the
compliance function.
(iv) !t was 'mperative that as a first measure the full effort should be towards
securing compliance from non-complying establishments.
Mandate
for Change
• Central Board of Trustees (EPF) considered the findings of Computerised Verification
and mandated the Organisation to take all corrective steps to rectify the situation
brought out by the Computer Audit.
• As per the directive of the eBT, EPF, the Organisation identified the systemic shortcomings
in the traditional system of Enforcement and put in place a revamped
information driven "Compliance Machinery" with focus on customer care.
In response to the above, a special program "Compliance 2001" mandated by the
Central Board of Trustees was put in place. Under this program, the following steps were
taken:
(i) The concept of area jurisdiction being given to individual Inspectors (who are
not gazetted officers) was dispensed with.
(ii) The compliance function was consolidated at the level of Assistant Provident
Fund Commissioners. In every Regional/Sub-regional Offices, compliance
circles consistent with the volume of work were credited under the charge of
individual APFCs.
(iii) The Inspectors were deployed within the control of these compliance circles
in appropriate numbers. The compliance function was put into an information
driven mode.
11

(iv) i3iillu routine inspections were scrapped. Inspections were hitherto to be
carried out only in cases of defaulting establishments. Detection of default by
data mining of information in the accounts section was instituted.
(v) Allotment of code numbers was to be made within 3 days of application to
check the reported cases of misuse in this activity.
The mandate for the compliance
2001' program is as under:
circles for the financial year under the 'Compliance
(i) To focus the entire team effort on the defaulting establishments identified
ut ider the above exercise and given to them in order to bring them to
compliance fold or to delete the names if the same were non-existent.
(ii) To enforce the collection of current and arrear demand relating to all cases
assigned to such compliance
circle.
(iii) To initiate legal action under Section 7A for determination of dues and
recovery in all cases reported by the accounts branch through a special
Software program developed and implemented. This is the Compliance
Control Management System. This program is designed to habitually detect
every case of default on a monthly basis for follow up action.
New Business Model for Compliance has produced remarkable outcomes during the
year 2000-2001:
• Growth in employer base by 4.13% during financial year 2000-2001 as
compared to 2.55% in financial year 1999-2000.
• 40.93 lakh members brought within the compliance fold and annual statement
of account slips issued which they had not received for the last 3 years and in
some cases even from 88-89 onwards.
• 42897 N_on-complying establishments brought under the compliance main
stream.
• Due to timely detection of default, 21925 fresh assessments under section 7A
completed durinq 2000-2001 as compared to 16874 during the previous year.
. • Aggregate dues recovered in 18 months is Rs.1423.31 crores as compared to
Rs. 728 crores collected between 1991 to 1998-99 a period of 9 years.

CHAPTER III
ORGANISATION
INTRODUCTION
Constitution of India in Part IV under the Chapter, "Directive Principles of State Policy",
inter-alia, enjoins upon the State to strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and
protecting as effectively as it may, a social order in which justice, social, economic and political
shall inform all the institutions of the national life.
Government of India has, through various enactments, endeavoured to give effect to the
ideas and objectives enshrined in the Constitution. In the field of social security, the Employees'
Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the three Schemes framed under
it, namely, the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 1952, the Employees Deposit Linked
Insurance Scheme, 1976 and Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 are amongst the extensive
and major social security programmes for the working class of India.
Empioyees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 was enacted with the
main object of "making some provision for the future of the industrial worker after he retires or
for his dependants in case of his early death". It was then felt, after considering the possible
alternatives, that the most appropriate course for this purpose was the institution of compulsory
contributory provident funds to which both the worker and the employer would contribute. It was
recognised that such a scheme would have, apart from others, the obvious advantage of
cultivation among the workers the spirit of saving something regularly and would also encourage
the stabilisation of a steady labour force in industrial centres.
The Act initial!y provided for framing of a Scheme to be called the 'Employees' Provident
Funds Scheme' for the establishment
employees.
of provident fund under the Act for specified classes of
The Employees' Provident Funds Scheme was accordingly framed and it came into
effect from 1.11.1952. On a review of the working of the Scheme over the years, it was found
that although Provident Fund was an effective old age and survivorship benefit, in the event of
premature death of an employee, the accumulations to the Provident Fund might not be
sufficient to render adequate and long-term protection to his family. This led to the introduction
of the Employees' Family Pension Scheme with effect from 1.3.1971 for the employees covered -,
under the Act and creation of a Family Pension Fund by diverting a portion of the employees'
and the employers' contribution from the Provident Fund supplemented by a contribution from
the Central Government.
Jn the year 1976, the Act was further amended with a view to introducing yet another
Social Security Scheme to provide an insurance cover to the members of the Provident Fund
without payment of any premium by such members. The insurance cover was linked to
deposits in the Provident Fund to the credit of the deceased employee. The Employees'
Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme came into effect from 1.8.1976.
14

Atl Ordinance was promulgated on 17th October, 1995 which was repealed by
amendment of Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 in August,
1996 empowering the Central Governme~t to frame a Scheme called the Employees' Pension
Scheme, 1995 which was introduced w.e.f 16.11.1995 replacing the Employees' Family Pension
Scheme. 1971.
The three Schemes taken together provide to the employees an umbrella for the rainy
day in the shape of old age and survivorship benefits, a long-term protection and security to the
employee and after his death to his family members, and timely advances during the period of
membership. To the employers, they provide a steady labour force, which is essential for the
productivity and prosperity of the establishment. To the Government, they provide funds of
considerable maanitude for utilisation on various projects and programmes designed to promote
economic and social development of the country and well being of its people.

ARREAR DEMAND - PROVIDENT FUND & o'!'~~~ I3UES - UNEXEMPTED SECTOR
At the end of the financial year 1999-2000, there was an outstanding arrear demand of
RS.58917.48Iakhs. This was further increased due to additional recovery certificates issued in
respect of unrealized current demand of Rs. 59168.88Iakhs. Thus total workload for 2000-2001
for recovery became Rs. 118086.31 lakhs. Rs. 41435.31 lakhs have been recovered through
recovery action leaving a balance of Rs. 76651.00 lakhs at the end of the financial year 2000-
2001.
Recovery during the corresoondino oeriod of previous year was Rs. 30605.31 lakhs.
Thus there is an increase of Rs. 10830.00 lakhs. The balance has also increased to
RS.76651.00 lakhs from Rs. 58917.431akhs as compared to closing balance of previous year.
During the period under report the responsibility of collecting the dues under section 7A and14B
of the Act was fixed on the Assessing Officers. The increase in closing balance of arrear
demand is as a result of non-realization of current demand during the year including the dues in
respect of cases registered under !3IFR, stay granted by various other courts and due to
establishments under liquidation.
The major portion of arrears at the end of the year is concentrated in seven regions
namely Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh. Maharashtra, Orissa, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and
West Bengal. These seven regions account for arrears of Rs. 47717.00 lakhs, which constitutes
62.25% of tile total arrears. The region-wise position is given in Table: 9.

STATUS NOTE ON BIOI INDUSTRY
Establishments engaged in the manufacture of Bidi were brought under the purview of
me Empioyees' Provident Fllnrls & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 by Notification GSR No.
660 dated 17.5.77. The implementation of the Act and Scheme framed thereunder was
challenged by the employers of Bidi Industry and also succeeded in obtaining stay of the
notification from the Supreme Court. Subsequently Supreme Court of India upheld the
applicability of the Act in respect of the Bidi Industry. Accordingly instructions to secure
compliance with the provisions of the Act from all covered establishments issued. However, the
implementation of the Act and Scheme was not smootn since various associetions of employers
of Bidi Industry wanted that the Act shouid be enforced from the date of Supreme Court's
judgement and not from 1977.
After protracted
negotiation following was decided:
i) All Bidi manufacturers must pay current contributions from 1.10.85 onwards in
respect of both home workers and factory workers.
ii) Management of the establishments to pay both shares of contributions for back
period even if the same was not deducted from employees wages.
iii) Regional P.F. Commissioners to determine the dues for home workers with
reference to the records of the establishments.
iv) Arrears towards employer share of contribution shall be payable in 48 monthly
installments. In deserving cases the periods of installments would be extended
by another six months.
Subsequently the Government of India, Ministry of Labour on the recommendations of
Central Board of Trustees issued directions under Para 78 of the Scheme waiving the payment
of employees' share of contribution for the pre-discovery period as also the period covered'by
the general stay order given by the Supreme Court of India on the application of the provisions
01 the Act to Bidi Industry.
After the grant of the concession, some of the employers started complying with the
provisions of the Act and paid the arrears in installments and substantial arrears have been
liquidated. In the meeting of the 'Bidi Mazdoors' chaired by the Hon'ble Labour Minister,
attended by the employers, employees and Government representative, held on 3.7.90, it was
decided that all arrears in respect of employer's share should be paid by 31.12.90 falling which
prosecution may be launched against the employers.

DIFFICULTIES IN COVERING UNDER ACT
In Bidi Industry, excepting a few workers others are home workers, In respect of home
workers considerable difficulties are experienced in identifying and enrolling eligible employees.
The reasons for the same are given here below:
• Home workers have no regular work spot. They are located in various nook and
corners of the various States and in far flung areas. It is difficult for the Enforcement
Officers to visit all these places and houses to identify the eligible employees.
• In many places !h'? hp~rl nf thp f~mil~1 tn whom thR contractors supply the raw
materials is enrolled as the member but in reality the entire family including wife and
children are Bidi rollers. Though the women and children at home are counted as
Bidi workers, the actual enrollment in Provident Fund is given only to one person i.e.
the head of the family. That accounts for wide variation between the number of Bidi
workers identified and the membership achieved.
• Many home workers do resist deduction to be made from their wages. Due to low
wage structure the deduction
at the rate of 10% affects them a lot.
• It is noticed that many Bidi workers seek final settlement often due to economic
compulsions. Of them, those who have the benefits after attaining the age of 55 are
not eligible to become members, even if they are employed again as home workers.
• While there could be some means of identification and communication in respect of
home workers engaged by brand holders, it becomes much more difficult in respect
of home workers of un-branded Bidies. Those establishments employ very small
number of home workers and the turn over of work is also low. Those
establishments employing less then 20 persons do not come under the purview of
the Act.
• The home workers receive the materials for rolling of Bidi from the sattedars or
Contractors. These contractors are required to maintain necessary details with .
regard to the supply of raw materials to various persons. It IS they who have to
maintain name & address of the home workers engaged by them. But more often
records are not maintained in any from as required under Bidi and Cigar Workers
(Conditions of Work) Act. Thus, no linkage could be established in respect of such
home workers.
• Home Workers being mainly women and children, they do not volunteer to furnish
the requisite information. Besides, in some places religious constraints also stand in
the way of detecting home workers like Paradanashin ladies etc.
It is generally stated that there is wide gap between the members in Bidi Industry under
Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the number of cards
61

issued to the Bidi workers by Welfare Commissioner under Bidi Workers' Welfare Fund Act.
The major factor for the gap is wide difference in the definition of entitled persons under both the
Acts. Under Bidi Workers Welfare Fund Act 1976, the Fund is applied to promote the welfare of
persons engaged in Bidi Industry. According to Section 2 of the Bidi Workers Welfare Fund Act,
a person is said to be engaged in the establishment if he is engaged in that establishment
directly or through any agency whether for wages or not for doing any work, skilled or unskilled,
manual or clerical and includes: -
I. Any person who is given raw material by an employer or contractor for being
made into Bidi at home and
11. Any person not engaged by employer or contractor but working with tho
permission or under the agreement with the employer or contractor.
Under Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, persons
referred to in condition no. (ii) above are not covered, as employer or contractor does not
engage them. It shows that this is one of the main factors causing wide difference between
cardholders and Provident Fund members. The extent of coverage of bidi establishments under
the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 is indicated below:

IMPORTANT LEGAL CASE DECISIONS
The briefs of important decisions in respect of the interpretation implementation of the
Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 are as under:
In the Supreme Court of India Civil Appellate Jurlsdlct'on Civil Appeal No. 4285 of 1998 in
respect of Mls S K Nasiruddin 8eedi Merchant Ltd (Appellant) Vs. Central Provident Fund
Commissioner & another (Respondent,
The appellant is a manufacturer of beedis. The appellant had not deducted from the
wages of the home workers employed through contractors for manufacture of beedis because of
pendency of litlqaticn in order to contribute towards the Provident Fund on the ground that the
Act would not be applicable in cases of such employees. Further the contention raised by
appellant is two fold.
Firstly that the Act is not applicable in respect of beedi roller engaged through
contractors and secondly, if the Act is applicable the same cannot be enforced for the period in
question on account of various circumstances and the liability under the Act is only to make
payment after deduction of contribution towards Provident Fund from the wages of employees
and not otherwise.
So far as the first contention is concerned, it was held by the Hon'ble Court that the Act
would be applicable even in respect of home workers engaged through contractors. So far as
second contention is concerned, it was held by the Hon'ble Court that the applicability of the Act·
to any class of the employees is not determined or decided by any proceedings under section
7A of the Act, but under the provisions of the Act itself. When the Act became applicable to the
employees in question, the liabilities arises and same is determined or quantified under section
7A of the Act. The Hon'ble Supreme Court dismissed the appeal.
In the Supreme Court of India Civil Appellate Jurisdiction Civil Appeal No. 8567-8568 of
1997 - Sh. Chandeo Sugar Mill (Appellant) Vs. Union of India & another (Respondent)
The Appellant company entered into a Memorandum of settlement with its workers on
2 nd December 1995 wherein it was agreed that the workmen whose services were
terminated/retrenched with effect from 31siOctober 1988 would be paid their dues on or before
63

31st March 1996. It was also agreed that even though the amount payable was Rs.
1,23,03,947.07, the Union would accept a sum of Rs. 1,10,00,000/- towards settlement of dues.
Out of the settlement, Rs. 35,00,000/- pertains to the wages & Rs. 10,00,000/- towards retaining
(seasonal wages). The main question involved whether Provident Fund is payable on sum of
Rs. 35,00,000/-
paid as wages and also on Rs. 10,00,000/- oaid towards retaining (seasonal
wages). The company claimed that this was an ad hoc payment, hence Provident Fund was not
deductible on this sum. This was not accepted and appeal was dismissed. The employer's
agreement with the employees not to deduct Provident Fund does not discharge the employer of
his obligation in law to make payment.

Mls Ra",~I~ 8~hlc~ri ~h.~~~ ~_~~!!~Ltd (.I\.~~~!!~nt)Vs. EPF Appellate Tribunal & others
(Respondent)
In this case amount was assessed under Section 7A of EPF & MP Act, 1952 against the
Appellant in respect of certain class of persons who are covered under an agreement to
transport sugarcane. The question raised here is whether they are employees in respect of
whom the establishment has to make contribution under the Act. The Regional Provident Fund
Commissioner
did not discuss the materia: on record to determine the aspect. The order made
by High Court, Employees' Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal and Regional Provident Fund
Commissioner were set aside and the matter was remanded to Reglcnal Provident Fund
Commissioner
for fresh adjudication.

CHAPTER V
EXEMPTED ESTABLISHMENTS
On the applicability of the Act to an establishment the employers are required to comply
with the statutory provisions of the Scheme. However, such of these establishments, which
have their own Provident Fund Scheme in vogue conferring benefits to their employees equal to
or better than those provided under the Statutory Scheme may seek exemption under Section.
17 of the Act from the provisions of the Statutory Scheme, if their employees are in favour 01
such exemption. Likewise individual employee or class of employees who contribute to the
employer's Provident Fund Scheme may also seek exemption under Paragraph 27 and 27A of
the Statutory Scheme to continue to be members under their Provident Fund Scheme.
The grant of such exemption is to enabie the employees to continue to eniov the better
benefits available to them under the private Provident Fund Scheme. Such exemptions does not
amount to the total exclusion from the provisions of the Act and the exempted establishments
continue to be covered under the Act, the only distinction being that a Board of Trustees
properly constituted according to rules in the exempted establishment administer the exempted
provident fund subject to the terms and conditions under which exemption is granted and
subject to such supervision and control as laid down by the Government
Any such exemption granted to an establishment is liable to be cancelled for
contravention of any of the conditions governing exemption and on such cancellation; the
establishment will be required to comply with the Statutory Scheme. Pending scrutiny of rules
and grant of exemption to the establishments, which have applied for exemption, the Regional
Provident Fund Commissioner can grant relaxation to those establishments under Paragraph 79
of the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, subject to certain conditions. ~o that the
employees do not suffer reduction in the benefits available to them under the private Provident
Fund Scheme of the establishment consequent on the enforcement of the provisions of the
Statutory Scheme. The organisation, while considering an application for exemption takes into
consideration mainly the rate of contributions made by the employer and the employees the
eligibility clause and interest rate payable to the members on their accumulation. Though the
functioning of exempted establishments is the responsibility of ihe Board of Trustees in each
establishment, the organisation exercises its control over such establishments through periodic
inspections for ensuring proper compliance of conditions of exemption.

that the contribution will be diverted from "Employer's share" only. The Central Government
continues contributing at the rate of 1.16% as before. The benefits and entitlements to the
members under the old scheme shall remain protected and continued under the new
Pension Scheme. 1995.

PENSION DISBURSEMENT
ARRANGEMENTS
i) N~tionalised Banks
For ensuring disbursement of pension every month, arrangements have been made
through nationalised banks to remit the pension by providing credit to pensioner's pension
'payment Account every month by the appointed date. This arrangement has been worked
out. in collaboration with Indian Banks Association and being enlarged gradually.
Arrangements have been enlarged further by bringing in 3 rd & 4th nationalised banks to
participate in the programme in 4 regions. Region wise list of designated banks are
furnished in the following Table.

comprising of 37 inhabited Islands were disbursed through United Bank of India, which has
only one Branch at Port Blair. State Bank of India has not so far finalised agreement for
disbursement of pension in these islands. It was very difficult for the pensioners scattered
over these islands to come to Port Blair for drawing pension. Considering the peculiar
geographic situations in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands and keeping in view the difficulties
faced by the pensioners. Government was requested to relax the provision of Para 33 of
Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 to entrust the disbursement of pension to M/s. Andaman
& Nicobar State Co-operative Bank Ltd., which has large number of branches spread .over
most of the islands. Government has approved the proposal and accordingly an agreement
82

has been entered into with M/s Andaman & Nicobar State Co-operative Banks Ltd., and
disbursement
started from March, 20G~.

Post Offices
With the increase in the number of pensioners and keeping in view the future growth
and to enlarge the disbursement network, efforts has beenmaJe to ~Iing in post offices also.

banking arrangements for pension disbursement and the new arrangement will be
operationalised with effect from 01.07.2001. Thus the pensioners will have the option either
to draw pension through any of the designated banks or through Head/Sub-Post Offices
across the country. In other words Employees' Provident Fund Organisation reaching out to
pe~::!()~9~ !,., 9'.'9n.' ,..,00Lr?,..,rj ~0rnl'>r nf thp. country through around 26000 Head/Sub-Post
Offices. With this new arrangement the existing scheme of disbursement under Employees'
Family Pension Scheme 1971 will cease and EFPS pensioners also will be serviced under
the new arrangement.
ADMINISTRATIVE
SETUP
On introduction of the Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 working setup and work
norms have been redesigned appropriately to cope up with the challenging task of
implementation of the Pension Scheme and to provide a system arrangement for ensuring
prompt, unfailing and trouble free service to the Pension Fund members and pensioners. In
the process, in all the field offices Pension Wing has been constituted with a set up of
Pension (Monitoring) Section, Pension (Audit) Section, Pension (Disbursement &
Reconciliation) Section and a Database Creation Cell to exclusively look after the different
work areas and the settlement of benefits under Employees' Pensicn Scheme, 1995.
Pension Division at various offices have been strengthened by providing appropriate
application software programs to support in monitoring, pension calculation, PPO
generation, Disbursement and Reconciliation, Pension Fund accounts maintenance and
record up-keeping. A training programme for EDP Supervisors and other officials operating
CEPS Software were conducted at Zonal level at Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Calcutta and
Kanpur during July-September, 2000. The public grievance system has been further
strengthened for the convenience of the members at all the offices. At Head Quarters,
Pension Division has Pension(Legislation & Development) Section, Pension (Administration
& Control} Section and Pension(Actuarial)Section:
As part of streamlining the functioning of Pension Divisiun and to have effective
control, review meetings with Regional Provident Fund Commissioners (Pension) were held.
at Zonal level. Detailed deliberations have been made on all work areas under Employees'
Pension Scheme, 1995, particularly on the following and follow-up action is being taken:
• Database Creation for the existing members as well as new members;

83

HANDBOOK ON EMPLOYEES' PENSION SCHEME, 1995
Success of any service Organisation depends on the efficient service delivery to its
clientele, which in turn depends upon how effectively its functionaries are equipped.
Various amendments have been made to the Employees' Pc:;s!c~ Sc~c~c, ~995 s!:;sc i!=:
inception. In order to have uniform application throughout the country, numerous interpretive
clarifications/instructions have also been issued during the last five years. These
amendments and clarifications are lying scattered in the shape of letters and circulars. It
was, therefore, felt that various amendments and the clarifications might be brought together
at one place for instant referencing. Members of the Pension Implementation Committee
also felt the similar need and the Committee desired that a Handbook comprising of an
updated version of the Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995 and various clarifications issued
from time to time, be brought up. Accordingly, a Handbook on Employees' Pension
Scheme, 1995 has been compiled and circulated to all concerned.

CREATION
OF DATABASE
On introduction of the Pension Scheme, creation of database for member and their
families assumed greater importance to help settlement of claims promptly besides
conducting the annual valuation of the pension funds and for appropriate review of the
pensionary benefits. In order to achieve the desired objective, Organisation has taken
effective steps to collect the details of the members and their family afresh and capturing all
such updated details through computerized programme for keeping the database on line for
utilization. In the process, all the field offices have printed and supplied Form 2 (revised) to
all the members through their establishment concerned. A systematic monitoring is being
done at various offices and also at the Headquarters level at fortnightly intervals so as to
. ensure collection of Form-2, capturing in computerized programme the details and creating
an effective database of the members and their families in the system. Performance position
as on 31.03.2001 in this regard in terms of percentage of contributing members is given
below:

Keeping in view the importance cf the database creation and maintaining error-free
data. it was felt necessary that an ongoing system arrangement has to be put in place in
every field office to take care of the said requirement Accordingly. instructions have been
issued to all the Offices to constitute a Database Creation Cell and regulate the work of
Database Creation in respect of existing members as well as for the fresh members. The
Database Creation Cell has been constituted in all the field oifices and started functioning to
coordinate. monitor and expedite the work.

were filed in various High Courts by certain Trade Unions. So far three High Courts namely
High Court of Madras, Karnataka and Kerala have disposed off these writ petitions upholding
the validity and legal vires of the Pension Scheme. However, on an interim order of 'Status
Quo' passed by a division bench. of Calcutta High Court. Government of India has filed a
SLP against the High Court in 1997 before the Supreme Court. Also all pending cases from
various High Courts have been transferred to Supreme Court for final disposal. The Apex'
Court through an interim order and without prejudice to the contentions taken by the
contesting parties permitted continuity of benefit admissibility under the new Pension
Scheme of 1995 and compliance by the employers either under the new scheme or the old
scheme of 1971 in accordance with the choice of the member concerned and subject to the
final decision of the Court. Hearing in the aforesaid SLP alongwith other transfer petitions

the Supreme Court on 11.04.2001, 17.04.2001, 24.04.2001, and 25.04.2001 and hearing
concluded on 01.05.2001. The judgment is awaited.
EXEMPTION
Any establishment or class of establishments may be granted exemption from the
operation of the EPS 1995 by the appropriate Government if the Pension Scheme of the
establishment provides pensionary benefits either at par or more favourable than the
benefits available under the EPS 1995. Though a considerable number of establishments
are seeking exemption it is observed that many of the proposals are neither comparable nor
submitted with prescribed supporting documents and certificates. Major deficiencies noticed
are mostly as under:
• Establishment's Pension Scheme does not cover all categories of employees.
• Prescribed pattern of investment not followed.
• Trust Rules and Deed are not as per statutory provisions.
• No provisions for annual valuation in the Pension Fund.
• Income Tax recognition in certificate not obtained.
• Actuarial Certificate by an independent qualified Actuary not furnished.
• Provision for retention of membership and risk coverage on leaving employment
not available.
• No undertaking by the establishment that benefits not lesser than EPS 95 will be
ensured to members of the exempted pension scheme.
• Certain establishment Pension Scheme debars pensionary entitlement to the
categories of employees dismissedlremoved from establishment.
• Superannuation age is higher than 58 years in certain pension scheme.
• All the statutory benefit parameters provided in the EPS 95 have not been
provided in certain pension schemes of the establishments.
So far only two establishments viz. Mls TELCO Ltd. (Maharashtra) and Mls Malaysia
Airlines, Chennai were granted exemption. 30 proposals were rejected by the Govt. for the
reason that these were deficient.
PENSION SOFTWARE - Computerised Employees' Pension System
Pension software 'CEPS' package was conceptualized in total 8 sub-programmes.
Seven Sub-programmes have bean developed by NIC. The 8 th Sub-programme relating to
valuation has been got done through Actuary. In order to have uniformity in operational
areas in regard to implementation of Employees' Pension Scheme, 1995, software
developed by NIC is being used uniformally in all the offices for capturing the details for
members and their families, existing pensioners, calculation of pension, generation of PPO,
release of pension scroll on month to month basis, bank reconciliation with reference to
pensioners and pension payments, MIS reports etc.

of administrative charges and Inspection charges at the prescribed rate from the employers
of un-exempted and exempted establishments respectively. Para 38 and 39 of the
Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 1952 stipulates that the employer of the
establishments complying with the Employees' Provident Funds Scheme, 1952 as an unexempted
establishment should pay administrative charges. Section 17(3) of the Act
stipulates the payment of Inspection charges by the exempted establishments every month.
Taking into account the resources of the Fund and meeting the expenditure for
running the Schemes, the Central Board of Trustees, EPF recommend a rate that may be
levied as administrative/Inspection charges from the employer. On the recommendation of
the Central Board the rate of administrative charges and inspection charges are fixed by the
Central Government and notified in the Gazette.

CHAPTER
IX
COMPLIANCE - 2001
COMPUTERISED VERIFICATION OF ESTABLISHMENTS & MEMBERS
Over many years, as a matter of routine, the establishments were being brought
within the fold of the Act and members were reported as enrolled. However, the system did
not provide for any mechanism to ensure that on the one hand all establishments brought
within the fold of the Act started reporiiuq compliance and on the other hand the workers
identified at the time of the coverage started getting the benefit of the contributions and its
ultimate credit into their individual accounts.
The above systemic flaw, which had embedded
had a cancerous
into the system over many decades,
effect on the very basic objective of extending the social security cover to
the target population. To put an end to this malady and to rectify the systemic defect, the
Organisation first undertook a diagnostic exercise to identify the quantum of such
establishments and also the sutccrlbers who stood denied with the benefits through a
computerized audit.
Exercise undertook at headquarters to get the factual position on statistical data of
number of establishments covered under the Act and members enrolled with help of an in
house developed System Assisted Membership Audit Software. All the establishments
covered and members serviced has been categorized on the following basis:
• Operative Establishments- Establishments having at least one member with
balances in his account
".
• Inoperative Establishments- Establishments which have no connected records for
members in the members master database in the computer system or
establishments which do not have even a single member with any balance in his
account
• Active Members- Members having some balance in their account and in whose
case contributions have been received at least once in the last three years
• Inactive Members- Members having some balance in their accounts but in whose
case no' contribution has been received during the last three year
• .Non Existing Members- Members in whose respect no records are available in the
member master file viz. those members in whose case no contribution has ever been
received
101

The software classified the establishments
& members into following three categories:
Category I This category included un-exempted inoperative establishments with no
membership or with membership without any amount credited in any of the
member's accounts.
Category 11 This cateqory included oper=tive establishments with membership and
accumulation in the member's accounts, but where annual accounts have not
progressed beyond 1995-96.
Category III This category includes operative establishments where annual accounts at
progressed beyond 1995-96.
The computerized verification revealed that nearly 48% of the total reported
establishments were not complying for over tmee year check period. Similarly, in 38% of the
reported subscriber figures neither the details of subscribers were available nor action to
credit contribution into the individual subscriber account and interest thereon taken place.
The exercise carried out by the EPF Organization for the first time to identify and
quantify the deficiencies was considered by the Central Board of Trustees, EPF. With the
mandate of the Central Board of Trustees to rectify the situation and to bring back ti;e
system into rail, 'compliance 2001 programme' was launched with a serieB of actions.
COMPLIANCE 2001 PROGRAMME - SECURING COMPLIANCE
Objective
Employees' Provident Fund Organisation mounted Compliance 2001 programme
during the year 2000-2001 to set the house in order. The main objective of the programme
was to ensure that:
~ what is claimed as covered establishments become covered establishments.
• what is claimed as members become contributing members 'and in their accounts
contribution & interest gets credited and individual account slips gets issued in
fulfillment of the statutory obligation.
Strategy
To achieve the above objective the compliance (enforcement) wings of the field
offices has been reoriented and restructured. All enforcement functions have been
consolidated at the level of a Circle Officer (Assistant PF Commissioner) with appropriate
~omplement of Enforcement Officers and support staff in each circle. Targets have been
fixed for each Circle Officer in areas of revenue recovery, detection of default, disposal of 7A
cases and in enforcing compliance against the non-complying establishments. The purpose
was to coordinate, focus and channelise the entire enforcement machinery and effort on
delinquent employers so that members who are or claimed to be their employees are given
the benefits under the Schemes as per their rights.
102

\'I"xk distribution system in the compliance function area was restructur=t.
streamlined and the concept of area inspectors abolished. The primary objective being to
focus on all non-complying establishments with proper accountability. A computer software
was developed to cull out the progress achieved in converting an establishment from noncomplying
to a complying level and at the same lime ensuring credit of money into the
subscriber account.
MONITORING UNDER COMPLIANCE 2001
System Based Monitoring
System
New software was developed called !nc~~~2.!!\: ~,::~?_f:'li'3hmpnt~ Mnnitnrin0 System
(IEMS) to monitor the performance of each office on a month-to-month basis. As part of this
initiative, all routine inspections of establishments were stopped and all the offices were
directed to deploy the Enforcement Officers only in securing compliance in respect of these
establishments.
Other Initiatives
Simultaneously,
a number of other initiatives were also taken to create a facilitating
environment and to encourage a pro compliance choice by the employers. As part of these
initiatives in each office a number of circles were formed headed by an Assistant PF
Commissioner level officer. Each such compliance circles were orqanized on specific
geographical location-wise. Assistant PF Commissioners were assigned to each compliance
circle. Instructions were given to the effect that all assessments under Section 7A were to
be carried out only by Assistant PF Commissioners, expect in the case of extremely
complicated cases where the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (In-charge of the
region) would specifically authorise an RPFC-II level officer to conduct an inquiry under
Section 7A. Targets were prescribed for completion of assessments and recovery of current
and arrear demands. The performance of each assessing officer in the area of assessment
of dues and also recovery of current dues on a month-to-month basis -were monitored
centrally in headquarters against the set targets.
The procedure for allotment of code numbers were streamlined and strict instructions
were issued to allot code number within 3 days of receipt of the application in each office.
An escalation plan was also put in place which prevented the Assistant PF Commissioners
from issuing code number if he could not take a decision within 3 days, the papers will have
to be disposed off by RPFC-II within the next 3 days and if he could not decide the matter
within 3 days. On such an event the papers were to be disposed within the next 3 days by
RPFC,.in-charge of the Region failing which the papers were to be finally disposed off by the
Additional CPFC. Wide publicity was also given to this new initiative as "Compliance 2001
Programme".
At the end of the financial year, new software was also developed known as
Computerised Compliance Tracking System (CCTS). The software would detect default
committed by employers on a month-to-month basis and also generate letters to the
103

employers. The software was designed to routinely and promptly detect default and to bring
down the meantime between commitment of default and its discovery and reporting by the
field officers. The implementation of CCTS and IEMS Programme is being close!y monitored
by the Headquarters.

Under the 'Compliance 2001 Programme', the Organisation has devised systems
and taken a series of actions to reduce the lead time between the occurrence of default and
its recovery. Tu this extent the complete revamping of the 'Compliance Machinery' carried
out. Specially designed computer software implemented in field offices, which enabled
identification of the occurrence of default and initiation of assessment process. As a
consequence of the actions taken, fresh demand raised through assessment proceedings
have gone up, as could be seen from the chart from 1998-1999 to the subsequent year.
Action was also taken to ensure collection of assessed amount and accounting of the same
upto the stage of credit into the individual subscriber account. The chart below also
indicates the amount recovered.

highest number of assessments were made and fresh demand raised to the tune of
RS.2,034.23 crores as compared to a mere fresh assessments of Rs. 459.19 crores during
the earlier two years.
Similarly action taken to recover the assessed arrears also registered a tremendous
increase as it would be noted that during the two years period 97-98 and 98-99, the recovery
was only Rs. 352.57 crores whereas the combined collections during the last two financial
years was a staggering 1,423.31 crores. An increase by 303.70% during the two-year
period.

CHAPTER XII
INFORMATION SERVICES
Having surmounted the challenge posed by the Year 2000 problem in the preceding
year the lntorrnation S:rvices division embarked on some path breaking initiatives with the
development and introduction of several specialized software tools to carry out an
organisation wide comprehensive and detailed membership audit, monitoring of the progress
achieved in securing compliance from establishments and the tracking of compliance
position of establishments. The Information Services division was strengthened with the
creation of new posts to gear itself for the IT reforms initiative under the Re-inventing, EPF,
India Project.
PRESENT STATUS
With humble beginnings in the year 1989 when 2 EDP centres were commissioned
the organisation has arrived at a position where all the functional offices at present have an
EDP centre. With the increase in the number of EDP centres and the growth in terms of
membership and functional areas under computerization, the requirements of the centers
had also grown and the demands have been met from time to time. The number of computer
systems and peripherals with different stages et technology of the hardware in the
organisation is given below:

SOFTWARE
During the initial period of computerisation the entire thrust of the effort was towards the
liquidation of backlog in the issuance of annual accounts slips for the members. Eventually,
over a period of time software for other functional areas have been introduced. The software
that are currently being used under full production environment across all the centers are:
Computerized Annual Accounts Preparing System (CAPS)/Computerized Accounts
Monthly Posting System '95 (CAMPS 95):
This software, which was the first to be introduced in the Organization, handles the
accounting of remittances made in respect of members. This software is used for the
following purposes -
• Calculation and credit of Interest on opening balances/monthly runruuq
balances of members
• Generation of annual accounts slip for members
• Consolidated accounts statement for every establishment
• Debit statements for Interest suspense account
Computerized Receipt Accounting System (CRAS):
This software is used for accounting the receipts received from the establishrncntc
under the five account heads and serves the following purposes:
• Generation 0f schedule of receipts
• Preparation of receipt side cash book
Computerized Payment Accounting System (CPAS):
This software is used for registering the receipt of claims and the payments made in
respect of these under different account heads. It also monitors the disposal status of the
claims received. The functions served by this software are:
• Registration of claims
• Generation of payment side cash book
• Claim status monitoring
Computerized Employees' Pension Scheme (CEPS):
This software addresses all the functional areas in the implementation of the
Employees' Pension Scheme 1995:
• Members database with family/nominee details
• Pension claims processing
• Preparation of Pension Payment Order and Scheme Certificate
• Database of pensioners and scheme certificate holders
• Monthly pension payments and re-conciliation
• Actuarial validation of pension data
115

Other software being used extensively includes pay software and Members
Grievance Handling Software. Local initiative has also been taken by some of the offices and
software has been developed to address those functions that have not been included in the
major software under production run. These initiatives have resulted in software for
preparation of payment scrolls, printing of cheques and letters of intimation for members.
These software are being used in many of the offices.
SOFTWARE
INITIATIVES
During the current year the IS division focused its attention to some of the most
emergent issues before the organization
and came up with solutions to address them.
System Assisted Membership
Audit Software:
Doubts were being expressed on the membership figures being reported by the
organisation at various forums. The reporting method being followed by the Organization
had largely been manual and prone to errors. In this context it was desired that an objective
and scientific tool be devised and made available that would make it possible to assess the
true picture as far as the membership figures were concerned. It was in the light of the
foregoing .that a software was conceived and developed which would arrive at the
membership figures from the members' database available under the annual accounts
software. An elaborate exercise was mounted for this purpose. The establishment and
members' master database files under the annual accounts software was collected from all
the field offices for processing at headquarters level. The audit software developed had an
algorithm which recursively went into the members' database files to arrive at the correct
membership figures. The software classified the establishment and membership into three
categories:
Category I - This category included un-exempted inoperative establishments with no
membership or with membership without any amount credited in any of the
member's accounts.
Category 11 - This category included operative establishments with membership and
accumulation in the member's accounts, but where annual accounts have
not progressed beyond 1995-96.
Category III - This category includes operative establishments where annual accounts at
progressed beyond 1995-9.6.
On the basis of the results an exercise was taken to clean up the master
databases and arrive at the factual figures of establishments and membership. It also
resulted in launching an organization wide effort to update accounts of members and secure
compliance from establishments
Inoperative Establishment Monitoring Systems (IEMS):
The scenario presented by the membership audit conducted centrally necessitated
that certain exemplary steps be taken to arrest the slide in performance variables for the
organisation. A target was fixed for all the offices to ensure 80% progress in compliance of
116

Category - I & Category - 11 establishments by the end of the year. The definition of
compliance encompassed both securing compliance from establishments and updating the
accounts thereafter. In order to monitor the progress achieved by different regions the IEMS
software was developed. This software worked on the base figures provided by the
membership audit software and compare the progress achieved by the regions against this.
The data c: the mernbership audit software was kept centrally at the office headquarters and
an operative module of the software was provided for installation in the systems at the field
office level. The field office IEMS Module would be run at the end of each month and it
would recursively go down into the establishment and members' master database and
record the progress achieved by the concerned office. The out put file of this module was
then sent to headquarters by the offices where it was processed and the progress achieved
measured against the base figures available for the beginning of the year. This software and
the monitoring process, which had been established, provided convenient tool for the field
level managers to manage and apply resources scientifically to achieve the designed goals.
It is pertinent that this tool resulted in the discovery and clearance of hidden pendencies in
the issuances of annual accounts slips for members and ensured that the accounts for a
large number of establishments were updated.
Computerized Compliance Tracking System (CCTS):
The need for an IT driven compliance system had been felt for sometime. The
existing system of ensuring compliance was largely based on manual inputs and involved
front-end street level work which was proving to be expensive both for the department and
the employer. To address this problem it was essential to have a two-pronged strategy
involving the installation of a facilitating environment to encourage voluntary compliance and
put in place information driven selectivity criteria for effective front end enforcement action.
One of the major impediments in the detection of compliance had been the lack of timely
information regarding default. Even after the detection of default the process of assessing
and recovery of dues WAre not smooth. The CCTS software was devised to address these
concerns. It was initially a software to automate the DCBR and aid the reconciliation
process. As this software had the functionality of feeding the monthly return of Form 12A
received from establishments, it could be transformed in to an effective compliance tracking
system. The software in effect takes the dues' figure from the monthly return submitted by
the employer and compares it against the remittances made by them. It is capable of
detecting defaults related to non-payment of dues or non-submission of returns or a
combination of both. The software generates default notices for the establishments and also
calculates the dues and damages as well as the interest payable under section 7Q of the "
Act. It also ensures that the DCBR entries of the establishments are prepared automatically
on the basis. of the dues and the receipts thereby facilitating the task of reconciliation and
audit of the consolidated establishment accounts.
STEPS TAKEN TO IMPLEMENT
LE.M.S.lC.C.T.S
To. ensure that I.E.M.S'/C.C.T.S. software are operationalised effectively in all the
field offices, eight work shops have been conducted on Zonal basis as indicated below: -
i} At Kolkata in September 2000 and February 2001 for East Zone.
117

ii) At Ahmedabad in November 2000 and at Ujjain in February 2001 for West Zone.
iii) At Chennai in October 2000 and at Hyderabad in February 2001 for South Zone.
iv) At NATRSS, New Delhi in October, 2000 and February, 2001 for North Zone.
These workshops were attended not only by the officers of the level of RPFC/APFCs
responsible for compliance action but also the EDP staff responsible for running the software
packages. At each workshop, feed back on both the software> packaqes were> taken &
compiled for necessary enhancements at the headquarters office.
Further, the concepts and the operational intricacies of the two software packages were
also discussed at the Zonal Conferences of Regional Provident Fund Commissioner (F&A)
held at Bhubneshwar in November 2000 and at Bhopal & Jaipur in December 2000.
RESULTS OF I. E. M. SOFTWARE/C.
C. T. SOFTWARE
I. E. M. SOFTWARE
The relentless drive on the part of the field offices under I.E.M.S. software has yielded
very positive and significant results in securing compliance and liquidation of pending annual.
accounts.The All India Figures of the prugress achieved under I.E.M.S. software for the
period ending 31 st March, 2001 are as follows:

The above progress represents, the updation of pending annual accounts for
approximately three consecutive accounting years on average basis and in absolute terms
resulted in updation and issuance of 1.15 crores annual account slips.
C. C. T. SOFTWARE
The implementation of C.C.T.S. in field olfices was slightly slow in initial months.
However, as a result of the thorough discussions in the eight zonal conferences, the field
offices were getting familiarised the operational aspects of the software, and the C.C.T.S.
was getting stabilized by March 2001.
DELEGATION OF POWERS FOR AWARDING ANNUAL MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS
The responsibility of ensuring smooth and uninterrupted functioning of the EDP
Centres had been cast on the Regional Commissioners in charge of the regions in respect of
the offices under their jurisdiction. The process of awarding annual maintenance contract for
the computer systems and peripherals involved forwarding of the proposals to the
headquarters for vetting and approval. Realizing that this process was causing undesirable
delays which resulted in unacceptable down time for the systems and peripherals, it was
decided to delegate the powers to the Regional Commissioners in charge of the regions to
appoint agencies for the annual maintenance contract of the Systems and Peripherals. For
118

maintenance contract was circulated among the offices. The Regional Commissioners had
been given the leeway to make appropriate changes to these documents depending on the

CHAPTER XVI
MANAGEMENT
INFORMATION SYSTEM
INFORMATION MANAGEMEN f
In Employees' Provident Fund Organisation a need was felt for the development of
Manaqernent Information System and data bank for administering the organisation, which
would also provide a major source for meeting the information, needs of the Ministry of
Labour.
1 he statistical information cotlecte.: from various sources of any Organisation is
required by the rnanaqsrnant for decision making. As such, MIS is a vital thing in the
Organisation. The information furnished in the MIS leads to the effective and judicial
decision taken by the top management of the organisation. The MIS information's are called
out from the registers maintained at the field formation viz. regional offices and sub-regional
offices etc.
To facilitate managerial control and improve organisational effectiveness at the subregional,
regional and headquarter level. t~,a system developed would cover information
reporting on position and analysis of arrears, service to subscribers, matters relating to
administration etc. At the same time the MIS, which is developed, takes into account
information needs for effective management of important interfaces like Government
authorities, State Bank of India/Reserve Bank of India etc. that impinge upon the operational
efficacy of headquarters of Employees' Provident Fund Organisation.
While creating a data bank at Headquarters covering information such as profile of
subscribers, establishments, investments etc. has been included. The data bank provides
information for analysis of operations of various schemes by different sectors/interest groups
etc. and for taking strategic planning and policy decision.
During generation of primary data, its authentication at source, if necessary, through
a system of internal checks have been incorporated. Reporting formats, frequency
relationships, terms used and analysis desired has been taken care. Where feasible,
information collection has been made dynamic to enable indication of trend over time. "
PERFORMANCE
ANAL VSIS
The information flow from the Regional Office to the Headquarters constitutes a
major link between the operations in the respective regions and their control by the top
management of the Organisation.
At present, the Regional Offices are required to submit periodical MIS returns to the
headquarters, most of them being sent on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Regional Offices
also furnish returns to the Headquarters for the purpose of budget preparation. The formats
124

to be used for this exercise have been prescribed by the Budget Section in ~~c Headquarters
and the information is provided annually. The areas covered include apart from estimates
for the forthcoming year, actual of contributions, administration and inspection charges,
penal damages, revenue and capital expenditure under various accounting heads, repayable
loans and advances payable etc. for the previous year and the first four months of the
ongoing year.

MODERNISATION PLAN - RE -INVENTING EPF INDIA
HIGH IMPACT AGENCY OF GOVERNMENT,
EPF SHARE & GROWTH
The EPF Organisation recognizes itself as a High Impact Agency of the Central
Government. Its 2.63 crore members taken with their families add up to about 10 crore
citizens. Consequently, EPF accepts that the quality, content and efficiency of its programs
and service will make a significant and visible difference to the public face of Government as
a whole in the eyes of citizens. Further the 3.4 lakh businesses and or other institutions
within the compliance crucible of EPF influence public opinion through media and other
forum in a manner, which far outstrips their actual numbers.
STRATEGY - SHORT !INTERMEDIATE
TERM
The Orqanisatlon strategy to over come the problems are of two levels. One, the
short term and second the intermediate term.
Short Term
Series of actions covering the short term strategy areas have been put in to practice with
appropriate monitoring mechanism. Performance achieved in securing compliance from
establishments which failed to comply with law for over 3 years and crediting interest to over
4U lakh subscribers who never received any annual statement of accounts for over 3 years is
a testimony of the efforts put in by the Organisation in re-vamping the entire compliance
machinery and ensuring credit of the amount to the subscriber account. Similarly, in the
direction of reducing the lead-time between the occurrence of default and its detection and
final assessment, all time high fresh demands raised followed by record recovery.
Organisation's
thrust in the short term is to:
• Ensure that compliance is secured from all establishments, which have been
reported as covered.
• Ensure credit of amount collected into each subscriber account with upto date "
interest.
• Ensure through available software support speedy service to the subscriber
member.
Intermediate Term
In the strategy for approaching
core objective, the organisation will:
the issue in the next two years term and to meet the
126
"

• Reengineer the existing process, eliminate the existing redundancies in the process
and
• Setup a system that reduces turn around time between the receipt of a claim and
issue of a cheque to 2-3 days.
• Reduce compliance and representation cost for employer and promote voluntary
compliance.
ORGANISATIONAL
GOALS
The Organisation have identified three basic policy goals. These are:
• To establish a turn around time of 2-3 days between the receipt of claim and the
issue of a cheque.
• 1·0 establish an Information led system of responsible enforcement. This will focus
on:
improving voluntary compliance and checking non-reporting and under
reporting of employment strength and
reducing compliance/representetlon costs for the employer.
• To establish an adequate Information System benchmarked against best global
practices for Bookkeeping and Accounting.
MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TECHNICAL COMMITTEE
The Executive Committee of CBT (EPF) set-up a Multi-Disciplinary Expert Committee
with the tollowmq experts in area of Information Technology and Business Process Reengineering:

Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space (IT Expert).
(ii) Or. Gulshan Rai, Sr. Director, Ministry of Information Technology (IT Expert).
(iii) Prof. J. C. Kapoor, Indian Institute of Public Administration (BPR Expert)
In addition to the above, domain experts in area of Pension, Compliance, PF claims,
Finance & Accounts from EPFO were also on this Committee to assist the Expert Committee
to layout a Roadmap for implementation of the IT Reforms in EPFO in order to enable it to
meets- its medium/long term goals. It may be mentioned that both Or. N. Raniani and Or.
Gulshan Rai are in the grade of Joint Secretary to the Government of India and both have "
vast experience in sarvlnq on numerous Ccrnmittecs and Advisory Bodies of the
Government at the highest level. It would be pertinent to mention that for enlisting the expert
services of Dr.Gulshan Rai and Dr.Ramani communications were issued by Secretary
(Labour) to the Secretary, Ministry of IT and Secretary, Department of Space respectively.
The Multi-Disciplinary Technical Committee (MDTC) through a process of
workshops, deliberations as well as study of the work environment and the stage of
computerization in the EPFO prepared a Roadmap for the roll out of the IT Reforms with
delay set out business objectives, the strategy for meeting the objectives and the time frame
for achie4ving short term and medium term milestones. The recommendations of the MDTC
127

was approved by the Executive Committee of the Central Board of trustees in its meeting on
14.03.2000.
The MOTC also recommended
for:
• Setting up of a Sub-Committee of the CBT for over-seeinq.the ~IT Reform? and for
processing approvals and sanctions on behalf of the Board; and
• Initiating the process for appointment of a suitable consultant with strengths in
business process re-engineering, accountancy and software development.
The Executive Committee in its 33 rd meeting as per the recommendations of the
MDTC approved the formation of a Sub-Committee for overseeing the entire procurement
and implementation process. Secretary (Labour) and Chairman, Executive Committee, CBT
(EPF) constituted the Sub-Committee on 18 th April 2000 for overseeing the entire
procurement and implementation process with the following members:-
(i) Shri A. Venkatram, Member, CBT.

The IT SUb-Committee enlisted Or. S.P.Rastogi, Senior Oirector (NIC) as a eo-opted
member.
The second recommendation of the MOTC for identification and appointment of a
Consultant was also initiated. A comprehensive tender document was prepared and
approved by the Sub Committee on a" June 2000. The tender document was also placed
before the Executive Committee meeting held on 21 st August 2000 and approved. As per
rules laid down by the Government and the Central Vigilance Commission, a two part tender
procedure was followed.
Parties were to be invited to submit tenders in terms of the scope
of the contract in two separate sealed covers, one containing the technical
bid and the other
containing the price oid. It was decided that the price bids of only the technically cleared
parties would be opened. The tender document required not more than three parties to be
finally selected through technical
evaluation.
Against the pre-qualification call, 2? parties purchased the tender document at Rs.
5,000/- per document. Out of these, by the due date i.e. so" September 2000, 13 parties
submitted technical bids and price bids.
The MDTC has gone through the process of evaluation of technical bids. In first
stage of evaluation, six out of the thirteen parties were eliminated as not fulfilling the
requfrements of the contract from the technical angle.
The remaining seven parties were evaluated by the MOTC through the second stage
of processing and evaluation. The MOTC submitted a comprehensive and detailed report
and recommendations on 04.02.2001. The IT SUb-Committee held its meeting on 1 st March
2001 and deliberated on the Report and Recommendations of MDTC short listing the

THRUST AREA AND BUSINESS
DESIGN
Thrust area and business design envisaged by the Organisation during the next 2
years will:
Enable the Member to:
• Walk into any of the 279 EPF offices in the country, insert a unique identity smart
card i.e. social security card into a kiosk and read his account balance on the screen.
• By paying a small fee (Rs. 5) and inserting a coin into the kiosk, he will be able to get "
a print out of his PF account balance for the last completed month.
• The subscriber will be able to file any claim for early withdrawal from the account or
for final settlement at any of the 279 offices across the country regar

• Change of jobs and/or location will not involve any transfer of account from the
previous office or employer and the subscriber's account will be accessible from any
of the EPF offices across the country. This will eliminate all transfer delays.
• EPFO will maintain a subscriber-wise individual running ledger account in real time
that v'ill credit interest on monthly balance for each month.
• Regardless of who the employer is or where the worker is wnrkinQ inciuding the
highly mobile migratory construction workers, the individual running ledger account of
each worker carrying the unique identity number (SSN) will remain constant and
accessible to such worker/member from any location or EPF kiosk.
• Eventually EPF will extend the facility of EPF kiosks to other public places and to
locations within or close to industrial estates and/or where there is concentration of
mnrnharx to nrovide the facilitv any time. any place.
• The EPF will provide for electronic filing of claims of members througn employers in
order to cut down the cost and improve service and convenience for subscribers.
Enable the Employer
to:
• Electronically file the monthly return with particulars of employee-wise contribution.
• The number of returns to be f;;ed in a year will be reduced to 12 from the present 48.
• The process of receipt of contributions and confirmation of contributions by
employers/banks will be integrated and computerised in order to eliminate missing

business number in order to comply with the iaw without reference to EPF.
• EPF will give every employer a unique business number which will be integrated with
the Permanent Account Number issued by the Income Tax Department. This will be
a significant step towards a regime where businesses and trade in the country use a
common business number for economic transactions as is the norm in developed
economies.
• Voluntary compliance will be the norm and enforcement action will become the
exception. EPF will consistently and consciously move to a regime that encourages
and facilitates trust and voluntary compliance and that seeks to put in place systems
and processes that continually reduce the representation and compliance cost for
law-abiding employers.
• EPF will identify and give recognition to model employers and put in place systems ~
that give fast track service within the Organisation to such recognized model
employers and their employees.

of employment strength and contributions and will seek to encourage migration from
delinquent categories to the compliance mainstream.
131

relationship in dealings wit~1EPF with the creation and strengthening of IT 2 'ted
institutional systems.

service, the plan 'Reinventing EPF India' seeks to leverage the power of IT and
related emerging technologies to create a compelling and forceful compliance
environment that is entirely information driven.
• Capacity to identify, collect and process information from third party sources will be
enhanced. These will include such sources as departments and agencies in
Government, public sector and private sector in relation to any economic transaction
that involves employment and workers.
• All potential cases identified through the processing of third party information will be
asked to comply and enroll their workers.
• Computer-assisted system will habitually detect and flag every case of default and
delinquency every month and kick in action for recovery of contributions along with
interest and penalty.
• Cost of withholding PF monies will increase in relation to the cost of borrowing
money from the bank or in the market. This will seek to create an environment that
makes it cheaper to comply and expensive to under report or non-report emp!oyment
and contributions in a timely manner.
• Separate collection program will be designed and put in place that will address the
issue of coliection of unpaid arrears. The program will be entirely IT driven drawing
information from the accounting function. Special teams in designated EPF call
centers that will chase all delinquent accounts on a day-to-day basis.
• Special programs for extending the reach of EPF schemes over the informal sector,
migrant labour and service industry will be put in place to ensure enrolment and
transfer of benefits under the programs to such categories of workers.

his/her task on his/her desktop terminals.
• Retooled book-keeping & accounting function will maintain reconciled upto-date
accounts in real time on a secure and shared database that will support and be
accessible to all program divisions.
• Record keeping and paper management will be organised along modern lines with IT
enabled indexing for archiving and retrieval. This effort will also decongest EPF work
,places and improve the physical environment.
• Special HRD effort will enhance the knowledge and skill levels of our existing officers
& staff to help them adjust and absorb change in work methods.

CHAPTER xy.,VI
TRAINING
Training is an essential component in the overall strategy of efficient and cost
effective service. The need for training of personnel to face the new and emerging task of
planning and development and achievement of socio economic objectives has been
emphasized in successive Five Years Plans. The training sector has been given a new
impetus and focus during the last five years and the emphasis has been to evolve a new
administrative set up with emphasis on competence, commitment and performance. The
Estimates Committee also in its 78 th Report presented to Lok Sabha on 25-04-89 had
observed, "Training is a strong motivating force and the most important aspects of
motivation is the perspective that the Organisation provides an opportunity for
individual development." The Committee emphasized the importance of systematic
training and suggested that the Organisation should undertake systematic and purposeful
training to all officers in the Department, as this will go a long way in toning up the
employees and improving their application to work to the benefit of both employees and
Organisation.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation having recognized the need for training
its personnel so as to provide trouble free service to its members, set up an Apex Institution
namely, the National Academy for Training & Research in Social Security at New Delhi in
October, 1990. Till March 1992 it was operating from the Headquarters of the Employees'
Provident Fund Organisation. The National Academy, was however, shifted to hired
premises in April, 1992. The National Academy is now functioning from its own building at
30-31, Instituiional Area, Janak Puri, New Delhi.
The National Acaderny for Training & Research in Social Security has a two-tier
structure. The Apex Institute is situated at New Delhi which caters to the needs of Human
Resource Development of Group 'A' officers as well as undertaking research and
development activities. The second tier consists of Zonal Training Institutes which carry out
similar functions at the Zonal levels for field formations of the Organisation. There are at
present four Zonal Training Institutes under the administrative control of National Academy
as under:
Zonal Training Institute, North Zone at Faridabad covering Haryana, Punjab, -,
Himachal Pradesh, Union Territory of Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi
Region and Headquarters.
Zonal Training Institute, South Zone at Chennai covering Tamil Nadu and
Pondicherry,
Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh Regions.
Zonal Training Institute, East Zone at Calcutta covering North-Eastern
Region, Bihar, West Bengal and Andaman Nicobar Islands and Orissa
Regions.
149

Zonal Training Institute, West Zone at Ujjain (shifted from Ahmedabad as it was not a
central place for West Zone) covering Maharashtra and Goa, Gujarat, Madhy»
Pradesh and Rajasthan Regions.
Apart from above, Sub-Zonal Training Institute, East Zone at Shillong has been set
up to mitigate the difficulties
of staff working in North Eastern States.
National Academy covers the functioning of the Zonal Training Institutes and is
responsible for training in-put and support to the management cadre in the Organisation.
National Academy also invites participants from other sister Organizations viz.:
Coal Mines Provident Fund;
Empioyees' State Insurance Corporation;
Assam Tea Plantations Provident Fund;
Seamen's Provident Fund; and
Jammu and Kashmir Provident Fund.
The National Academy also conducts International Training Programmes for officers
from other developing countries. It has already conducted four International Programmes for
officers from Afghanistan, Nigeria, Tanzania and Nepal. National Academy is also
contemplating to hold seminars for participants from other developing countries in the Asia-
Pacific Region in consultation with International Social Security Association.
The Training Wing at the National Academy as well as at Zonal Training Institutes coordinates
the designing and mounting of training courses as a uniform basis for personnel in
the Organisation in different cadres i.e., at the management, supervisory and operative
levels.
It is intended that all personnel, at appropriate points of time, wouldbe given necessary
training exposure through Induction Courses, in-service courses and specialized
courses/workshops in order to upgrade their professionalism and skills in discharging their
functions in the field. Since the Organisation has undertaken modernization of its operations
by introduction of computer support, training wings in the National Academy as well Zonal
Institutes would have the necessary hands-on training facility for personnel at different level
in the use and management of computer facilities. Such facilities are at present available at
National Academy and Zonal Training Institute, South Zone at Chennai.
The Building of the National Academy at Janak Puri, New Delhi is a self-contained
training institute with excellent hostel facilities. The infrastructural facilities are being
developed comparable to the best training institutes in the country. Three training
progra.mmes can run simultaneously therein after it is fully furnished and equipped. Zonal
Training Institute, South Zone at Chennai has started functioning from its own campus. It
has capacity of running two training programmes Simultaneously. The construction of the
building of Zonal Training Institute, East Zone at Calcutta is in final stage. The construction
work of Zonal Training Institutes, West Zone and North Zone is at various stages.

CHAPTER XXVII
VIGILANCE
Corruption seems to be an unending phenomenon and there is no single remedy to
end corruption. Constant vigilar.::::e is the only way to curb the menace of corruption.
Vigilance includes identifying persons indulging in corrupt practices as well and areas where
corruption takes place or is likely to take place. As the Employees' Provident Fund
Organisation deals with employees as well as employers of various establishments, there is
every possibility of doing favoritism or anything leading to corruption. The nature and
function of the organisation thus calls for constant vigil and surveillance at all levels.
Therefore, there is a great need of evolving and maintaining an effective system to arrest
corruption and such other malpractices. This puts an onerous responsibility on the vigilance
division of the organisation.
The vigilance machinery of Employees' Provident Fund Organisation was created by
the Central Board of Trustees in its ss" Meeting held on 31.1.1976 with one post of Director
(Vigilance) and three posts of Deputy Directors (Vigilance) supported by one Vigilance
Officer and one Vigilance Assistant each for Headquarters and Zonal Vigilance Directorates.
Subsequently the set-up was strengthened with some adciticnal posts vide Executive
Committee Meeting held on 6.12.1990. As the Organisation has grown up many folds since
its inception a need was strongiy felt to strengthen the vigilance division further to cope up
with the increase in quantum of work and responsibilities. Therefore, the vigilance division
was further strengthened vide a decision taken in the 21 st Meeting of the Executive
Committee held on 3.12.96. Later, the post of Vigilance Officer was also upgraded to the
level of Assistant Director so as to secure the services of experienced persons and also to
undertake field investigation effectively. The present set-up of the vigilance division is as
below:

COMPLAINTS
During the year, 216 complaints
were received as compared to 241 in the preceding
year. Out of total 348 complaints (Opening balance 132 + 216 complaints received during
the year), 267 complaints have beet I disposed off during the year leaving behind a closing
balance of 81 complaints.
The shortfall in receipt of complaints during the year under report
in comparison to the receipt of previous years is due to non-registration of anonymous and
pseudonymous complaints in accordance with instructions of Central Vigilance Commission.
Out of 267 complaints investigated, in 84 cases, penal actions against the erring officials
have been recommended. In 66 cases, corrective rneasures/admlnistrative actions have
been recommended. Apart from complaints, a number of grievances have also been
received. Such cases have been f0n.A.'?r0~rl t() thA rA~!lAr.tivp. Regional Provident Fund
Commissioners for taking appropriate action under intimation to vigilance. Grievances
warranting vigilance intervention have been taken up for investigation either directly or
through Preventive Inspection.
DISCIPLINARY
CASES
Sincere and sustained efforts were made for expeditious finalisation of pending
disciplinary cases. All the Inquiry officers who were holding disciplinary cases for a long time
have been requested to complete the inquiry at the earliest. The attention of the disciplinary
authorities has also been constantly drawn to expedite finalisation of proceedings. ThA CVC
guidelines on this subject have also been widely circulated. D~ring the year, 395 disciplinary
cases have been initiated. Out of total 838 DP cases (i.e. opening balance 543 and cases
initiated during the year 395), 372 cases were disposed otf leaving behind a closing balance
of 566 cases.
PREVENTIVE
VIGILANCE
Adequate attention has also been given in the area of preventive vigilance. During
the year 40 Preventive Vigilance Inspections, particularly in the field of accounts and
enforcement matters, were conducted. Short comings/irregularities detected during PVI have
been brought to the notice of the concerned Regional Commissioners for taking appropriate
corrective / preventive/punitive measures. The Preventive Vigilance Inspections are made
more effective by incorporating an element of surprise inspection. Emphasis has also been
given on the follow up action taken on recommendations of earlier Preventive Vigilance
Inspections
