EPFO to introduce this new service - Know about it

Employees' Provident Fund Organisation or EPFO is set to introduce a new e-inspection system that will simplify the inspection process and ensure organisations with open communications will not be subject to physical inspection
until absolutely necessary. The development has been confirmed by Central Provident Fund Commissioner Sunil Barthwal. According to a CII release quoted by news agency PTI, the body has proposed to amend the Act to limit enquiry period to a maximum of two years in order to curtail harassment, he said at a Confederation of Indian Industry-organised interactive session last Friday.

Barthwal said that there is a fraction of employees that is unable to generate UAN (a 12-digit Universal Account Number to all employees entitled to EPF) due to the mismatch in data. He added that the EPFO is looking at alternative authentication vis-a-vis the employee database.

"The EPFO is working towards a three-day settlement period for KYC (Know Your Customer) compliant beneficiaries who have UAN linked to Aadhaar, have a bank account and a registered mobile number," the release quoted him as saying. Barthwal also proposed to set up a society of self-regulating consultants, similar to ICAI (The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India), in order to curb "misuse and corruption."

"In a significant announcement for industry, he proposed to decriminalise defaulters and treat the cases as economic offences," the release said. The move would extend direct benefit to 4.6 crore EPF account holders.
