Retirement fund body has reduced time for various claim settlements PF withdrawal, pension & insurance claims will now be settled in 10 days EPFO has launched an online claim settlement facility on May 1, 2017

Retirement fund body EPFO has reduced claim settlement period to 10 days

New Delhi: Retirement fund manager EPFO or Employees Provident Fund Organization has reduced the stipulated period for settlement of various claims such provident fund withdrawal, pension and insurance to 10 days, from 20 at present. In July 2015, the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) had reduced the timeline for settling various claims to 20 days to improve the service delivery for its over four crore subscribers.

EPFO has launched an online claim settlement facility and plans to eventually settle claims of all Aadhaar and bank account seeded employee provident fund accounts within three hours of receipt of an application. "The timeline in case of claim settlements is 10 days and 15 days in case of grievance redressal management," EPFO said in a statement.

Provident fund subscribers can complete the whole process online and members neither need to interact with the employer and nor with EPFO field office to submit the online claim, the retirement fund body said. The claim submitted by the member would flow in soft form to EPFO database where it will be processed and the member's bank account will be credited. Member is not required to give any supporting document while preferring online provident fund part withdrawal case.

Subscribers who have activated their UAN and seeded their KYC (Aadhaar) will be able to apply for provident fund final settlement (Form19), pension withdrawal benefit (Form10-C) and part withdrawal (Form31) from their UAN interface directly.UAN or Universal Account Number is allotted by the retirement fund body and the number allows portability of provident fund accounts from one employer to another. The number also allows members to view all their provident fund accounts with current and former employers. The number also helps in transferring balances from old provident fund accounts.

Members' bank account along with IFSC code should be seeded in EPFO database. Permanent Account Number (PAN) should also be seeded in EPFO database for PF final settlement claims in case his/her service is less than five years.

7th Pay Commission: Last date to resolve pay anomalies of government employees extended

DoPT says the deadline to resolve pay anomalies for central government employees arising from the 7th Pay Commission implementation will be 15 November , Government has accepted most of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission and will be implemented with effect from 1 January 2016.

 


New Delhi: The time limit to receive and dispose of pay-related anomalies of central government employees arising out of the 7th Pay Commission has been extended by the Center by three months.
The deadline to resolve any discrepancy arising out of the implementation of the 7th Central Pay Commission (7CPC) reports will be 15 November, instead of 15 August, an order issued by the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) said.

The Centre has accepted most of the recommendations of the 7th Pay Commission, to be implemented from 1 January 2016.
“The time limit for receipt of anomalies is extended by three months from the date of expiry of receiving anomalies i.e. from 15 February 2017 to 15 May 2017,” the DoPT order issued last week said.

The DoPT had last year asked all central government departments to set up committees to look into various pay related anomalies.
The anomaly committees were to be formed at two levels — national and departmental — consisting of representatives of the official side and the staff side of the national council and the departmental council respectively.
The Departmental Anomaly Committee is chaired by the additional secretary or the joint secretary (administration) concerned.

“The National Anomaly Committee will deal with anomalies common to two or more departments and in respect of common categories of employees. “The Departmental Anomaly Committee will deal with anomalies pertaining exclusively to the department concerned and having no repercussions on the employees of another ministry or department in the opinion of the financial adviser,” the DoPT had said.

The committees have been mandated to receive anomalies through secretary, staff side of respective council. Cases where there is a dispute about the definition of anomaly and those where there is a disagreement between the staff side and the official side on the anomaly will be dealt by an “arbitrator”, to be appointed out of a panel of names proposed by the two sides, it had said.
The arbitrator will consider the disputed cases arising in the anomaly committees at the national as well as department level.
