What Does the Abolition of the EPF Appellate Tribunal Mean for Your Appeals?

EPF Appellate Tribunal Abolishment and Jurisdiction Transfer to CGIT

The recent notification by the Government of India on 26-05-2017 abolished the EPF Appellate Tribunal in Delhi and Bengaluru, leading to a significant change in the jurisdiction for handling appeals related to orders under Section 7A of the EPF Act. Now, all cases that were previously filed before the EPF Appellate Tribunal in Delhi and Bengaluru will be redirected to the Central Government Industrial cum Labour Courts (CGIT) located at 22 different places across India.

This transition implies that individuals seeking to appeal against orders under Section 7A of the EPF Act must now approach the CGIT for resolution. It is crucial for all stakeholders involved to adhere to the new guidelines and procedures outlined by the Ministry to ensure a smooth and efficient process for handling such appeals.

For detailed information on the specific procedures and guidelines to follow when filing appeals related to EPF Act orders under Section 7A at the CGIT, please refer to the attached directions provided by the Ministry. It is essential to stay informed and compliant with the updated jurisdictional changes to avoid any delays or complications in the appeal process.

Stay updated with the latest developments and ensure proper adherence to the revised procedures for a seamless transition in handling EPF-related appeals under the new jurisdiction of the CGIT. 🏛️📑
