Dear All,
The Directorate General of Employment Shri S B Singh had forwarded Office Memorandum dated 12.04.2018 (copy attached) regarding amendment in the guidelines of Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protshan Yojana (version dated 23.02.2017) to Dr. V. P. Joy, IAS, Additional Chief P. F. Commissioner, HO, New Delhi.for information and necessary action. The Amendment in the guidelines is as under:
"Govt. of India will pay the full employer's contributions (EPF and Employees Pension both) as admissible from time to time w.e.f. 01.04.2018 for a period of three years to the new employees and to the existing beneficiaries for their remaining period of three years thru EPFO. The terminal date for registration of beneficiary through establishment is 31st March, 2019."
The EPFO (Central Analysis & Intelligence Unit) put the same for web circulation for their internal use on 24.04.2018.
The interpretation of the sentence is confusing "The terminal date for registration of beneficiary through establishment is 31st March, 2019 whether to register new establishment upto 31.03.2019 or New employees?"
"But the amendment says the benefit is available for the New employees and to the existing beneficiary." However, EPFO Authority have removed link for covering New PF Members under Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) from EPFO Portal w.e.f. 01st April, 2019 throughout India.
Regards,
Suresh
