EPF Scheme Amendments for Illness Advances
EPF members will now only be required to submit a self-declaration for the advance in case of illness of members or dependents. Differently abled members will also get advances on the basis of self-declaration. A member will no longer be required to submit any medical certificate or any other certificate, document, or proforma whatsoever to avail advances under Paragraph 68-J or under Paragraph 68-N of the EPF Scheme 1952.
Amendments to Paragraphs 68-J and 68-N
The Ministry of Labour & Employment has amended Paragraph 68-J and Paragraph 68-N of the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme, 1952, and it will come into force from the date of its publication in the official Gazette. According to it, a member would only be required to submit a self-declaration, which has already been included in the composite claim form, to avail advance under the EPF Scheme in case of illness of members or dependents and also in the case of differently abled members.
E-Governance Reforms by EPFO
This is in continuation of initiatives taken by EPFO as part of the next phase of its e-governance reforms with a view to making the services of EPFO available to its stakeholders in an efficient and transparent manner. An administrative order was issued on 20.02.2017 in the matter of the introduction of Composite Claim Forms (Aadhar and Non-Aadhar) to replace existing Claim Forms No. 19, 10C & 31, and Forms No. 19 (UAN), 10C(UAN) & 31 (UAN). EPFO has since implemented the Universal Account Number (UAN) for its subscribers. It is now possible for subscribers, who have seeded their UAN with Aadhar Number and Bank account details, to submit claim forms directly to EPFO without the attestation of employers.
