EARLY TIMES REPORT
UDHAMPUR, Jan 22: An awareness camp for the employees of private schools of Udhampur, Reasi and Doda districts was organized here today by the Employees Provident Fund (EPFO) in collaboration with the J&K Private Schools Association (PSA), Jammu.
Assistant Provident Commissioner Davinder Singh, Enforcement Officers Mihir Kumar Sahoo and Hariharan deployed by Ministry of Labour & Employment, Govt. of India briefed the gathering that the Central Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, will now cover workers in the two newly carved Union Territories (UTs) of J&K and Ladakh after the bifurcation of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir on August 5, 2019.The Central Act has now replaced the Jammu and Kashmir EPF Act/Schemes 1961. In addition to it they stressed to register all establishments which are already registered in the erstwhile state of J & K prior to abrogation of Article 370.
Ajay Gupta, General Secretary J&K PSA Jammu declared that the notification 3962(E) issued by the Government of India on October 31, 2019 is inhumane which extended the provisions to J&K through Central EPFO to all the establishments, employing ten or more persons without giving any pension benefits to already registered employees on the one hand whereas in rest of India it is twenty and above as per Employees Provident Scheme 1952 on the other hand. This initiative taken by the central government is against the present rule of the land i.e. One Nation, One Legislation, he added.
President of the Association Kamal Gupta demanded enforcement of all central rules in newly created UTs. To save the employers from the penalty, he also demanded notification regarding extension in the deadline for filling of online contribution till ending March 2020 as there is a disruptive internet service in the region since long. |
