DEATH CLAIMS TO BE PROCESSED WITHIN 07 DAYS AND
RETIREMENT CLAIMS TO BE SETTLED ON THE DAY OF RETIREMENT (Ministry of Labour & employment 18.11.2016)
PAYMENT OF STATUTORY CONTRIBUTIONS
HENCEFORTH ONLY THROUGH INTERNET BANKING
The Prime Minister of India during the PRAGATI review
meeting held on 26th October desired that claims related to death cases be
prioritized and expedited and retirement claims may be settled on the day of
retirement. In accordance, the processes have been reviewed and instructions
have been issued to field offices to settle death claims within a period of 07
days from the date of receipt of proposal and retirement claims on the day of
retirement. The officials in the facilitation centre of field offices have been
instructed to scrutinize the claims and guide the claimant regarding submission
of required documents in appropriate shape. An official has been posted in the
facilitation centers of EPFO this category of claims.
Employers are now increasingly using
internet banking to deposit statutory EPF dues since EPFO made it mandatory to
use internet banking as the mode of receipt of EPF dues. 96.03% contributions
in October 2016 were received online.
In an important judgment delivered
by the High Court of Madras in the matter of writ petition filed by Builders
Association of India, Madurai, the High Court dismissed the petition praying
non enforcement of EPF & MP Act, 1952 every employee employed in or in
connection with the work or that factory or establishment, other than an
excluded employee, who has not become a member already shall also be entitled
and required to become a member of the Fund from the date of joining the
factory or establishment.
To expand the reach of convenience
offered to EPF members, EPFO has joined the network of Common Services Centers
(CSC). A Memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between EPFO and CSC
e-Governance Services India Limited (CSC SPV) on 25th October 2016. The MoU is
initially for a period of five years. Every year on 14st November, pensioners
were required to submit their life certificates. From this year onward,
pensioners can submit digital life certificates via Jeevan Pramaan Patra
programme through a large number of points of Presence (PoP) of CSC network in
addition to those available at EPFO offices. The pensioners living in remote
areas can avoid cost and inconvenience of travelling down to the EPF offices or
their banks for filing paper based life certificate through this arrangement.

ABOLITION OF OVERTIME ALLOWANCE IN 7TH PAY COMMISSION: FIN MIN'S STATEMENT IN LOK SABHA.
GOVERNMENT
OF INDIA
MINISTRY
OF FINANCE
UNSTARRED
QUESTION NO: 492
ANSWERED
ON: 18.11.2016
Abolition of Overtime
Allowance
G. HARI
Will the
Minister of
FINANCE be pleased to state:-
(a) whether the expenditure on overtime allowance provided to
Government employees had increased from Rs.797 crore to Rs.1629 crore during
2012-13 and if so, the details thereof; and
(b) whether the Government is considering to abolish overtime
allowance in Government offices and if so, the details thereof?
ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR FINANCE (EXPENDITURE)
(SHRI ARJUN RAM MEGHWAL)
(a) Yes Sir. The expenditure of Rs.796.90 crore in 2006-07 was
excluding the expenditure on overtime allowance in respect of employees of
Union Territories whereas the expenditure of Rs. 1629.02 crore during year
2012-13 is including the expenditure in respect of employees of Union
Territories.
(b) The Seventh Central Pay Commission has recommended to
abolish OTA (except for operational staff and industrial employees who are
governed by statutory provisions) and in case the Government decides to
continue with OTA for those categories of staff for which it is not a statutory
requirement, then the rates of OTA for such staff should be increased by 50
percent from their current levels. Recommendation of the 7th CPC on allowances
are yet to be finalised.
*********************
INTEREST RATE ON THE LONG TERM SAVING DEPOSITS
IN POST OFFICES (Finance Ministry)
Interest rates on bank deposits are not uniform and vary from
bank to bank. Hence, a one-on-one comparison of interest rates may not be
possible.
The interest
rates on term deposits are deregulated and they are determined by the banks
themselves as per their Board approved policies. In contrast interest rates on
Small Savings Schemes are administered interest rates linked to G-Sec rate of
comparable maturity.
The percentage
of savings in the savings schemes in Post Office as on 31.03.2016 is 14.84% of
the deposits in the savings schemes of PSBs.
The Government
has taken various steps to popularise all the existing schemes by carrying out
publicity through print and electronic/Audio Visual media on an all India
basis. Jan Dhan Yojana is a scheme of the Government to encourage deposits in
banks and promote savings.
This was stated
by Shri Arjun Ram Meghwal, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance in
written reply to a question in Lok Sabha today.
