Subject: Coverage of all construction workers under the ambit of Employees Provident Funds and Misc. Provisions Act, 1952.

Sir,

May please refer to Head Office Circular No. C-III/ 110001/4/3(71) Misc /2013/DL/12802 dated 08.10.2013 (Place at Sl. No.428) and Circular No CIII/110001/4/3(71)Misc/2013/DL/34862 dated 22.01.2015 CPFC has also sent e-mails on the subject. The issue has also been discussed in various meetings held at Zone level and attire Head Office level and instructions have also been given vide those minutes.

2. A latest letter from the Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment addressed to the CPFC is enclosed. It emphasize on the coverage of all the Building & Other Constructions Workers to ensure that this coverage is complete. The following should be done immediately.

(i) Meetings should be held with Central Public Sector Undertakings which are functioning under your area in one or other way to ensure that all workers employed in the construction work are registered under UAN. Minutes of the meeting should be uploaded on the website and should be sent on email of CPFC as well as on the email of ACC(Compliance)

(ii) Meeting should be held with State PSUs and State Department so ensure that all coverage of through construction workers takes place in respect of the workers working in these PSUs or departments including those deployed through contractors / sub-contractors. Minutes of these meetings be uploaded on the website and should be sent on email of CPFC as well as on the email of ACC(Compliance). 

(iii) Meetings with all the Trade Unions representatives should be held to deliberate on the issues of coverage of construction workers and action should be taken as per law on the suggestions made by the union representatives. The minutes of the meetings and action taken report be uploaded on the website and should be sent on email of CPFC as well as on the email of ACC(Compliance). 

(iv) All construction sites which are located in your regions/sub- regions be visited. Photographs be taken, especially when the work is going on. This must be done in respect of the buildings where the area being constructed is 10,000 sq.ft. or more and in respect of other construction works also such as road, railways, laying pipe-lines, bridges etc;. A library of such photographs should be maintained invariably and EPFO Head Office will come up with a website for keeping track of these photographs. Therse photographs are not for the sake of photographs but for coverage of all workers which are working on these sites. 

(v) You were directed through an earlier circular that you should guide all the employers having more than 500 or more workers which are engaging staff on outsourcing basis. The meetings of such employers having more than 500 employees in your zone should also be held and minutes of such meetings be uploaded on the website.

3. Principal employers be made liable to ensure compliance in respect of construction / other contractual workers deployed by them through contractors / sub contractors. It may also be impressed upon the principal employer that merely giving code numbers of contractors will not be suffice. To ensure compliance of construction workers engaged through contractors / sub contractors, they should not only ensure separate ECRs containing PF account numbers of their workers burt also copies of wages salary register and attendance register. Remittances of PF and ECRs should be verified by Principal employers from EPFO's website before releasing the bills to avoid manipulations / misappropriation of PF dues b'y their contractors / sub contractors.

4. Principal employers should also be advised to mention PF account number and UAN number on I-card of each worker. UAN numbers of all workers be got activated so that the workers can get their E-pass books and even know about deposit of PF by contractors lat month alongwith PF balance just by giving a missed call from registered mobile.

5. For the purpose of aforesaid inspections standing permission is granted and matter should not be referred to seek permission from CAIU at Head Office.

6. Action on these above points should be taken and a monthly report should be sent as to how much coverage of employees increased in your area. It needs to be ensured that such workers get the UAN so that he is entitled for portability benefits. Monthly report be submitted by 15th of the following month in enclosed performa by e-mail in excel format 

(This issues with the approval of CPFC)

Subject:- Decentralization of Central Pension Accounting Office.

Sir,

I am directed to refer to your Office Letter NoA-l 1019 25.2015 MF.CGA(A)/NGE/AlCEA-HQ/387 dated- 01.10.2015 on the subject cited above and to offer the comments of CPAO as under:-

Taking into consideration rapid strides being made in IT decentralization of CPAO is not recommended due to the following. facts:-

i) With the movement towards e-PPO and e-Revision. the communication is increasingly being made with banks electronically minimising the effect of distance in transactions.

ii) After the operationalization of receipt of revision authorities from PAOs through digital signatures and on electronic mode. the pension processing shall become more efficient.

iii) E-PPO project for revision is Operational with four banks i.e. SBI, Chandni Chowk, Punjab National Bank, Bank of Baroda and Canara Bank. Moreover, PFMS Division is developing a pension module under PFMS which is likely to be implemented w.e.f. 01.04.2016. After that it is expected that processing of pension payment will be more smooth and fast for stakeholders.

iv) It is desirable to reduce the human interface to minimise malpractices or malafied intentions.

v) The communication modes like telephone. e-mail, SMS etc. are becoming quickest. Hence any pensioner can lodge his grievance to Grievance Cell of CPPC of the concerned bank or grievance cell of CPAO.

vi) With the introduction of Defined Pension System w.e.f. 01 04.2004, out flow of new retirees is expected to reduce.

vii) Every information/ latest relevant orders and instructions are available at CPAO’S website and
accessible to all the stakeholders including pensioners.

viii) Pensioners have been provided the download facility of true copy of the Special Seal Authority by using login and passwords provided by CPAO.

ix) Banks/CPPCs are important agencies for outreach purposes-for pensioners.

LIC Presents the Cheque of Rs.2000 crore as the First Tranche of Funding Assistance to Railways

LIC Presents the Cheque of Rs.2000 crore as the First Tranche of Funding Assistance to Railways

The move Marks the Beginning of a Historic Milestone in the form of Institutional Financing for the First time Becoming Available for Railway Projects

Suresh Prabhu : Fresh Investments to Help Decongest the Network, Increase Traffic Output and Generate Adequate Internal Resources

Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), a PSU of Government of India presented the cheque of Rs.2000 crore to Railway PSU Indian Railway Finance Corporation (IRFC) as the first tranche of funding assistance to Railways for its projects. This handing over of cheque was done today i.e. 27.10.2015 at an impressive function at Rail Bhawan in the presence of Ministry of Railways Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu. The cheque was handed over by Shri S.B. Mainak, MD/LIC to Shri Rajiv Dutt, MD/IRFC. On this occasion, Chairman Railway Board Shri A.K. Mital, Financial Commissioner (Railways) & Chairman, IRFC Shri S. Mookerjee; and other Board Members & other Railway and LIC officials were among those present.

It may be recalled that just within fifteen days of presenting the Railway Budget 2015-16, an important commitment of Budget announcement was fulfilled on 11.03.2015 when Railways and LIC signed an MoU for the highest ever funding of Rs. 1.5 lakh crore from LIC to Railways.

Addressing the gathering, Minister for Railways Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu, pointed out that finding resources for investment in capacity enhancement projects was a major challenge for Railways. Without investment, it would not be possible to decongest the network, increase traffic output and generate adequate internal resources. He said that without the fresh investment, the Railways would have gone further down and down and it would not have succeeded in breaking the vicious cycle. The Railway budget 2015-16 had, therefore, envisaged a new source of funds in the form of Institutional Finance. It was a big achievement that within a few days of presenting the budget, the Ministry of Railways signed a Memorandum of Understanding with LIC for funding assistance of Rs.1.5 lakh crore for financing Railway projects over a period of 5 years. As LIC funding will be of 30 year tenor, it matches the Railways’ requirement of long term funds for investment in projects. LIC funds will carry low interest rates tied to Government security, and the cost of funds are expected to come down further over a period of time. Shri Suresh Prabhakar said that an important beginning has been made today with the release of first cheque of LIC funds. It is now for the Railways to match up to the challenge of utilizing the funds in a productive and appropriate manner for realizing maximum benefit. He said that these funds will not only meet the requirement for the new railway projects but will also be utilised for those ongoing projects which will bring quick benefit to the railway system. He said that this arrangement of funds from LIC will be beneficial for both the organizations. Referring to Railway PSU IRFC, Shri Suresh Prabhu said that IRFC has now emerged as an important vehicle for channelizing investment for Railways.

In his speech, MD/LIC Shri Mainak described it as a Golden Day as LIC has found a partner in the Indian Railways which is a viable and sound organization for investing the long term funds available with LIC. MD/LIC offered continued support for Railway projects in future.

The LIC funds are available to the Railways at a rate of 30 bps over the 10-year benchmark yield. The tenor is 30 years with a moratorium of 5 years followed by payment of only interest from year 6 to year 10. From the 11th to the 30th year the loan will be repaid in equated instalments.

Advisor Finance, Railway Board, Shri P.V. Vaidialingam proposed the Vote of Thanks at the end of the programme. Ms. Namita Mehrotra, Executive Director Finance (Resource Mobilization) Railway Board, conducted the proceedings of the programme.
