New Delhi : Maharastra followed by Gujarat and Karnataka tops the list of states with maximum number of beneficiaries under Atmanirbhar Bharat Rojgar Yojana (ABRY).
The measures taken by the Government for the quick disbursal of PF amount to workers are :
- Auto settlement of Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) claims was introduced by Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in January, 2020.
- Multi-location claim settlement facility was introduced in EPFO to provide uninterrupted services to the EPF members at the time of any disaster like pandemic, floods, earthquake, etc when it may not be possible to process claims in such Disaster Affected office(s). This arrangement has helped in delivery of uninterrupted services to the EPF members and also helped in disaster proofing of the offices of EPFO.
This information was given by Minister of State for Labour and Employment Rameswar Teli in Lok Sabha on December 13, 2021, according to a PIB release.
