EPF   சில விபரங்கள் 

.. நன்றி  திரு செல்வம் பழனிசாமி  முக நூல் -அவர்களுக்கு 

மாதச் சம்பளம் வாங்கும் அனைவருக்கும் பிஎஃப் கணக்கு என்பது நிச்சயம் இருக்கும். பிஎஃப் கணக்கில் தெரிந்து வைத்திருக்க வேண்டிய முக்கிய 10 விஷயங்கள் எவை என்பதை சென்னை மண்டல ஆணையர் எஸ்.டி. பிரசாத் விளக்குகிறார்.

நாமினி!

"முதலீடு செய்யும்போது நாமினி என்பது முக்கியமான விஷயம். பிஎஃப் முதலீட்டுக்கும் நாமினி என்பது மிகவும் முக்கியம். வேலைக்குச் சேரும்போது பலரும் திருமணம் ஆகாமல் இருப்பார்கள். அப்போது பெற்றோரின் பெயரை நாமினி யாகக் காட்டியிருப்பார்கள். ஆனால், திருமணத்துக்குப் பிறகு நாமினியின் பெயரை மாற்றுவது முக்கியம். அதேபோல, நாமினியாக நாம் காட்டியவர் திடீரென இறந்துவிட்டால் புதிதாக வேறு ஒரு நாமினியை உடனடியாக நியமிப்பது அவசியம். வேலைப் பார்க்கும் நிறுவனத்தின் மூலமாகவோ அல்லது நேரடியாக பிஎஃப் அலுவலகத்துக்கோ சென்று புதிய நாமினியை நியமிக்கலாம்.

பென்ஷன்!

பத்து வருடத்துக்கு மேல் ஒருவர் பிஎஃப் கணக்கில் தொடர்ந்து பணம் செலுத்தி யிருந்்தால் அவருக்கு பிஎஃப் பென்ஷன் கிடைக்கும். இந்த பென்ஷன் தொகையை 50 முதல் 58 வயதுக்குள் எப்போது வேண்டு மானாலும் திரும்ப வாங்கிக் கொள்ளலாம். 10 வருடத்துக்கு முன்பு வேலையை விட்டு நிரந்தரமாக விலகும்போது பென்ஷன் தொகை அட்டவணை D-யின்படி கிடைக்கும். இந்தத் தொகைக்கு வட்டி கிடையாது.

மேலும், 1.9.2014-க்கு பிறகு வேலைக்குச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள், மாதச் சம்பளம் 15 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய்க்கு மேல் வாங்குபவர் களுக்கு பென்ஷன் கிடையாது. பிஎஃப் செலுத்தும் தொகையில் அதிகபட்சமாக பென்ஷனுக்காக ரூ.1,249 பிடிக்கப்படும். இந்தப் பென்ஷன் தொகை பிஎஃப் உறுப்பினரின் ஆயுட்காலம் முழுவதும் வழங்கப்படும். பென்ஷன் காலத்தில் உறுப்பினர் இறந்துவிட்டால் அவரது வாரிசு தாரருக்கு இந்த பென்ஷன் தொகை கிடைக்கும்.

இடையில் பணம் எடுத்தல்!

பிஎஃப் தொகையை சில காரணங்களுக்கு மட்டும் இடையில் எடுக்க முடியும். இதற்கு குறைந்தபட்சம் 5 வருடம் பிஎஃப் உறுப்பினராக இருந்திருக்க வேண்டும். அதாவது, பிஎஃப் உறுப்பினர், உறுப்பினரின் ரத்த உறவுகள், மகன்/மகளின் திருமணத்துக்கு, மருத்துவச் சிகிச்சை போன்றவற்றுக்குப் பணம் எடுக்கலாம்.

மேலும் வீடு வாங்கவும், வீட்டைப் புதுப்பிக்கவும் கடன் வாங்க முடியும். எந்தெந்த செலவு களுக்கு எவ்வளவு தொகை எடுக்க முடியும் என்பதைhttp://www.epfindia.com/site_en/WhichClaimForm.php இணைய தளத்தில் பார்க்கலாம்.

பிஎஃப் கணக்கை முடிப்பது!

பிஎஃப் கணக்கில் செலுத்தும் தொகை முழுவதும் இடையில் எடுக்க முடியாது. அதாவது, நிரந்தரமாக வேலையை விட்டுச் செல்லும்போதுதான் பணத்தை எடுக்க முடியும். 58 வயதுக்குமுன் சொந்த தொழில் செய்வதற்காக அல்லது மருத்துவ ரீதியான பிரச்னையினால் பணியிலிருந்து விலகும்போது, நிரந்தர ஊனம் ஏற்படும்போது, நிறுவனத்தை மூடும்போது பிஎஃப் கணக்கில் இருந்து பணத்தை வெளியே எடுக்க முடியும்.

இன்ஷூரன்ஸ்! (Employees’Deposit-Linked Insurance Scheme)

பிஎஃப் உறுப்பினராக இருப்பவர்களுக்கு தொழிலாளர் வைப்பு சார் ஈட்டுறுதி காப்பீட்டுத் திட்டத்தில் கவரேஜ் கிடைக்கும். இதில் பணிக் காலத்தில் இறப்பு ஏற்பட்டால் இன்ஷூரன்ஸ் பாலிசியிலிருந்து க்ளெய்ம் பெற முடியும். இந்த பாலிசிக்கான பிரீமியத்தை நிறுவனம் செலுத்தி விடும். இந்த பாலிசியில் அதிகபட்சம் ரூ. 3.6 லட்சம் வரை கவரேஜ் கிடைக்கும். அனைத்து நிறுவனங்களும் இன்ஷூரன்ஸ் பாலிசி பிரீமியத்தைக் கட்டாயம் செலுத்த வேண்டும்.

அனைத்தும் ஆன்லைன்!

பிஎஃப் அமைப்பில் உள்ள பெரும்பாலான சேவைகளுக்கு ஆன்லைன் வசதி கொண்டு வரப்பட்டுள்ளது. இதில் இ-பாஸ்புக், பிஎஃப் பேலன்ஸ் செக் செய்து கொள்வது, பிஎஃப் ஸ்டேட்மென்ட் எடுப்பது என அனைத்தும் ஆன்லைனிலேயே செய்து கொள்ள முடியும். மேலும், உங்களுடைய செல்போன் எண்ணைப் பதிவு செய்து வைத்தால், ஒவ்வொரு மாதமும் உங்களின் கணக்கில் பிஎஃப் தொகை வரவு வைக்கப்பட்டதற்கான குறுஞ்செய்தி வரும். http://www.epfindia.com/site_en/ என்ற இணையதளத்தில் அனைத்துச் சேவைகளும் கிடைக்கிறது.

எதற்கு எந்தப் படிவம்?

பிஎஃப் தொகையை வெளியே எடுப்பதற்கு, கடன் வாங்குவதற்கு என ஒவ்வொரு நடைமுறைக்கும் ஒரு படிவம் உள்ளது. அதாவது, பிஎஃப் வழங்கும் இன்ஷூரன்ஸ் பாலிசியின் கவரேஜ் தொகையைப் பெறுவதற்குப் படிவம் 5 சமர்பிக்க வேண்டும். பிஎஃப் கடன் வாங்குவதற்குப் படிவம் 31 உள்ளது. எதற்கு எந்தப் படிவம் என்பதைhttp://www.epfindia.com/site_en/WhichClaimForm.php இணையதளத்தில் பார்க்க முடியும். அதற்கான படிவத்தைhttp://www.epfindia.com/site_en/Downloads.php?id=sm8_index டவுன்லோடு செய்துகொள்ள முடியும்.

புகார் தெரிவிக்க!

பிஎஃப் தொடர்பான பிரச்னைக்கு, சம்பந்தப்பட்ட அதிகாரியிடம் இருந்து சரியான பதில் கிடைக்கவில்லை அல்லது வேலை பார்க்கும் நிறுவனத்தில் பிஎஃப் தொடர்பான பிரச்னை இருந்தால் அது குறித்து புகார் தெரிவிக்க முடியும். இந்தப் புகாரை கடிதம் மூலமாகவும் தெரிவிக்கலாம். அல்லது ஆன்லைனிலும் தெரிவிக்க முடியும்.http://epfigms.gov.in/grievanceRegnFrm.aspx…& என்ற இணையதளத்தில் பிஎஃப் சம்பந்தமான புகார்களைத் தெரிவிக்க முடியும். ஆன்லைனில் புகார் தெரிவிக்கும்போது அந்தப் புகார் மீதான நடவடிக்கை அடுத்த 15 நாட்களுக்குள் எடுக்கப்படும். அப்படி நடவடிக்கை எதுவும் எடுக்கவில்லை எனில் அடுத்தடுத்த அதிகாரிகளுக்கு அந்தப் புகார் செல்லும்.

டிடிஎஸ்!

பிஎஃப் கணக்கி லிருந்து பணத்தை வெளியே எடுக்கும்போது டிடிஎஸ் (TDS)செலுத்த வேண்டியிருக்கும். அதாவது, ஐந்து வருடத்துக்கு குறைவாகப் பணியாற்றி, வேலையை விட்டு நிரந்தரமாக விலகும்போது வெளியே எடுக்கும் பிஎஃப் தொகை 30 ஆயிரம் ரூபாய் அல்லது அதற்கு அதிகமாக இருந்தால், அந்தத் தொகைக்கு டிடிஎஸ் பிடித்தம் செய்யப்படும். இது 1.6.2015-லிருந்து நடைமுறையில் உள்ளது. டிடிஎஸ் குறித்த விரிவான கட்டுரையை படிக்க இங்கே செல்லவும்.
http://www.vikatan.com/personalfinance/article.php?aid=10541

நிரந்தரக் கணக்கு எண்!

பிஎஃப் அமைப்பு UAN(Universal Account Number) என்ற 14 இலக்க எண்ணை நிரந்தரக் கணக்கு எண்ணை வழங்கி உள்ளது. பணிக்காலத்தில் எத்தனை முறை வேலை மாறினாலும் இந்த எண்தான் பிஎஃப் நிரந்தர எண்ணாக இருக்கும். இந்த எண் ஒருவருக்கு ஒருமுறைதான் வழங்கப்படும். கேஒய்சி விதிமுறைகளைப் பூர்த்திச் செய்து தந்து இந்த எண்ணைப் பெற முடியும்.

இந்த எண்ணை நேரடியாக வாங்க முடியாது. பணிபுரியும் அலுவலகத்தின் மூலமாகவே வாங்க முடியும். இந்த எண்ணைhttp://uanmembers.epfoservices.in/uan_reg_form.php என்ற இணைய தளத்தில் கேட்கும் தகவல்களைத் தந்து ஆக்டிவேட் செய்து கொள்வது அவசியம்.

இதை ஆக்டிவேட் செய்யும் போது தரும் செல்போன் எண்ணை மாற்ற பிஎஃப் அலுவலகத்தின் உதவி தேவைப்படும். எனவே, உங்களின் நிரந்தரச் செல்போன் எண் கொடுத்து ஆக்டிவேட் செய்து கொள்வது நல்லது.”

THE FIRST AND SOFT TARGET IS PENSION FUND !!

Another myth is fallen. The propaganda was that

"China deviated from the communist path of economic progress and hence it has become a world economic power".

Now, that myth is fallen. The Chinese Sensex has crashed.

There is a serious crisis.

It has affected not only China but also India, Europe, US etc.etc.

Sensex watchers are shocked.....

In China too, the government found Pension Fund as the soft target to be attacked first

to overcome a financial crisis.

China has decided to divert 54,700 CRORE Dolor from pension fund and invest in share market to overcome the economic crisis.

In future, India can tell that it follows Chinese example....

Our Finance Ministry people are bewildered.....!

Our Pension Fund also is in danger......!!!!

PENSION FUND IS THE SOFT TARGET.

THE FIRST ATTACK WILL BE ON PENSION FUND.....

On the question of payment of outdoor medical bills certain  SSAs have been restricting  the payment to CGHS rates. After  our pointing  out  the circle office has issued the above guidelines but still the Coimbatore SSA do not  confirm to the above and still  continues to restrict to CGHS Rates only.

Sir, Thank you very much for your immediate action for bringing the matter to PGM.Finance.Chennai 6.

Therefore it is once again requested to pursue the matter with appropriate authority at circle office for immediate redressal.

With regards. R.Perumal.

 LIFE  IS  STRANGER  THAN  FICTION

One Mr. Lambodharan, who belongs to Kerala, retired as a DGM from Madurai, Tamilnadu. He took voluntary retirement due to failing health. After retirement his health deteriorated. He doesnot remember anything. He is suffering from Alzheimer’sdisease.

Recently, his family approached our Association. They informed that Mr. Lambodharan has not yet received the pension revision with effect from 1-1-2007. Our Kerala Circle President, Com. Gopala Pillai, checked the documents and found that Pr. CCA, Tamilnadu had issued revision orders in 2011 itself but the State Bank of India did not act upon it. Com. Gopala Pillai and Com. Ravikumar (Trivandrum District Treasurer) made all calculations. More than a sum of Rs 8 lakhs was due to the pensioner. Com. Gopala Pillai went to the SBI office in Trivandrum, along with the pensioner and his family, and took up the case with the concerned officers there.

On 17th August 2015, Mr. Lambodharan received a sum of Rs 6.78 lakh from the bank as the first installment of arrears. Very next day, on 18th August 2015, Mr. Lambodharan, expired due to heart attack! 

WHEN IT IS ABOUT PENSIONERS,

EVERYTHING IS DELAYED

The ex-servicemen are demanding OROP implementation from April 2014, as was earlier promised to them, ahead of the 7th Pay Commission coming into force from 2016.

17-8-2015:

NEW DELHI: Military veterans on Monday stepped-up their agitation against the government's failure to implement the much-promised one-rank, one-pension (OROP) for them, with two ex-servicemen launching a fast unto death and others deciding to boycott all official functions.

What added to the escalating pressure on the NDA government — already grappling with the task of finding an estimated Rs 16,600 crore outgo if OROP implementation takes effect from 2014 (around Rs 8,300 crore per year) for the over 25 lakh veterans — was an open letter to PM Narendra Modi by 10 former service chiefs on Monday. 

Urging the PM to "expeditiously settle" the OROP imbroglio in "an urgent timeframe", the chiefs warned that any further delay would be "at the cost of damaging the pride of veterans and lowering the morale of armed forces", which the nation could ill-afford in the long run.

EXTRA INCREMENT CASE: KERALA HIGH COURT ORDER

18/08

The High Court judgement copy was delivered today, 17th August 2015 only.

High Court rejected the arguments of Department of Telecom and upheld the CAT judgement asking DoT to count extra increment for fixing pension, even if is over and above the maximum of pay scale.

78.2% CASE IS BEING DELAYED

14/08

Contrary to our impression gathered during our recent visit to New Delhi and discussion with Chairman and Member (F) of Telecom Commission, we receive the disturbing information that Department of Expenditure is delaying the case by asking DoT to supply number of data.

If the DoT asks BSNL Corporate Office to collect the data and supply the same, then, it will not come in the near future. During the last five years, Corporate Office could not collect any data from circles within the prescribed time limit.

Honourable Prime Minister has assured “maximum governance”. But, our experience is just the opposite. A benefit given to central government pensioners eleven years ago is still denied to BSNL retirees who are also central government pensioners. A benefit granted to BSNL serving staff two years ago is denied to pensioners.

Some leaders want “automatic pension revision linked with pay revision in BSNL”

Then, why the 78.2% benefit is not yet given automatic?

SEVENTH PAY COMMISSION REPORT

14/08

Com. Shiv Gopal Sharma, Secretary, Staff Side (JCM) met the chairman and secretary of the 7th CPC. He gathered the impression that the 7th CPC report may be delayed by one month.Earlier, it was told that the CPC may submit its report by 28th August 2015. Now, it is understood that the Report will be submitted by end of September 2015 only.

 78.2 IDA

THE CENTRAL PENSION BILL MAY INCREASE BY 7%

ON ACCOUNT OF 7th CPC REPORT.....

Com. Shiv Gopal Sharma, Secretary, Staff Side (JCM) met the chairman and secretary of the 7th CPC. He gathered the impression that the 7th CPC report may be delayed by one month.Earlier, it was told that the CPC may submit its report by 28th August 2015. Now, it is understood that the Report will be submitted by end of September 2015 only.

According to the report appeared in Economic Times,

Shri Arun Jaitley, Finance Minister has expressed a serious concern about rising pension bill.

The Honourable minister has placed a statement in the Parliament stating that

“........ The Pension bill will rise from Rupees 88 thousand core to 102 thousand crore next year, when the 7th Central Pay Commission recommendations are implemented....”

It means that the pension will increase at an average by 15.79 percent when the 7th CPC report is implemented. In the same statement it is mentioned that normal yearly increase in pension bill is around 9 percent.

That means the additional increase on account of 7th CPC report is only 7 percent.

7th CPC has not yet prepared the report.

But, Finance Minister has some information about the recommendations....!!

COLLECTING DATA AFTER 15 LONG YEARS

On 12-8-2015, the Corporate Office of BSNL sent a new letter to all circles to intimate the number of BSNL non-executive staff who had faced anomaly/aberration in pay when the CDA scales were converted into IDA scales in 2000. BSNL CO is collecting the data after 15 years !!!!

Corporate Office collected the same data several times in the past. All details are available in the Corporate Office. It is not understood why the CO wanted same figures again now.

Nobody has studied the anomaly case properly. 

PAY ANOMALY CASE

Com. R L Kapoor, New Delhi informs:

The case filed by us (OA No 2173/2014) was listed for hearing by the Double Bench of Principal CAT for today, the 12th August 2015. But it was not heard today as the Department of Telecom has changed its advocate. The case is now posted to 8th October 20-15.

VERY FRUITFUL MEETING WITH SECRETARY TELECOM ON 4-8-2015

We had a fruitful meeting for 45 minutes between 1745 and 1830 hours with Shri Rakesh Darg IAS, Secretary Telecom.  Smt. Annie Moraes, Member (Fin) was also present. Our Association was represented by PSR President, DG Vice President, GN General Secretary, P.Gangadhara Rao AGS, S.Gunasekaran Treasurer, R.L.Kapoor Vice President NTR Circle and D.P.S.Pichodia CS NTR.

Issues Discussed:

1. 78.2 IDA:  We conveyed our serious concern over the undue delay in sending the Cabinet Note to Cabinet even though Secretary assured to send it within 15 days on 26-3-2015. We pointed out the transaction of business rule which says that DOT can send the note to the cabinet even if the nodal ministries do not send their comments within 15 days. In the instant case, 45 days are already over. In response, Secretary Telecom appreciated the above point, but he said that if DOT sends the note without comments from DOE particularly, the cabinet may return the file causing further delay. However, DOT shall take all efforts to obtain the comments from DOE without further delay and send the final cabinet note soon.

We said that once the cabinet approves, the order along with Ready Reckoner should be circulated and the order should contain specific time frame for implementation. In this connection, we pointed out when the DOT issued the order on 15-3-2011, it was endorsed by BSNL CO  only on 4-4-2011. The time frame of 6 months was not adhered to by the CCAs except NTR and there was huge delay while releasing the arrears for pre-2007 Retirees . Both the Chairman and the Member (Fin) assured that this aspect shall be taken care of.

2. FUTURE PENSION REVISION:

A detailed discussion took place on this issue. We argued firmly that the PRC cannot suggest any Pension revision. We pointed out that first pension fixation is only linked with pay structure. Subsequent pension revision takes place based on existing pension/family pension plus DR at that point of time and a recommended fitment benefit and not linked with pay. PRC is only for the Executives. For non-executives, it is based on bargaining capacity and affordability of the organization.

We pointed out that our memorandum was forwarded  by VII CPC to DOT for comments on 15-1-2015. But DOT has not yet offered its comments. Secretary after hearing our argument, finally said that DOT shall send its views on our memorandum to 7th CPC very soon. He also said that DOT will take up the next pension revision for BSNL pensioners with concerned department after the 7th CPC submits its report.

3. We requested the Secretary DOT to conduct Pension Adalat at National level at least once in 6 months because, there are certain policy issues involving both DOT and BSNL. Secretary agreed to the proposal.

Later, we met Member (Services) and as per his direction, we met DDG (Estt) Shri S.K.Jain and had a detailed discussion on 7th CPC also. In toto, the meeting was very fruitful and purposeful.
