EPFO PRAYAS Scheme: Guaranteed Pension on Your Retirement Day! The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has introduced the revolutionary EPFO PRAYAS Scheme, ensuring that employees in India's organized sectors receive their pension amount on the very day of their retirement. This initiative eliminates the long-standing delays that have caused significant stress for retirees. The Challenge of Delayed Pensions One of the biggest concerns for employees retiring across the nation has been the uncertainty surrounding the receipt of their pension amounts. Over the years, numerous retirees have experienced unexplained delays in their pension disbursements, causing unnecessary financial strain and anxiety. Introduction to the EPFO PRAYAS Scheme To address this issue, the EPFO has launched the PRAYAS scheme, which guarantees that employees receive their pension on their retirement day. This scheme marks a significant improvement in the efficiency and responsiveness of the EPFO’s pension distribution system. How to Ensure Pension on Your Retirement Day To benefit from the EPFO PRAYAS scheme, employees need to follow specific steps well in advance of their retirement date: 1. Ensure Correct EPF Account Details Verify that all your details in the Employee Provident Fund (EPF) account are accurate. If there are any discrepancies, correct them immediately with the concerned department. 2. Obtain a Universal Account Number (UAN) If you have worked for multiple companies, ensure that all your provident fund accounts are linked to a single Universal Account Number (UAN). This consolidation simplifies the management of your EPF contributions. 3. Complete Form 10D Fill out Form 10D and gather all the necessary documents as specified by the EPFO. This form is crucial for initiating your pension disbursement process. 4. Submit Documents 20 Days Before Retirement Submit all required documents to the EPF office at least 20 days before your retirement. This ensures that your Pension Payment Order (PPO) is processed and ready by your retirement date. Understanding the Background of the PRAYAS Scheme Before the introduction of the PRAYAS scheme, retirees faced significant delays in receiving their provident fund (PF) and pension amounts. The process involved cumbersome paperwork and multiple visits to regional PF offices and their former employers. Recognizing these challenges, the EPFO launched the PRAYAS scheme to streamline the process and ensure timely pension disbursement. Benefits of the PRAYAS Scheme The PRAYAS scheme offers several benefits to employees: Guaranteed Pension on Retirement Day Subscribers of the Employee Provident Scheme (EPS) will receive their pension on the exact day of their retirement, eliminating any waiting period. Time-Saving and Convenient Retired employees and their families no longer need to follow up with the PF office or their former employers to receive their pension. This saves considerable time and effort. Simplified Documentation The scheme reduces the hassle of lengthy documentation processes, allowing employees to enjoy their retirement without administrative burdens. Enhanced Quality of Life By receiving their pension promptly, retirees can focus on enjoying their post-retirement life without financial uncertainties. Procedure Under the PRAYAS Scheme To ensure the seamless implementation of the PRAYAS scheme, both employees and employers need to initiate the documentation process early: Update Online Profile and KYC Employees must update their online EPF profile, complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) details, and add e-nominations. Submit Pension Claims Early Retiring employees should submit their pension claims to their employer well before the retirement date. Advance PF Contributions Employers must pay the PF contributions due for the retirement month in advance and submit the necessary pension claims with the required documents to the PF office. They must file the Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) before the 15th of the retirement month. Form 10D Submission Employers should ensure that Form 10D, along with all required documents, is submitted to the PF office in a timely manner to facilitate the issuance of the PPO on the retirement date. Regular Pension Disbursement Once the EPFO issues the PPO, the employee's pension will be regularly routed through their bank account. Employees can also submit their online life certificate after retirement at any time during the year. Success Stories Under the PRAYAS Scheme Several organizations, including Fourrts India Laboratories Ltd., Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Ashok Leyland Ltd., National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), and T. Thomas Educational Trust, have successfully implemented the PRAYAS scheme. Employees from these organizations have received their PPO on the day of their retirement, highlighting the scheme’s effectiveness. Conclusion The EPFO PRAYAS scheme is a game-changer for employees retiring in India’s organized sectors. By ensuring that retirees receive their pension on their retirement day, the EPFO has significantly improved the post-retirement experience. Employees are encouraged to complete the necessary documentation well in advance to benefit from this innovative scheme and enjoy a worry-free retirement. NEWS

Supreme Court Advocates for Stakeholder Consultation on Menstrual Leave Policy The Supreme Court of India has urged the Central government to engage in a comprehensive stakeholder consultation to develop a model policy for menstrual leave for women employees. This move came after a petition filed by advocate Shailendra Tripathi, highlighting the need for a structured approach to menstrual leave in the workplace. Supreme Court's Directive to the Central Government On Monday, a bench consisting of Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala, and Justice Manoj Mishra issued a directive to the Central government. They emphasized that the issue of menstrual leave is a matter of governmental policy and should be addressed through a formal consultation process involving all relevant stakeholders. The bench has permitted the petitioner to present his case to the Secretary of the Ministry of Women and Child Development. The Court's Rationale The Court reiterated that the responsibility for creating a policy on menstrual leave lies with the government and not the judiciary. The bench highlighted the potential adverse effects of mandating menstrual leave, such as employers possibly being reluctant to hire women. Chief Justice Chandrachud pointed out that while the intention is to protect women, such policies might inadvertently work against their interests by reducing their employment opportunities. A Call for Comprehensive Consultation The Supreme Court's order encourages the Secretary of the Ministry of Women and Child Development to examine the issue at the policy level. The Court requested that a decision be made after consulting all stakeholders, including state governments. Importantly, the Court clarified that this directive does not prevent individual states from making independent decisions regarding menstrual leave. Previous Plea for Menstrual Leave This directive follows a previous plea in which the Supreme Court had disposed of a request for menstrual pain leave for female students and working women across India. At that time, a bench led by CJI Chandrachud and Justices PS Narasimha and JB Pardiwala suggested that the petitioners present their case to the Central government, citing the policy nature of the issue. The Petitioner's Persistent Efforts Advocate Shailendra Tripathi's counsel informed the Court that their initial representation had not received a response from the government. In response, Chief Justice Chandrachud reiterated that the matter should be handled by the government. He also expressed concerns about the potential negative impacts of mandatory menstrual leave on women's employment. Addressing Policy Concerns The Supreme Court acknowledged the complexity of the issue, noting that it involves multiple policy dimensions. The Court permitted the petitioner to move forward by approaching the Secretary of the Ministry of Women and Child Development and Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati. The Court's decision underscores the need for a balanced approach that considers the perspectives of all stakeholders. States Leading the Way Currently, Bihar and Kerala are the only states in India that have provisions for menstrual leave. Bihar offers a two-day leave policy for women employees, while Kerala provides a three-day period leave for women students. These states serve as examples of how menstrual leave policies can be implemented at the state level, providing valuable insights for a potential national model. The Future of Menstrual Leave Policy in India The Supreme Court's directive marks a significant step towards addressing the issue of menstrual leave in India. By advocating for a stakeholder consultation, the Court has paved the way for a more inclusive and comprehensive policy framework. As the Central government engages with various stakeholders, including state governments, employers, and women's rights groups, it is hoped that a balanced and effective policy will emerge. Conclusion The Supreme Court's involvement in the menstrual leave policy debate highlights the importance of addressing women's health and employment concerns in a holistic manner. By encouraging a thorough consultation process, the Court has set the stage for a policy that not only protects women's rights but also ensures their continued participation in the workforce. As the government moves forward with this directive, it is crucial to keep the diverse needs and perspectives of women at the forefront of the policy-making process. NEWS
