Introduction Of Real Time System In EPFO Default Management

As per recent EPFO circular dated 25th April 2017, the EPFO has made it clear that it is in process of making a default management system and the EPFO has laid down some of the salient features, which include, an SMS alert being sent on 16th/17th of every month to those employers who have made atleast one contribution during the last three months but failed to contribute during the month, informing them the due date for payment. Thereafter an E-Mail communication shall be sent between 20th to 25th of every month to all those balance establishments who had remitted any contributions during the last three months but have not remitted any contribution during the month. Simultaneously, field offices shall be supplied the list of all such balance establishments for their own viewing in protected view in MIS Portal. The officers-in-charge have been directed take action against the establishments who have not remitted their contribution. It is further proposed to publish defaulting establishments in EPFO Website for public view. Thus, the EPFO has set up a system of sending alerts to ensure timely payments and at the same has issued strict instructions to officers to take action on non-remittance and for publishing defaulter list in the EPFO website. This is to enable employers to make timely remittances
