More than 40 crore unorganized sector in the country
There are more than 400 million unorganized sectors in the country that do not appear in any establishment or wage register. The government plans to bring each of these institutions under the EPFO.
The government will help
The subsidy will be for covering the retirement fund contribution i.e. PF made by the employer for two years. 12 per cent contribution to PF and 12 per cent contribution made by the employer i.e. 24 per cent contribution will be given by the subsidy government.
Under the scheme, the government will provide PF from both the employer and the employer to the companies employing 1000 people.
The network has to increase the space
Brijesh Upadhyay, former secretary general of the Indian Trade Union Confederation, said the implementation of the Social Security Code would pose a new challenge to the EPFO in 2021.
