According to the details provided by the EPFO, the Principal Employers (PE) who are not registered with the organisation can register on the portal.
In big news for employers and contract workers, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has made a major announcement. The EPFO has launched an electronic facility for principal employers, which makes it easier for them to view the EPF compliances of their contractors.
Using the unified portal of the EPFO, the EPFO registered employers that get their employees from contractors can put in the details of these contractors and contract employees. The unified portal of the EPFO can be found at unifiedportal-emp.epfindia.gov.in/epfo/.
The EPFO took to Twitter to inform all the concerned about this facility for the Principal employers.
The EPFO said, in its tweet, "EPFO launches electronic facility for PRINCIPAL EMPLOYERS to view EPF compliances of their contractors."
According to the details provided by the EPFO, the Principal Employers (PE) who are not registered with the organisation can register on the portal. This registration would enable them to receive the login details and password which they can use to put in the details about their contractors and contract employees.
To add the details, the PE can have access to the employee-wise remittance that the contractors make through the Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR). The ECR launched in April 2012 made it mandatory for employers to file the returns online.
The facility also helps the PE ensure that the contractors enroll all contract workers. It also ensures that the EPF contributions are emitted through the ECR.
For those who want to check the EPF balance online, here are the steps to do so:
- A person needs to log in at epfindia.gov.in through Universal Account Number, password, and captcha code
- Then, the concerned person needs to click on the e-Passbook and file all the required details
- Once on the landing page, click to open member id, and the EPF balance in the account will be displayed
