EPFO (Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation) has planned to extend the facility of ESI (Employees’ State Insurance) medical assistance for its pensioners.
This decision was taken during the last meeting of its executive committee. It is estimated that about 46 lakh pensioners will benefit if the scheme to implement ESI medical assistance is carried out.
With this plan, PF pensioners can get medical treatment as outward patients in ESI hospitals.
The officials informed that a decision will be taken during the next executive committee meeting.
