Posted on: 12/Apr/2017 5:31:41 PM
The central government has devised a new social security policy for employee social welfare linking the 15 social security Acts including ESI (Employee State Insurance) and PF (Provident Fund).
With this new policy, it is planned to bring the ESI and PF under the control of the state government. This proposal has created a strong discontent among the employees.
This plan for the new policy has been devised by the central government department of the Employees welfare.
ESI and PF organisations will be integrated to form a new single organisation to be under the control of the state government.
The Group-A organisations and employees will be selected by the central government. The Groups B, C, and D cadre employees will be selected by the state government.
These 2 organisations will function under the central and state government respectively under the national council.
The central government has planned to put up this proposal before the parliament for the amendment in the related Acts. Currently, feedbacks and suggestions are sought from the public.
However, this proposal has met with a strong discontent among the employees.
