Rs 124 crore deposited with EPFO; Rs 81 crore pertains to Phagwara unit, benefiting around 24,000 employees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phagwara, October 8: In a major relief to thousands of JCT employees and their families, who have been awaiting settlement of their retirement savings for several years, Member Parliament Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal on Thursday said that the long-pending Employees\u2019 Provident Fund (EPF) dues of JCT Mill employees would begin to be released within a fortnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing a meeting with JCT employees in Phagwara, Dr Raj Kumar Chabbewal said that the Punjab Government was committed to resolving the long-pending issues of JCT workers and assured the employees that he was personally monitoring the matter to ensure settlement of their legitimate dues at the earliest. He said that the district administration had already constituted a committee comprising officials from the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the Resolution Professional and other concerned stakeholders. The committee had been working continuously to complete the necessary exercise for settlement of the dues. The committee had reconciled the service records and provident fund accounts of the workers besides verifying employment records, matching PF contributions and resolving discrepancies accumulated over several years, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional Deputy Commissioner Randeep Singh Heer said that the JCT Trust had deposited around Rs 124 crore with the Employees\u2019 Provident Fund Organisation towards the provident fund dues of employees. Of this amount, around Rs 81 crore pertains to the Phagwara unit and is expected to benefit approximately 24,000 employees. He said that the employee-wise exercise, including verification of the amount payable to each individual employee, had been completed. The EPFO would shortly upload the details on its portal, following which the eligible dues would start getting credited to the respective PF accounts. He added that employees would be able to withdraw their eligible PF amount by following the prescribed procedure and applying to the concerned authority.
