Item No. 16: Organisational restructuring of EPFO – the report of

Committee constituted in this regard

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

WHY ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING?

1.1 In the changing world, the stakeholders change and so do their expectations. When the EPFO made its beginning in 1952, nobody thought that it will also distribute pension to 50 lac persons. Perhaps it was also not thought that it will provide its services to crores of subscribers. A good organisation needs to change as per the expectations of the stakeholders. Therefore, there is always need for organizational restructuring.

1.2 EPFO has also made a number of changes over the years, more so in the recent past.

A lot of functions have been centralized and computerized. Therefore, there is a need to look at organizational restructuring.

1.3 The need for organizational restructuring also comes out of the fact that the Ministry passed an order in January, 2015 to look into this aspect and a Committee has been constituted under the Chairmanship of Additional Secretary in the Ministry of Labour & Employment.

1.4 The expectations of stakeholders and consequent changes have also made the various monitoring organizations to look at EPFO in a different way. No longer the various Parliament Committees look at the issue of providing services of EPFO, but it is now stressing upon coverage of contract and construction workers. The focus has shifted to compliance. This is, in a way, good, because it is a tacit admission that the service areas have improved in the EPFO. On the other hand, it shows that the compliance area has lot of gaps & EPFO is not fully geared to look at these. Expectation of members of Central Board and the Ministry have also changed. Equity participation requires interaction with different set of persons & thus consequential changes.

1.5 The organizational changes are also required due to the expectations of the

stakeholders such as Parliament or the Ministry from organizations like EPFO. In a federal set up, it is expected that EPFO will be able to present state-wise statistics. This aspect will also require changes in the systems & organisation.

1.6 The Organizational restructuring is also connected with the aspirations of the employees working in the Organization. Though the main objective of these employees should also be to meet the expectations of the stakeholders but as normal human beings, they are concerned with their progress, their pay-scales, their promotions etc. Any good organization must be able to take care of them and their aspirations as it is only through them, the services will be provided.

1.7 In the past also, the organisation restructuring has been looked into. The Committee could lay its hands on ‘Fakir Chand Committee’ report submitted in 1982. Latest study in this regard was got conducted from XLRI in the year 2006. However both these reports looked at the organizational restructuring from the point of view of employees of EPFO. XLRI report was presented after extensive discussions with employees, but not with the stakeholders.

1.8 XLRI report, about which a lot of discussion still takes place, was intimately related to

“Reinventing EPF India”. XLRI report clearly mentioned that the organizational restructuring must go hand and hand with “Reinventing EPF India”. The then FA of the Ministry and the then FA & CAO, EPFO also very clearly noted that no restructuring should happen without going hand in hand with “Reinventing EPF India”. Discussions are also to that effect. However, surprisingly, “Reinventing EPF India” was abandoned while organisation restructuring based on “Reinventing EPF India” was continued & ordered, at least partly.

1.9 The Committee also notes that organizational restructuring should not be taken up

frequently. Firstly, because the changes in the organisation take time. Secondly, organisation takes time to attune to the new work structure. This organisation has already got major changes in 2008-09 and in 2011-13. Therefore, this is not the right time to look at organizational restructuring.

1.10 Further, this is not the proper time to look at organizational restructuring because the

7th Pay Commission has recently submitted report. Any organizational restructuring which deals with the aspirations of the employees will need to have a detailed look at the recommendations of 7th Pay Commission.

1.11 EPFO is presently undergoing major changes in its procedures & processes. They were

in a way part of ‘Reinventing EPF India’. In this change of flux, looking at organizational restructuring is not correct.

CHAPTER 2

STAKEHOLDERS AND THEIR NEEDS

2.1 The stakeholders in the EPFO can mainly be divided in three categories: (i) Employees or subscribers of the EPFO; (ii) establishments (iii) pensioners. The establishments can be further divided into two categories: (i) Exempted establishments and (ii) unexempted establishments. Further there is a major category of principal employers. This number is increasing as outsourcing of workers is on the rise.

2.2 Besides the above categories, EPFO has to deal with various other important stakeholders, such as members of Central Board, the Ministry of Labour & Employment, other Ministries & departments, State Governments, Parliament & Parliamentary Committees etc. The various trade unions of employees and associations of employers are also part of important stakeholders for EPFO. All these stakeholders have different requirements, not necessarily matching with the requirements of stakeholders mentioned in para 2.1.

2.3 The stakeholders want their work to be as smooth as possible. One can say that they would like EPFO to work better than a bank where all establishments and employees accounts are well attended and are available on the click of mouse or even on their smart phone.

2.4 The pensioners are an important part of the EPFO as most of them are poor and get a very small amount of pension, but this meager amount is very important to them. They would like their pension to be sanctioned timely at the age of 58 years. They would like that EPFO should be able to capture the data on its own & sanctions the pension automatically at the attainment of age of 58 years without any application to this effect. They would like that pension should go to their pension account on the first day of the month. They would also like that if they want to make any changes in the addresses etc. that should also be hassle free and online.

2.5 Presently a sizeable number of persons who are eligible for pension, do not apply for pension. A very large number withdraw their pension benefits prematurely making them ineligible for pension. Stakeholders overall desire that such persons need to be guided and made aware of their rights.

2.6 A sizeable section of stakeholders feels that the pension sanction process is not fully transparent due to which the subscribers report dissatisfaction. This dissatisfaction also results into significant number of court cases.

2.7 The subscribers want to know about their contribution and contribution made by employer on their behalf. They wish that these contributions should be credited to their accounts on real time basis.

209th CBT

2.8 The subscribers want to have their account statement on line as well as clarity about interest calculations made by EPFO. They would like to be informed if the accounts are becoming inoperative.

2.9 The subscriber will like to deal directly with EPFO, without so called ‘attestation’ by establishments as there are usually some issues with ‘establishment’. Employers sometimes make misuse of such attestation power.

2.10. The subscribers would like to have one PF account and would like to transfer their PF account seamlessly to their accounts even on transfer. Any way they would like to have a single account for PF.

2.11 The subscribers would like to have numerous yields on their contributions. The trade unions & the employees will also like the same. Even the Parliament would expect the same.

2.12 The establishments want the returns and payment procedure to be simple. They would also like to have a receipt of the payment deposited by them in EPFO Account.

2.13 They would like to have the authority to oversee the accounts of all employees for whom they are making contributions. They also want to be informed of every transaction which the employee posted in their establishment enters with the EPFO.

2.14 The establishment would like to know about their default online on immediate basis so that rectifications can be made by them. They would not like to be hassled for presentation of old records after years. They are extremely wary of opaque 7A enquires & processes. The establishments also want transparent process on 7Q & 14B proceedings.

2.15 The exempted establishments will like to have their returns very simple. They would like their returns to be examined every month. They would also wish to be guided on various investment related decisions. The employees of exempted establishments are wanting to be on UAN. They would also like to have the statement of their accounts on real time basis and online.

2.16 The exempted establishments are very unhappy with the process of granting exemption. They want that the exemption process should be settled across the table and any notices in this regard should be given in the minimum time possible. The employees of these exempted trusts, however, wish that EPFO should have a stronger hold on the management of these trusts, especially, where the trusts are not giving returns online.

2.17 The employee of exempted establishments want EPFO to monitor the compliance & investment by the trusts so that their PF dues are safe in the event of closing down of the establishments.

2.18 The trade unions want that the EPFO should be quick in coverage of the establishments which are eligible and every employee who is entitled to social security benefit, should get the same, from the due date. They also expect better quality of services from EPFO.

2.19 As number of contract workers is on the increase, the various Parliamentary Committees and the Ministry is raising issues on the coverage of the contract workers. In this regard, the portability of the PF account is also very important.

2.20 The Parliament and various State Governments, Parliamentary Committees also want to have the state-wise data regarding the employees being covered or the establishments working there.

2.21 The principal employers require the data regarding various contractors filing the returns in respect of their employees and they would like to know about any default by their sub-contractors on an immediate basis.

2.22 The international workers, increasing in number, need clearly defined rules & regulations for social security deductions. They would also like to get their accounts maintained online and in a very transparent & objective manner.

CHAPTER 3

EPFO OF FUTURE

3.1 At any point of time, EPFO has not been static in its working, but lately it has started using technology for making significant changes in its systems. Some idea of changes in EPFO can be noted from the achievements made in last two years, a few of which are listed below:

(i) Core Banking Account Numbers of all pensioners (approximately 45-50 lac) were collected, to ensure that pensioners get pension on first working day of the month. EPFO has also saved a sum of more than Rs. 20 cr per annum as earlier the regional offices were transferring the amounts to banks around 15th of the month while now these amounts are transferred on the last working date of the month.

(ii) To smoothen the process of transfer of accounts, a facility (online Transfer

Claim Portal) has been provided wherein the members can file their claims online if their employer has registered digital signature with EPFO. Further, facility for the exempted establishments to track the transfer-in amounts of members in their Trust and receipt of online Annexure K in their login was also launched.

(iii) To ensure an IT driven monitoring mechanism for the exempted Provident

Fund Trusts, so as to improve the delivery of services, EPFO launched a software to enable the exempted establishments to file online monthly returns. The objective of this software is to make the process of submitting the monthly return by exempted establishment less tedious, minimizing the data entry of repetitive nature and minimizing common human errors. Third party monitoring by appointing independent chartered accounts was also initiated for the first time. The rates of surcharge for past irregularities were also finalized and amounts recovered for the first time in last 60 years.

(iv) A campaign was launched to get the amounts lying in the pension accounts for years. Approximately a sum of Rs. 50 cr. was recovered in this way. Similarly, a sizeable sum of more than Rs. 50 cr. has been received from SBI for belated credits & wrong credits.

(v) EPFO for the last two years has created a record in settling claims which

exceeds Rs. 1.2 crores. Approximately 40% of the claims are settled within three days and 75% within 10 days. The rejection ratio has also been brought down significantly.

(vi) Regular periodic meetings were held with the portfolio managers to evaluate

their performance. EPFO could give improved rate of return to the stakeholders i.e. @8.75% instead of earlier 8.5%. The changes in investment pattern were also notified. EPFO has started participating in equity for the first time w.e.f. 6.8.2015.

(vii) First time online facility of getting PF Code was started on 30.06.2014. More

than 60000 establishments have got their PF Code online as on 31.10.2015. Employers’ work was facilitated further by providing facility of depositing PF contribution through 56 banks instead of earlier one bank (SBI). E mails & mobile number of employers were captured which facilitated interaction with employers through e-mail and SMSs.

(viii) Online fillable form facility was launched for the international workers seeking

certificate of coverage (COC). Centralized software for generation of “Certificate of coverage” to the EPF members migrating to countries having Social Security Agreement (SSA) WITH India was also launched to facilitate Indian International workers. Social Security Agreements were finalized with Australia making it the 19th country with whom India has SSA. SSAs were made operational with Finland, Sweden, and Czech Republic & Norway bringing the total to 14.

(ix) First time in the history of EPFO, the actuarial evaluation of EPS 1995 was

brought upto date. It was got completed till 31.12.2014. The better data provision brought the estimated losses down from earlier Rs. 60,000 cr. to present Rs. 7,000 cr. in the Scheme.

(x) First time actuarial evaluation of EDLI Scheme was got done (in last 40 years)

and proposal for enhancement of EDLI benefit was brought before the Central board & the Government. In any case, due to enhancement of mandatory wage ceiling from Rs. 6500/- to Rs. 15000/- and allocation of 20% bonus, the EDLI maximum limit got enhanced from earlier Rs. 1,30,000 to present Rs. 3,60,000. CBT has already decided to enhance it further to Rs. 6,00,000/-.

(xi) Grievances’ redressal continued to be a priority area and as a result more than

90% grievances got redressed within 15 days. With 15 cr. membership, the grievances number of earlier more than 2 lac came down (though not sizably), but the number of pending grievances at app. 3000 was less than number of grievances received in 4 – 5 days. This is the best ever situation in the organization.

(xii) Employees’ interaction with EPFO became easier by launch of Universal

Account Number (UAN). 4.17cr. members were allotted UAN in July 2014 subsequent to budget announcement. With lot of hard work by field staff & close monitoring at headquarters level, KYC data (especially bank accounts) were captured in respect of more than 50% of the employees before launch of UAN. Subsequent software changes have brought EPFO to a stage that the Ministry has agreed to make it mandatory for any services by EPFO.

(xiii) Much attention was paid to accounts. More than 95% of the accounts were

updated before due date (30.09.2014) – it happened in the history of EPFO for the first time. The work of double entry accounting system was given to ICAI

209th CBT

8

ARF after the approval of the Executive Committee – with objective of getting 2015-16 balance sheet on double entry basis. CCPAP (Corporate Cheque Payment at Par) facility was launched – ensuring fraud less electronic payment. Significant number of accounts were reconciled bringing down the amount and number of negative entries in the system. Software development and systematic testing made EPFO to update all 15.5 cr. accounts pending on 31.03.2015 on 1.4.2015. This created history.

(xiv) SBI was persuaded enough to reduce their collection rates for the first time in

the history of EPFO – resulting into savings of Rs. 100 cr. for the organization. Further savings were ensured by increasing the collection through internet banking to 40%. The Ministry finally agreed to make it compulsory. It will result into further savings of Rs. 50 cr.

(xv) Over the years, the organization had not cleaned its data. A major initiative

was taken up in this regard. Management Information System data was updated & got corrected. It has resulted into scrapping of physical information collection w.e.f. 31.03.2015. Legal data software was launched. The relevant data was then captured and monitored online.

(xvi) Software for calculation of damages & interest was launched in November, 2013 which enabled EPFO to take up work pending for more than 10 years. Lacs of notices were issued to establishments under 7Q & 14 B. More than Rs.1000 cr. has been recovered due to these efforts.

(xvii) EPFO has gone into the mobile governance. Various facilities of the SMS are

available on mobile w.e.f. 16.09.2015. SMS facility, missed call facility have also been launched which has already been used by more than 50 lac subscribers as on 15.11.2015.

3.2 EPFO of future will be fully technology governed. It should meet expectations to all stakeholders as listed in Chapter 2. It shall function as smooth as a bank.

3.3 EPFO of future will have the accounts in double entry system & will maintain separate PF Account, Pension Account & EDLI Account of every subscriber.

3.4 EPFO of future will be able to encourage all its subscribers to use their PF accounts as social security deposits and not as savings bank account.

3.5 EPFO shall be able to make their subscribers aware of pension rights. In future 100% of the eligible subscribers will go for pension instead of pension withdrawal benefit as is the trend now.

3.6 EPFO of future will enable their establishments to have all interactions with EPFO online. It will provide all services in transparent way, even 7A process will be quite transparent & hassle free.

209th CBT

3.7 EPFO of future will have a centralized system of pension disbursement. The system will sanction pension automatically on attainment of pensionable age. It will ensure that pension goes to pensioner’s account on the first working day of month & pensioner can go to any EPFO office for services, if any required in physical format.

3.8 EPFO of future will deal with claims settlement online. Any subscriber will be able to approach any EPFO office to get his claim settled. Subscriber will also be enabled to get his claim settled online provided he/she has Aadhaar ID.

3.9 EPFO of future will monitor investment made by exempted trusts & will also bring all employees of exempted trusts on UAN portal. These employers will also be able to view their account statements on real time basis and online. They will also get ‘missed call’ & ‘SMS’ facility to know about their balances.

3.10 EPFO of future will link all unexempted & exempted establishments so that there is seamless movement between the establishments and the employees do not suffer due to movement from one establishment to the other.

3.11 EPFO of future will facilitate the establishments to get into exempted category without much hassle. The monitoring of exempted trusts will be more vigorous so that their employees’ interests are fully secure.

3.12 EPFO of future will be a centralized set up. All issues will be handled on a central database. This will help in making all services including pension sanction & claim settlement online.

3.13 EPFO of future will provide proper data for actuarial evaluation of the various schemes, which will provide a correct picture for considered decision making.

3.14 EPFO of future will have a different system for capturing social security benefits of international workers so that any benefit due to forfeiture should only arise to EPFO and not to private exempted establishments which is happening at present.

3.15 EPFO of future will have very less grievances. The present rate of grievances per year compared to the number of subscribers of 0.5% is expected to reduce to 0.1%.

3.16 EPFO of future will be able to recover 7Q & 14B charges on monthly basis. 7A notices will also get into automatic route & system will become more transparent.

CHAPTER 4

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS

4.1 The first three chapters do indicate functional requirements of the organisation. Over the years, especially in the recent past, there have been changes in the working of the EPFO. Centralization of the record will further bring a major change in the functioning of the organization. That is why the Committee has earlier recommended that the restructuring may be done after completion of centralization. EPFO of the future will only be one office with a centralized data set up. All other offices will actually work as spokes in the wheel with minimum roles of the hub.

4.2 Regional & Sub Regional Offices, which are the mainstay of EPFO in providing services to stakeholders, perform a number of functions. When asked to list the works of these offices that are supposed to be done; they talked of grievance redressal, court cases, pension work, claim settlement, RTI application, exemption cases, damages, intelligence, 7A cases, recovery, HR matters, cash section, accounts writing, coverage, Shram Suvidha Portal related work, inspections, digital signature work, getting filled up form 5A, challan reconciliation, cleaning of establishment member data, negative balances, Nidhi Aapke Nikat, attestation of claims, dak receipt, dak dispatch, answers to Parliament Questions, computer, EDP, Physical Facility Work, inoperative account work, public relations work etc.

4.3 Some efforts have been made to quantify the work being done by various regional/sub regional offices. It comes out that

(i) Every month the number of claims being settled by any field office is 3% of the number of contributory members.

(ii) Every month pension reference being dealt by Regional/Sub Regional Offices is 0.8% of the contributory members.

(iii) Every month grievances amount to 0.04% of contributory membership. (iv) Court cases at any point of time constitute 0.01% of contributory membership.

The new cases added are normally 0.002% of the contributing membership (v) EDLI claims settled every month amount to .007% of the contributory

membership.

4.4 The performance of Regional and Sub-Regional Offices are not satisfactory in certain area where expertise is lacking in the organization. One of such important function is monitoring of exempted establishments & their investment patterns. Though the process of filing returns and transfers of PF amounts has been facilitated online, the investment pattern of exempted establishments are not being monitored properly due to lack of expertise in the organization.

4.5 Monitoring of compliance functions by Regional/Sub Regional Offices are also far from satisfactory. More than 1,35,000 quasi-judicial inquiries are pending as on 31.3.2015. There are approximately 17,000 7A cases which may require some time for final disposal. The coverage and membership has gone down significantly and not much

209th CBT

11

efforts are being taken by all ROs/SROs, as they are mainly concentrated on services to subscribers only and clearing the past backlog in accounts.

4.6 It is reiterated that some of the significant works of the ROs/SROs are now getting centralized. The compilation of annual accounts is in a way centralized, as all the accounts were updated centrally on 1.4.2015. The centralization will also happen in all other fields of EPFO governance i.e. the claim settlement, pension, EDLI claims etc. Central Analysis & Intelligence Unit will bring compliance also on e-governance.

4.7 The above areas of work can be classified into the following main area:

(i) Coverage and Compliance (ii) Compliance by Exempted establishments (iii) Cash & accounts (iv) Claim settlement including pension and EDLI (v) Pension references

(vi) Grievance redressal, Public Awareness (vii) Legal and Court Work

(viii) General Administration (ix) Co-ordination & MIS (x) Dak, RTI and Receipt of claims.

4.8 Zonal offices are presently functioning as extended arms of the Head Office only for monitoring purposes. Some of the critics even call offices of ACCs as post offices as they only tend to send the Head Office correspondence to the Regional Offices and Sub Regional Offices and vice versa. One of the important functions of Zonal office is dealing with the transfers and postings of Enforcement Officers and Accounts Officers. This function has various pros & cons. There are serious allegations regarding the functions being performed by the Zonal ACCs as it does reduce the authority of the OICs of the Regional Offices and Sub Regional Offices who need to have full control over the Enforcement Officers.

4.9 Vigilance and Audit wings in the fields work presently work in silos and there is no linkage between them and the field offices, neither at the zonal level nor at the Regional and Sub Regional level. They are only physically located in the buildings of the Regional Offices and Sub Regional Offices but are working as separate verticals and reporting only to the Head Office at Delhi.

4.10 Two tribunals have been set up in the country for looking after the appellate tribunals cases. As per the orders of the Ministry, the staff is being provided by the EPFO. Therefore, there is a need to provide the same in the organizational restructuring.

4.11 The division of the work in EPFO is more or less State and Union Territory wise but there are some areas where there is a mismatch. The Union Territory of Pondicherry is covered in three different regions. Chandigarh is functionally part of Punjab. Data regarding the North Eastern States is not separately available. The need of the hour is that it needs to be segregated.

209th CBT

4.12 One of the functional requirements from the vigilance angle is that officers and officials should be rotated between the sensitive and non-sensitive posts but this rotation is not happening as most of the posts are only sensitive. Something needs to be done to meet this requirement too.

4.13 EPFO has National Academy of Training & Research in Social Security (NATRSS) at Delhi and Zonal Training Institutes at Faridabad, Ujjain, Chennai, Kolkata & Sub Zonal Training Institute at Shillong. These training institutes provide training to the work force of EPFO. Besides it also holds training camps for establishments, and employees. It holds training camps for exempted establishments.

4.14 Head Office has a lot of divisions such as Finance & Accounts, Investment, MIS, Vigilance, Human Resources Management, Pension, Information Service, Compliance, client service, Publicity, RTI, Exemption, Recovery, legal, Rajbhasha, Public Facility Division etc.. The work has increased multifold the staff strength of EPFO has increased; the legal work & court work has increased & more so the expectations of the stakeholders.

Chapter – 5

PROPOSED RESTRUCTURING

5.1 The Committee looked at stakeholders’ needs with regard to EPFO and EPFO’s vision for the future. The Committee also feels that in the time given, a separate study from some expert agency will not be possible. The Committee will again like to reiterate that it is not the best time for restructuring the organisation as it is in a state of flux and a number of changes are taking place. It would be better to concentrate on the changes at this point of time and go for restructuring thereafter. The Committee noted that presently the working of EPFO is not in sync with the processes and methodology adopted which is not a good sign for the organisation.

5.2 The Committee observed that the work of EPFO was not good in coverage and compliance. The number of contributory establishments has gone down significantly. The number of contributory members even after increase in the threshold of mandatory pay limit has not increased significantly. Even regard to cities like Delhi, Mumbai etc the number of contributory membership has not increased. The coverage of construction and contract workers is a major concern.

5.3 The Committee notes that EPFO has made significant improvement in Service and Grievance Redressal (pertaining to services). A number of processes have been computerised making the service delivery easy. The Committee recommends more staff in compliance area than the service area which has become computerised to a great extent.

5.4 The Committee gave an opportunity to Officers Association as well as Staff Federation to present their case. Both the Association and Federation gave presentation on their requirements before the Committee.

5.5 The Committee has gone through the work of Zonal Offices and noted that they have not made significant improvement in the working of the organisation. Perhaps the direction was missing. Later they have been clearly directed to work as extended arms of EPFO Head Quarter for monitoring and supervisory work. Accordingly the Zonal Offices were entrusted with the responsibility of monitoring the Audit Function, Legal, Vigilance, PFD and Administration. It is, therefore, proposed that the Vigilance and Audit Wing at Zonal levels, which at present is reporting directly to Head Quarters, shall henceforth be attached to the respective Zonal Offices and their function will also be monitored by the Zonal Offices.

5.6 The Committee felt that the present structure of Zonal Offices is grossly inadequate to handle the expected delivery of service by the Zones. Hence it is decided that the Zonal Vigilance and Audit can be attached to the respective Zonal Offices so that there will be a better mechanism to monitor the functioning of those divisions. Apart from the supervisory jurisdiction the Zonal Offices shall also handle the complaints received directly by them or referred by Head Office or received from any other source. Hence it is proposed that there shall be squad of EO attached to Zonal Offices to investigate such complaints. It is also proposed that the functioning of Legal Division within the Zone is required to be closely monitored by the Zonal Offices.

209th CBT

5.7 Taking into account the workload and other parameters such as topography of the area, concentration of industry etc, the Zonal Offices may be bifurcated into 13 (thirteen) Zones for better delivery of service and also for proper monitoring and review of performance of the field offices.

5.8 Accordingly the following Zones along with their respective Head Quarters are proposed by the Committee :

Zone Head Office Contributory Members

North East (Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura)

Guwahati 477985

Bihar & Jharkhand Ranchi 558341

UP & Uttarakhand Lucknow 1788092

Delhi & Haryana Delhi 3737035

West Bengal, Orrisa, Andaman & Sikkim

Kolkata 2598631

Rajasthan , Gujarat Daman & Diu Ahmedabad 2965341

Maharashtra (Mumbai) City Office Mumbai 3582170

Maharashtra other than City Office & Goa

Pune 2438022

Karnataka Bangalore 3604338

Tamil Nadu, Kerala & Pondicherry, Lakshadweep

Chennai 4798992

MP & Chhattisgarh Bhopal 1085587

Punjab & Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh

Chandigarh 1139519

AP & Telangana Hyderabad 2898924

5.9 The Committee noted that the workload in North East Region is not adequate enough for the creation of a Zone. However taking into account the special situation prevailing in North East States it will be better that all the seven states of the NER are bought under one Zone for better supervisory control.

5.10 While proposing the above said Zones, the Committee noted that the requirement of the Zones will vary from place to place and depending on the workload. According it is proposed that the Regions can be graded into following categories.

A Zonal Office with contributing membership

of more than 25 lakhs contributing members

5.11 The Zonal Offices are handling basically monitoring functions. They are also handling certain delegated financial and administrative powers. The Zonal Office further handles PFD and appellate function in disciplinary cases.

5.12 In the proposed structure of the Zonal offices the following functions are also being added to Zonal office functions:-

a. Monitoring of disposal of Audit Paras b. Monitoring of Vigilance cases c. Monitoring of Recovery and Exemption Cases d. Monitoring of Legal Cases e. Administrative inspection of Field offices. f. Squad verification of Complaints

5.13 To handle additional workload there is a need to strengthen the Zonal Offices with adequate manpower at all levels. The consolidated proposed manpower for the Zonal Office is furnished below:

13 8 13 34 52 26 84 21

5.14 The detailed manpower requirement for Zonal Offices excluding Vigilance and Audit are enclosed as Annexure ‘I’

5.15 The field offices handle the original work in EPFO. The ROs and SROs in EPFO handle the basic work of coverage and enrolment of eligible employees, recover the dues, account it to the respective members and return to the members at the time of retirement. These offices also handle the work of pension as well as EDLI. In the recent past there is a lot of change in the way EPFO is working in view of IT enable service delivery. This has shifted the focus of EPFO from service delivery to compliance.

5.16 The Committee noticed that in many of the Sub Regional offices the work has already crossed more than the work load in some of the Regional Offices. For proper handling of the work in those offices it is suggested that the following Sub Regional Office can be upgraded to Regional Offices :

5.17 The Committee has also noticed that the workload in some of the Regional Offices has crossed 10 lakhs. Monitoring the performance of these offices will become difficult and the performance of the such offices are also not upto the mark in various parameters. Further the workloads in these are also increasing at a higher rate. These offices are

Office Workload

Pune 1193584

Chennai 1223330

5.18 The Committee feels that for effective management, these offices shall be bifurcated. It is felt that Bandra can be bifurcated into three Regions and other Regional Office can be bifurcated into two Regional Offices. The Committee also feels that the workload of Chennai can be re-distributed among other office in Chennai. The Committee is informed that the present technology available with EPFO doesn’t permit such bifurcation and the same can be done after centralisation of the various processes by the Information Service Division.

5.19 After deliberations the Committee decided to fix parameters in the following important functional areas in the field offices to decide the actual requirement of workforce in various cadres.

(i) Coverage and Compliance (ii) Compliance by Exempted establishment

(iii) Cash and Accounts (iv) Claim settlement including pension and EDLI (v) Pension references

(vi) Grievance Redressal ,Public Awareness (vii) Legal and Court Work

(viii) General Administration (ix) Co-ordination and MIS (x) Dak & RTI, and Receipt of claims

vi. OA No.4281/2011 in the case of Sh. Harish Makhija Vs Union of India & others. The

Hon’ble CAT, Principal Bench, New Delhi vide order dated 20.05.2014 directed that

the reservation roster is not applicable on restructuring of Stenographer Cadre.

This has since been clubbed with the case of WP No. 3996/2014 filed by Darshan

Kumar & others against the order of CAT in OA No. 3623/2011 on similar issue. A

stay has been granted by High Court on the operation of CAT order.

VI. It is settled from various Court Judgments that the restructuring have to be made

effective from 14.07.1997. Further, during the period 14.07.1997 to 01.01.1999 i.e. the date

of approval of restructuring and prior to the notification of new Recruitment Rules, the re-

structured posts were required to be fill up on the basis of regional seniority and Old

Recruitment Rule. The same was accepted by EPFO as well. However it appears that due care

was not taken while effecting promotion to the upgraded/created post of PS/PA. The

availability of Recruitment Rules is very crucial requirement for promotion. As the post of

Private Secretary was newly created, there was no Recruitment Rule available before its

notification i.e. 02.01.1999. While effecting the promotion to the post of Private Secretary

w.e.f. 14.07.1997 errors committed as under:

i. There was no Recruitment Rule before 02/01/1999 for the restructured post of

Private Secretary as this was a newly created post

ii. Promotions were effected to the post of Private Secretary taking into account the

Recruitment Rule for Sr. PA to CPFC

iii. The basis behind this was that the pay scale of PS & Sr. PA to CPFC was same

iv. The provisions of Recruitment Rule of Sr. PA to CPFC were not taken into account in

totality

v. The very crucial fact with regard to eligible service in feeder cadre i.e. Personal

Assistant (which is 4 years of service for being eligible for consideration to the post of

Sr. PA to CPFC) was completely ignored

vi. Officials having Nil service in the cadre of Personal Assistant were also promoted to

the post of Private Secretary

VII. Similar error was also committed while effecting the promotion to the post of

Personal Assistant as promotion were effected from Stenographer-III treating them as feeder

cadre instead of Stenographer-II which was actual feeder cadre for promotion to the post of

Personal Assistant. Further, against the sanctioned post of 52 in the cadre of Private

Secretary, total 57 promotions were made and all were w.e.f. 14.07.1997.

VIII. As it is evident that any promotion effected to the post of Private Secretary prior to

the notification of Recruitment Rule i.e. 02.01.1999 is not in order. It is also evident from

Court judgment that promotion effected from 02.01.1999 onwards should have been made

only by operating All India Seniority List.

IX. This has been admitted by Organisation vide order dated 03.07.2008, issued in the

matter of OA No. 867/2007 CAT, Principal Bench. In the said order, it was admitted that the

decision approving the recommendation of DPC held on 28.09.2006 (for Private Secretary) in

implementing the judgement in B. T. Krishna Rao case (OA No. 237/2004) was erroneous.

The promotion against the vacancies existed after 02.01.1999 ought to have been considered

only on the basis of All India Seniority list. All the vacancies after 02.01.1999 in the grade of

PS and PA therefore need to be reviewed.

X. However, CAT, Principal Bench, in the matter of OA No. 1955/2008, vide order dated

28.04.2009 has set aside the above order dated 03.07.2008 of Central PF Commissioner.

Organisation has filed appeal before Hon’ble High Court Delhi, WP(C) 493/2010, against the

order dated 28.04.2009 of CAT, Principal Bench. Vide proceeding dated 18.04.2013, High

Court has commented as under:

“…As arguments proceeded, utter confusion was occurred. Partly the reason is the

sketch decision of the Tribunal and a non-reasoned decision dismissing review

sought thereof…”

Vide proceeding dated 30.07.2013 High Court has ordered as under:

1. Order of CAT, Principal Bench in OA No. 1955/2008 remains stayed.

2. Writ Petition (C) No. 493/2010 – Rule DB

XI. As the High Court has not only stayed the operation of CAT, Principal Bench order

dated 28.04.2009 but also commented adversely for dismissing the review sought by Central

PF Commissioner. Thus the order dated 03.07.2008 of Central PF Commissioner has revived

which states that promotion to the post of Private Secretary ought to have been considered

only on the basis of All India Seniority list.

XII. Accordingly, as per available records, a list of officials in the Stenographer cadre as on

02.01.1999 is arranged in the order of seniority on All India Basis.

This list includes all those officials who were on the roll as on 02.01.1999 as well as

between 14.07.1997-02.01.1999. The methodology adopted is as under:

i. At the top, taken Sr. PA to CPFC, which was only one in number. (S. No. 1)

ii. Thereafter, taken erstwhile Stenographer Grade-I/PA en-bloc and arranged in

descending order of their respective seniority. (S. No. 2-11)

iii. Thereafter, taken erstwhile Stenographer Grade-II en-bloc and arranged in

descending order of their respective seniority. (S. No. 12-50)

iv. Thereafter, taken erstwhile Stenographer Grade-III en-bloc and arranged in

descending order of their respective seniority. (S. No. 51-255)

XIII. While going through this list of 255 officials (arranged in seniority on All India

Basis), it is observed that total 57 officials were promoted to the post of Private Secretary

w.e.f. 14.07.1997 against the sanctioned post of 52. As the promotion effected to the post of

Private Secretary prior to the notification of its Recruitment Rule i.e. 02.01.1999 is not in

order, these promotions are required to be shifted from 14.07.1997 to 02.01.1999. This

shifting of promotions to a later date will results in re-fixation of pay and allowances

accordingly. At this junction, it is pertinent to mention that though the promotions to the

post of Private Secretary were effected from 14.07.1997, upgraded pay and allowances were

released only from 26.09.2000 as per direction of Hon’ble CAT. For the period 14.07.1997 to

25.09.2000, fixation benefits were extended on notional basis. Further, these officials were

also granted the benefits of NFSG on notional basis from 03.10.2003 and with monetary

benefit from 04.10.2007. Thus, the excess pay and allowances paid on account of erroneous

promotions made w.e.f. 14.07.1997 will cease from 04.10.2007 i.e. on grant of benefits under

NFSG.

XIV. The excess payments of pay and allowance already disbursed to these officials may

not be recovered in terms of order of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the matter of Civil

Appeal No. 11527 of 2014 arising out of SLP (C) No. 11684 of 2012. The Hon’ble apex court

has summarised the following few situations wherein recoveries by employees would be

impermissible in law:

i. Recovery from employees belonging to Class-III and Class-IV service (or Group ‘C’ and

Group ‘D’ service).

ii. Recovery from retired employees, or employees who are due to retire within one

year, of the order of recovery.

iii. Recovery from employees, when excess payment has been made for a period in excess

of five years, before the order of recovery is issued.

iv. Recovery in cases where an employee has wrongfully been required to discharge

duties of a higher post, and has been paid accordingly, even though he should have

rightfully been required to work against an inferior post.

XV. As the officials to be considered for promotion to the post of Private Secretary were

not having the requisite qualifying service in feeder cadre as on 02.01.1999, a initial fitment

clause, relaxing the qualifying service, is required to be inserted in the Recruitment Rules of

Private Secretary notified on 02.01.1999.

Proposal 1:

Under 'initial fitment a new para as 7 (e) be inserted as following:-

“The Recruitment Rules for Private Secretary was notified on 02.01.1999. The

former officials in the cadre of Personal Assistant/Stenographer Grade-

I/Stenographer Grade-II/Stenographer Grade-III who are on the roll as on

02.01.1999 will be considered for promotion to the post of Private Secretary

without taking into account of eligible qualifying service.”

XVI. Further, while going through this list of 255 officials (arranged in seniority on

All India Basis) it is observed that last official promoted to the post of Private Secretary is

placed at serial no. 120. Out of these 120 officials, 52 PS can be adjusted against sanctioned

post of 52. This leaves behind some 68 officials who were not promoted in spite of being

senior to the official placed at serial no. 120. Thus, to provide natural justice, these left out 68

officials are required to be promoted to the post of Private Secretary and be placed above

their respective juniors. .

However, it is also observed that 10 officials were either removed from service on

account of disciplinary proceeding/left EPFO/changed the cadre. These officials are NOT

required to be promoted to the post of Private Secretary.

Thus, total 58 officials, who were senior to the last official promoted to the post of

Private Secretary, are required to be promoted w.e.f 02.01.1999 by creating supernumerary

post by relaxing the provision of Recruitment Rules.

Proposal 2:

58 posts in the cadre of Private Secretary be created as on 02.01.1999 on supernumerary

basis for consideration of promotion of officials to the post of Private Secretary.

XVII. The total number of officials holding the post of Private Secretary as on 02.01.1999

becomes 110(52 sanctioned & 58 supernumerary). However, during the period from

02.01.1999 to till date, 35 officials from the said list of 110 PS are not in the cadre either due

to promotion to higher post/retired/voluntary retired/death.

Further, 15 posts of Private Secretary were created by 78th Executive Committee held

on dated 05.03.2014. Therefore, the total posts of Private Secretary already consumed till

date would be 50(35 vacated & 15 created) out of total 58 to be created. Thus, the total

number of officials who will still holding the post of Private Secretary as on today will be 75

against the revised sanctioned posts of 67. These leaves only 08 officials who will be still

holding the post of Private Secretary on supernumerary basis. These supernumerary posts

will also be consumed on further creation of equal or more posts in the cadre of PS.

XVIII. The total financial liability in respect of 58 posts of PS to be created on

supernumerary basis has been calculated. Out of total 58 posts to be created, 04 are already

working as PS and thus no additional financial liability will be accrued in respect of these 04

officials. Further, 07 officials are already retired /VRS /expired. Thus in respect of these 7

officials only increase in pension liability has been calculated. The total arrear financial

liability in respect of these 7 officials comes to the tune of Rs. 4.31 lakhs plus admissible

allowances (approx.). The total current financial liability in respect of 54 officials comes to

the tune of Rs. 1,23,126/- plus admissible allowances per month as on date.

XIX. EPFO vide notification No. HRD/2(4)83.Voll.II dated 25.01.2002 and 08.02.2003

published in Gazette of India part-III, Section 4, has provided a initial fitment in the

Recruitment Rules notified on 02.01.1999 for appointment of Personal Assistant. Further,

this fitment enables all Personal Assistants prior to the date of notification i.e. 02.01.1999 to

be fitted in the cadre of Private Secretary w.e.f. 02.01.1999. As these notifications are no

more relevant in view of present proposal, they are required to be repealed.

Proposal 3:

Notification No. HRD/2(4)83.Voll.II dated 25.01.2002 and 08.02.2003 published in

Gazette of India part-III, Section 4, be repealed.

XX. Similar action is required in the cadre of Personal Assistant also. On going

through the list of officials arranged in the order of All India Seniority, it is observed that last

official promoted to the post of Personal Assistant is placed at serial no. 189. This official was

not having the requisite length of service in the feeder cadre as on 02.01.1999. Thus to

extend the benefit of promotion to long stagnated stenographers (15-20 years), a initial

fitment clause, relaxing the qualifying service, is required to be inserted in the Recruitment

Rules of Personal Assistant notified on 02.01.1999.

Proposal 4:

Under 'initial fitment a new para as 7 (f) be inserted as following:-

“The Recruitment Rules for Personal Assistant was notified on 02.01.1999. The

former officials in the cadre of Stenographer Grade-III who are on the roll as on

02.01.1999 will be considered for promotion to the post of Personal Assistant

without taking into account of eligible qualifying service.”

By operation of this initial fitment clause, 103 officials from serial no. 121-237 would

be promoted to the post of Personal Assistant against the sanctioned posts of 103.

It is also observed that 14 officials from serial no. 121-237 were either left

EPFO/changed the cadre. These officials are NOT required to be promoted to the post of

Personal Assistant.

XXI. Impact on acceptance of above proposal 1,2,3 & 4:

Officials stagnating for almost 20 years will be benefitted.

Cadre will be set right and regular recruitment by way of promotion, departmental

exam & direct recruitment can be made effective.

Huge resentment in the cadre will come to end.

ISSUE ‘B’

I. The last restructuring in the cadre was attempted in the year 1997 vide 23rd

meeting of Executive Committee (held on 14.07.1997) which is as under:

S.No. Name of Post No. of posts Sanctioned

1 Private Secretary 52

2 Personal Assistant 103

3 Stenographer 103

II. Since year 1997, the number of offices and officers has been increased considerably and it

is almost doubled which can be seen as under:

*Two(2) posts in the rank of Joint Secretary and Ten(10) post in PB-IV having Grade

pay 0f Rs 8900/- created in the year 2014.

III. Considering the huge increase in the number of offices and officers, the subject

matter of restructuring is under discussion for quite some time. As an interim measure,

Executive Committee in its 78th meeting, held on 05.03.2014, was pleased to create 15 posts

of Private Secretary, 30 posts of Personal Assistant & 30 posts of Stenographers and also

desired that comprehensive cadre restructuring be expedited.

The issue has been examined in the light of three sets of pattern which are as under:

i. Pattern followed by DoP&T (for Ministry & for Attached Offices).

ii. Pattern followed by ESIC

iii. Pattern followed by EPFO vide its circular dated 22.09.1999 issued in implementation

of cadre restructuring approved by Executive Committee in its 23rd meeting held on

22.09.1999, issued in implementation of cadre restructuring approved by Executive

Committee in its 23rd meeting held on 14.07.1997. As the basic function of Stenographer

cadre is to assist the officer with whom they are attached, the methodology adopted to arrive

the cadre strength is as under:

i. One PPS each to the rank of officer of SAG and above

ii. One PS each to the rank of officer from JAG and below SAG

iii. One PA each to the rank of officer of STS holding the post on substantive basis
