There is fairly as much as 1.35 lakhs of employees and workers covered under the Employees Provident Fund Act.\u00a0 They are working in nearby 2000 establishments in Kanyakumari District. Moreover, lakhs of workers are there in unorganized sector and it is learnt that the Government of India is contemplating to bring them also in the purview of EPF Act.\u00a0 These workers, at present, have to solely depend upon the Sub-Regional provident fund office at Tirunelveli, some 150 kilometres away from Nagercoil for their PF needs.\u00a0 This involves unnecessary expenditure and loss of time for the lowly paid workers.\u00a0The EPF contributors will be much obliged if a Sub-Regional Office of Provident Fund is opened at Nagercoil, the Headquarters of Kanyakumari District.\u00a0 It will be much more economical for the Government also, as it is not a new establishment.\u00a0 It is only a bifurcation of the existing Sub-Regional Office at Tiruneveli[mks69]\u00a0.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lok Sabha Debates Need For Bifurcating Of Sub-Regional Provident Fund Office At &#8230; on 9 December, 2005 &gt; Title: Need for bifurcating of Sub-regional Provident Fund Office at Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu and opening of Sub-regional Provident Fund Office at Nagarcoil.
