JAMMU: The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), Jammu will be hosting Nidhi Aapke Nikat 2.0, an outreach and awareness program aimed at sensitizing employers and employees about the benefits and provisions of social security schemes.
The program will take place on 27th December 2024 at the Conference Hall, DC Office, Rajouri, Jammu, starting from 10:45 AM onwards.
The event will be personally attended by the P.F. Commissioner, Jammu, who will address grievances and concerns raised by workers, employers, and establishments.
A key feature of the program is the provision of handholding support to those facing difficulties related to EPFO services. The program aims to create awareness about social security schemes including Provident Fund (PF), Pension, and Insurance, and to inform participants on how to file grievances through platforms like EPFiGMS, CPGRAMS, and others.
Various topics will be covered, including Digital Services, fraud prevention, employee rights, and the importance of e-Nominations and online claim filing. A special Pension Help Desk will be set up to address pension-related grievances and provide on-the-spot resolutions. Additionally, the program will emphasize the need for UAN activation, bank & Aadhaar seeding, and filing of ECR.
The P.F. Commissioner has urged subscribers, pensioners, employers, industry representatives, and employees’ organizations to actively participate and contribute their feedback and suggestions. The program will also highlight significant EPFO initiatives such as the Principal Employer Dashboard and KYC updates in UAN.
This initiative is part of EPFO’s continued effort to ensure the widespread implementation of Social Security benefits for workers in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, a service that has been in effect since November 2019.
