The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has registered 2,220 workers under the Social Security Act, expanding coverage for employees across the country.
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) announced that it has enrolled 2,220 workers under the Social Security Act, a move aimed at extending social security benefits to a broader segment of the workforce.
The Social Security Act is designed to provide financial protection to workers in the informal sector, ensuring they receive pension, medical, and other welfare benefits.
EPFO’s enrollment process involves registering workers and linking them to the national pension scheme, thereby creating a safety net for millions who previously lacked formal coverage.
This step is part of the government’s broader effort to strengthen the social security framework and promote inclusive growth.
The enrolment is expected to boost the number of beneficiaries under the national pension scheme, enhancing financial security for workers across the country.
