Subject:. Cancellation 'of un-encashed cheques., ". -.....
Sir,
There are instances when cheques are issued to the beneficiaries underthe Employees' Provident Fund scheme but the same remained un-encashed formore than their validity period i.e. six months. These un-encashed cheques arereported to be not cancelled In the cash books for want of non payment certificatefrom State Bank of India. This was basically because of provisions contained inpara 7.25(12) of Manual of Accounting Procedure (Paryl-General.)_,.'.--r----:--- . . _ _.._-:- _.~2. This issue has been examined in Corporate Headquarters of Employees'Provident Fund Organisation. In this connectionfu has been decided that fromnow onwards any cheque which remains un-enc~~d for more than six monthsperiod should be cancelled In the cash book by showing minus entry In red Inkafter verifying the' bank statements, o~ not only of that partlcularaccount fromwhich the cheque was Issued but from bank statements of other.' accounts also.After verifying, if it is found that the cheque Is not cleared, it should be cancelledand intimation should be sent to the Accounts Section for Information. Anintimation to the bank should also be sent for stopping payment of that particularcheque as a measure of caution)
3. On receipt of this Intimation from cash/section, the accounts section should 11immediately recredit the amO! lOt in members! account as if the amount was never .sanctioned or the sanction was cancelled .This means the member should beattoweOTriterest on the amount continuously without any break at the rate ofinterest declared from time. to time. This may be done invariably in all caseswithout taking into account whether the cheque remained un-encashed due to thefault of member or otherwise.jj
V .,') .4. It is, therefore, advised that immediate action should be taken to cancel allthe un-encashed cheques as above and recredit the amount In members' accountby providing up-to-date Interest. This work should be taken on top priority and becompleted within one month i.e. by 31st.May, 2002. A compliance reportaccordingly be sent to Corporate HeadquartersjNew Delhi.
Kindly acknowlecce the receipt. '

A copy of the same is enclosed herewith forready reference.
In the above referred circular, it has been clarified that!rem nowonwards anycheque which remains un-cashed for more than six months period should becancelled in the cash book by shOwingminus er.try in red ink after verifying thebank statements, of not only of that particular account from which the cheque wasissued but from the bank statements of other accounts also. After verifying, if itis found that the cheque is not cleared, it should be cancelled and intimation shouldbe sent to the Accounts Section for information. An intimation to the bank shouldalso be sent for stopping payment of that particular cheque as a measure ofcaution.•
It is informed that after expiry of six months from the date of issue of cheque,bank is not supposed to honor the chequeand the same shall be returned back as perprevailingbanking laws. In case it is wronglyhonored by the bank than EPFOcan get theamoUntreversed back in to its cceoent from the concerned bank brunch.The intimationto be given to bank is to facilitate the bank and not to get any favour from thebank.

Sub: Allocation of funds out of SRF to defaulting establishments - Manual ofAccounting procedure- Clar-ification - Reg.
Sir.
Please refer to the Provisions relating to Special Reserve fund in chapter 6 of theManual of Accounting Procedure Part-II-A & JI-B. A plain reading of Paras 6.3. I (vi) and6.3.1. (vii) leads to ambiguous interpretation on the issue of payment to employees of theexempte1stablishments out of the "Special Reserve FW1d"maintained ~Y the eBT EPF
Jrara 6.3.1 Jlli).of the Manual of Accounting Procedure, reads a! "Payment fr0l7111eSpecial Reserve Fund is however; to be made only in respect of the amount due fromuncxemptcd estsblisbmcnt" -
L /' ./ \V,t'~ra 6,3.1 (vii) of the Manual of Accounting Procedure reads as "payment from the \
Spc'cial Reserve Fund. /Jowel(e.r be made in the case of an .employee of an excmp~ed Icstebtisbment. In respect of iJJS .shsre deducted and not peid by the employer before Icancellation otexemption. .. /-------.' .
In view of Para 63.1 (vii) of the Manual of Accounting Procedure Part !I-A & 11-8.<ii'ssistance from the Special Reserve FW1d is made available to the members of defaultingexempted establishments, after cancellation of the exemptj~
, However the legal advisor has opined th~the Special Reserve Fund with theCB.T. is a separate fund over-which exempted establishments heve no claim or on.vlegal relationship and hence the Special Resen'e Fund c.annot be utilized for liab1Jjtj~sof the Exempted Trust>

r: SUbject: Grant of "Permanent Total Disablement Pension" under Para 15 of Employees'Pension Scheme 1995.
Attention is invited to Head Office Circular No. Pensionl2/4/Clarificationl 961115265-115412 dated 24th March, 1999 vide which the instructions were issued for processing cases ofPermanent and Total Disablement Pension and two proformae were prescribed, one for makingreference to Medical Board and another for the use of Medical Board to give its report. Among otherinstructions, an instructionwas meritioned i.e. disablement need be total i.e. 100%.
In view of above instructions, field offices were rejecting the cases wherever the disabilitywas mentioned less than 100% by the Medical Boards. This resulted into litigation and complaints tohigher authorities. This matter has been re-examined. Para 15(3) of EPS' 1995 provides that amember applying for benefits under this paragraph shall be required to undergo such medicalexamination as may be prescribed by the Central Board to determine whether or not he or she ispermanent and totally unfit for the employment which he or she was doing at the time of suchdisablement. This means that the workman to be eligible for this benefit must have permanent totaldisablement for the employment which he or she was doing at the time of disablement irrespective ofthe fact that he/she may be less than 100% medically disabled,
In view of above it has been decided to process the cases for providingbenefits under Para 15of EPS' 95 where Medical Board certifies that the workman has permanent total disablement for theemployment in which he was engaged at the time of attracting disablement even if the said workmanis otherwise less than 100% medically disabled. Accordingly, the proformae for referring the casesto Medical Board and the report of Medical Board are modified. The new revised proformae(Annexure -I & IT) are enclosed for use by the field offices. To fill up point No.7 in Annexure-I i.e.nature of work/duties performed by the member immediately prior to disablement, a certificate tothat effect be obtained from the employer in Form No. 10-D. The relevantpart of Form No.I O-D isrevised and a copy of the same is enclosed (Annexure-Ill). The existing Form No. 10-D available instock be suitably modified either by putting a rubber stamp or by pasting a slip. In future, the revisedForm No. 10-D should be printed.
It is hereby again made clear that cases for benefits under Para 15 of EPS' 95 be processedfor sanction, if Permanent Total Disablement is with regard to the employment in which he wasengaged even if the s~d workman is not 100% disabled otherwise.

Subject:- Doing away with the practice ofPre-auditing ofIDS ofForm 10-0 /Form 10-C at Pension Section
Sir,
Based on the deliberations in the RPFC's Conference heldduring 30-31 st Jan. 2009, it has been decided to do away with the practice ofPre-auditing of the input Data Sheet in the Pension Section with an aim toreduce the time taken for settlement of pension cases especially in the processof pre-auditing.
The following alternative procedure has to be followed withimmediate effect: -
1. After the approval of the Input Data Sheet (IDS) by the concernedAPFC (Accounts), the same would be forwarded along with the claim& enclosures directly to another designated APFC, preferably the linkofficer of the approving APFC (Accounts), who would counter checkthe lDS, at his own level without involving any lower officials, andcertify at the respective places in the Form IO-D & IDS meant forAPFC (Pension-Pre-Audit).
2. After the counter check, the IDS and the claim would be returned backto the Dealing Hand, who would then forward the same to the EDPcentre far preparation of work sheet.
3. On receipt of worksheet from EDP, the AAO(Accounts) wouldapprove the same, get the draft ppo/se prepared through EDP andforward the same alongwith the lDS, Claim form, worksheet andnecessary enclosures to Pension Section. .
4; The APFC Pension would scrutinize the draft PPO/SC, get the final~..\PPO/SC prepared and approve the same)
C:\O 1PENSION (L&m\S~TTERS.doc
\ ~-----~
- ._--.....------ /-,--.-.~- - -"-
However, in the case of Transfer out cases, the TDS & the claimwould be directly sent to APFC (Pension) after the counter check. which willthen be forwarded to the concemed office by the APFC (Pension) as hisspecimen signature is available in all these offices. Similarly in the case ofTransfer-In cases, the Pension Section itself would get the workshectprepared and PPO generated a: being done now.
Therefore, there will not be any Pension Pre-Audit Sectionseparately henc forth and the office may restructure the pension section asper their requirement with a view to increase the operational efficiency. Thepension section shall carry out all other functions as usual, like Disburserneutof Pension Payments, Reconciliation. Updating Life/Non Re-marriageCertificates, Compilation ofR tum te.
All care needs to be taken by the APFC(Accounts) whoapproves the lDS, to ensure that the case is eligible for pension and correct ill
all respects.
(This issues with the approval of PF )

,Sir,
Attention is invited to the provisions of para-12(7) of E.P.S-95 which are reproducedbelowc-
"A member if he so desires, may be allowed to draw monthly reduced pension from adate earlier than 58 years of age but not earlier than 50 years of age. In such cases, theamount of pension shall be'reduced @ 3% for every year the age falls short of 58 years. "
Since Vte reduced pension under para 12(7) earlier to the age of 58 years is strictlyin accordance with desire of the member to draw pension at reduced rate after discountingat prescribed rate, it will be appropriate to regulate it in accordance with the choiceexpressed by the member and any decision for regulating it administratively either fromthe following date of exit or from the date of filing the application form will be relatively~_ and may not suit everyone's requirement as the payment of reduced pensioninvolves financial implications.
A member can exercise option in case of reduced pension from any of the followingdate for commencement of pension.
• Date of exit from service on completion of 50 years of age.• Date of filing of claim application in Fonn-lOD.• Any date between the date of exit on completion of 50 years and date of 58
years .
. It has come to the notice of this office that even though a column has beenincorporated in Form 10 D for date 'of option for commencement of pension as per.the instructions contained in the office circular no. Pens-IJ7 11/2000IPt. Dt.13.11.2000, certain member pensioners who had applied for reduced pension aredisputing on the date of commencement of pension and seeking release of pensionfrom the date of exit from service at a later stage .
... _--------
The matter has therefore been re-examined/reviewed and it has been decided th: t irorder to avoid Iitiga"tion in future, the reduced P 'J sion may b allowed from a prosp tivedate or from the date of submi sion of claim application in EPFO for which suit. ble noteindicating the implication of early pension may be incorporated in the instruction noteattached to Form 10D and indication j this regard below column 8 (a) in Form 10 D it elfOD the following lines:-
TO BE INCORPQRATED IN TilE lNSTRUCTJONS AITACHEJ) TO FORft-t 10D
"In reduced pension cases the mo mt of pension shall be reduced @ 3 Yo for everyyear the age falls short of 58 years, Therefore. member who attains SO years or more anddesires to draw reduced pension before attaining 58 years, may exercise option for reducedpension either from the date of submission of claim application or from a prospective datein order to avoid reduction in quantu of pension amount and • vail 3% gain for everyyear of postponing the commencement of reduced pension and get maximum benefit. Soplease quote either any prospective date or date of submission of claim application as dateof option for commencement of reduced pension at column 8(a) ill Form 10D.

Subject.- Contribution on saJary exceeding the statutory limit (Para 11(3» ofEPS'95
Attention is invited to the following circulars:-
1. Circular NO.PenJ4(2)96/SLP/Vol.VI16598 dated 26.6.2004.2. Letter No. PenA (38).96/WB/59867 dated 1.12.2004.3. Circular NO.PenIMisc12006No1.I dated 25.4.2006.
Instructions have already been issued by this office on the issue of contributingon a pay exceeding the statutory limit under Para 11(3) of the Employees' PensionScheme, 1995. However, the field offices are finding it difficult to take decisions. As aresult this office has been receiving a number of references from field offices, not tospeak of the volley of grievances being aired by the members through various channels.Therefore it has become necessary for this office to issue guidelines in a more clear term.
While deciding the issue the following provisions may be kept in mind:
1) Under EPS there is no contribution payable separately. Under Para 3 of theEPS, from and out of the contributions payable by the employer in each monthunder Section 6 of the Act, the employer shall remit a part of contributionrepresenting 8.33 percent of the Employees pay to the EPS. Therefore, it isonly the employer's share of contribution payable under Employees ProvidentFund Scheme, 1952 that is being diverted to EPS to the extent as aforesaid.
2) Accordingly, the option to contribute on a pay exceeding statutory limit isavailable to a member only under Para 26(6) of the Employees Provident. Fund Scheme, 1952 and not under Para 11(3) of the EPS.
'-.-.--..~-- .•..
3) In fact Para 11(3) clarifies the methodology of determination of pensionablealary only
4) incc opting to contribute on higher pay to I-:PS means a contribution onhigher pay to Provident Fund a: "veil, Para lIe) pr ivision \\ ill apply to onlysuch of those employees who have been contributing on' higher pay underPara 26(6) of the Employee. Provident Fund Scheme, 1952.
,\ccordingl the grievance. may be cla sified into the following categories andthe issue' be decided
I. In all such cases where the employe has contributed over and above thestatutory limit either from 16 ~ 1996 or from the month in which his salaryexceeded the limit after having ex rcised hi option and the same having beenaccepted by the Office, the pensionable salary will be based on such salaiv
2. If the option Via not exercised at the time of salarv crossing the statutory limitor on 16.3.1996, a' the ea e may be and th contribution was deposited onsalary exceeding the limit after receiving instruction from the Office beforethe date of issue of circular dated 2262004, the department has the vicariousliability (restricted to the pe it! case only) of honouring such a commitmentand hence the pcnsionable salan _hall be on the actual salat y i.e on the salary(exceeding the tatutory limit) on \ -hich the contribution "as paid. However,this i. ubject to i) a satisfactory e. planation to be obtained and taken onrecord from the officer who made uch a cornrrutment. ii) {he employer hax ingremitted the administration charges an other contribution: en sue h highersalary.
3. Tn the cases where no option wa gi en or no comrnitrnen \: 'as made by theconcerned Office, but the contribution on higher pay \\ as deposited by theestablishment/ employee, on their own s ch excess contributions will beconsidered as erroneou contributions and the pensionable salary wil! berestricted to the tatutory ceiling existing from time to time
J/
o all field office are reque ted to con ider the grievance: voiced under ParaI 1(3) in accordance with the above clarification and decide the issues at their levelwithout referring them to the Head Office unnecessarily.
(This issues with the approval of CPFC)
