who are the members of the provident fund are also members of pension scheme these
measures enable employees and his family to lead a comfortable life and face financial
hardships
Provident fund and pension schemes are social security measures undertaken keeping in view
the footer of industrial workers after their retirement or for their independent in case of death
in early age.

provident fund is a social security scheme in which compulsory contribution if both the
employer and employee is necessary the objectives behind this scheme was to provide some
relief and benefits either to the employee after their retirement or to his dependants in case of
his death
In RSPL 12% contribution of employer is necessary and employee can contribute up to 55%.
A part of salary is paid to the employees and remaining is paid in instalment as per
convenience of the company the trust also sanction loan to the employees of RSPL .out of the
amount of provident fund contribution collected from the employees and that amount is
totally non-refundable i.e. loan taken from the employees is not taken back and that is
deducted from the amount of provident fund received from employees and the interest is
payable on the balance amount remaining in the provident fund account.
Although provident fund is an effective old age and survivorship benefits but in case where
death of employee is at early age, say after putting in a couple of years of decade service, the
accumulation in the provident fund at the credit of such employee would be too meagre and
the family would be deriving little benefits from the fund
The government gave the matter a serious thinking to find out the ways and means by which
the futures interests of a family in distress can be safeguarded after the earning member
makes an exit before he reaches the age of retirement.
An employee’s provident fund has been created for this purpose by diverting a portion of the
employer’s contributions to the provident fund
Keywords: EPF i.e. employee provident fund; EPS i.e. employee pension scheme; PPF i.e.
public provident fund; ESIC i.e. employee state insurance cooperation; NSDC i.e. national
skill development corporation.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
PROVIDENT FUND
It is a non-security fund and it is the form of saving there are mainly four types of provident
fund statutory provident fund, recognized provident fund, unrecognized provident fund and
public provident fund.

maintain this fund in statutory provident fund, contribution from the employer is
exempt from tax. Deduction under section 80c of employee’s contribution is available
to the interest credited to the provident fund which is exempt from tax and the lump
sum amount which is paid at time of retirement is also exempt on tax
2. RECOGNIZED PROVIDENT FUND
Recognized provident fund is referred in this manner because it is recognized by the
commissioner if income tax act when the commissioner of income tax recognizes this
fund, it becomes recognized also contributed to in the same way as statutory provident
fund i.e. both by the employer and the employee contribution of employer and
employee and interest are also exempt but up to a certain limit.
3. UNRECOGNIZED PROVIDENT FUND

under section 80c is not available to the Investor the Interest which is received in
respect of the employees own contributions at the time of retirement is also taxable.

provided for non-salaried people to mobilize personal savings any person from the
public, whether salaried or self-employed, can open a public provident fund account

does not contribute but relief under section 80 is available and the interest credited to
this fund is exempt from tax. The amount received at the timed termination of this
contract is also exempt from tax

where by the workers working in factories or other establishment may get some financial
assistance in old age such measures are common features in industrially advanced countries
but due to various difficulties particularly financial and administrative , the state could not
enact a law which could provide some measures of financial security to workers in his old
age , or their families or dependents after death a way out was found and a contributory
provident fund scheme was conceived in which both employer and employee would
contribute and the funds so raised could be depended up on to held the workers in old age

RSPL.
 Lack of cooperation of employees : general cooperation of the employee is
to be achieved in the organization is one if the major limitations of the project
 Time constraint: the most glaring of any constraints is the short time from
within which a certain objective has to be achieved.
 Restriction in reading and collecting information’s further at any how

In the year 2013 _2015 amount of pension is more because no. of employees is increases
Hence growth virtues are seems well in organization.
Employer’s monthly contribution moves in to employee’s pension schemes (EPS).
From September 1, 2014, EPS is only for those new members earning less than Rs 15,000.
(Pensionable salary*service period) / 70
The pensionable salary is capped at Rs 15,000 and service period at 35 years. Thus,
maximum would be Rs 7,500 per month pension. For most who are contributing before
September 1, 2014, it will much less as earlier pensionable salary was capped at Rs 6,500.
In earlier 2013 or before that 8.33% of 6,500 from 5000 is transferred to pension fund of
employees. Likewise before 2006 amount of transferring is 5000.
In year 2004_2006 _by 35.3% is seems as increases in2007_2009 _by 38.5% even same

INTERPRETATION:
Membership of employees in EPF &EPS seem as follows in 2006_2008 it will be 29111 and
28547 i.e. 28.82% net. While in 2009_2010 EPF is 32651 and EPS 27657 so i.e. in total
60308 which means 30.15% even in 2011_2013 membership of EPF & EPS is counted as
32777 & 28937 overall 61714 i.e. 30.85% .
Since simultaneously the membership in net is increases by 0.7% in last yr. i.e.2011_2013
even the growth seem in net membership being decline by 0.63%
Although if I analyse or compare the yrs. It shows that 31.51% overall in these span of yrs.
regarding membership of EPF while 28.38 found in EPS net membership in these span of yrs.
So it clearly seems as EPF employees membership increases by 3.13%.as compare to EPS.

staff in EPF is 75% and 78% in EPS while continue with 25% in ESIC and 83% in NSDC
overall benefits is 68% other than 74.5% total benefits grasp by clerk staff which context as
78% EPF;90%EPS;45%ESIC;85%NSDC and its continue by executive staff who proposed as
92% overall and parted as 86% EPF;93%EPS;94%ESIC;95%NSDC while over to managerial
staff it indexed as 95%EPF;97%EPS;94%ESIC;95%NSDC.it reveals 95.25% overall benefits
gain by managerial staff. So interval of overall benefits grasp by staff of organization is with
difference of 8.75% in b/w EPF & EPS whereas, 27.75% in b/w EPS& ESIC and mark 25%
in b/w NSDC&ESIC. Even if gather the difference rate with segmented benefits ratio
i.e.3.25% in b/w manager & executive while17.5% attained in b/w executive and clerk and
6.5% seems in b/w clerk and labour.
Hence, the variation analysis in b/w staff members seems as higher at top level staff whereas

whose basic salary while joining the organization is less than Rs15001/ but after some period
of time their basic increases above Rs 15001/ have to compulsorily continue to be member of
provident fund.
Eventually the above statement reveals that if u want to be a member of EPF u have two
options whether u joined as payer of + 15k or -15k but having choice or liability of having
directly payer of 15k or +15k but compulsory /necessary -15k who now get +15k now to be a
member of EPFO.

CONCLUSION
1. Employee’s provident fund and pension scheme are much more helpful for the
industrial workers at the time when his source of income is stopped , simultaneously
the scheme provides monetary benefits to the nominee / heirs of an employee’s in the
event of his death while in service
2. Legal formalities are involved at time of joining of membership in provident fund
and pension scheme with regard to the appointment of nominee who would be
entitled to receive the amount of pension at time of death of the earning member of
the family
3. After independence the government has introduced a number of schemes in this
regard but proper implementation is not done due to lack of funds.
4. Due to lack of awareness in grade of labour class scale employee so they didn’t get

RECOMMENDATION
The employee’s provident fund and pension scheme is the scheme for the benefit of
the industrial workers, under social security measures it is expected that under these
schemes the industrial workers and the dependents family members should
sufficiently benefited at time of financial hardship but because of certain drawbacks
in the implementation of the act the following measures are suggested to the
government for the improvement in the working of the scheme:
 Looking at the inflationary pressure the employer’s contribution to the
provident fund should be increased
 The employee’s should also made compulsory for all industrial
workers to supplement the monetary benefits at the time of retirements
of an employee.
 Old age pension scheme may be introduced so that the employee’s
may not face any financial hardship at the time when his source of
income is stopped.
 Superannuation scheme should also made compulsory for all
industrial workers to supplement the monetary benefits at the time of
retirements of an employee.
 The difference in the opinion prevailing in the mind of central
government regarding interest paid to the employee’s in provident
fund should be resolved

  • 2. 2 provident fund is a social security scheme in which compulsory contribution if both the employer and employee is necessary the objectives behind this scheme was to provide some relief and benefits either to the employee after their retirement or to his dependants in case of his death In RSPL 12% contribution of employer is necessary and employee can contribute up to 55%. A part of salary is paid to the employees and remaining is paid in instalment as per convenience of the company the trust also sanction loan to the employees of RSPL .out of the amount of provident fund contribution collected from the employees and that amount is totally non-refundable i.e. loan taken from the employees is not taken back and that is deducted from the amount of provident fund received from employees and the interest is payable on the balance amount remaining in the provident fund account. Although provident fund is an effective old age and survivorship benefits but in case where death of employee is at early age, say after putting in a couple of years of decade service, the accumulation in the provident fund at the credit of such employee would be too meagre and the family would be deriving little benefits from the fund The government gave the matter a serious thinking to find out the ways and means by which the futures interests of a family in distress can be safeguarded after the earning member makes an exit before he reaches the age of retirement. An employee’s provident fund has been created for this purpose by diverting a portion of the employer’s contributions to the provident fund Keywords: EPF i.e. employee provident fund; EPS i.e. employee pension scheme; PPF i.e. public provident fund; ESIC i.e. employee state insurance cooperation; NSDC i.e. national skill development corporation.
