Claim: Contribution of 12% to EPF for new employees for 3 years by the government in sectors employing large number of people. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2023-05-18): - The Employees’ Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (EPF & MP Act) which applies to specific scheduled factories and establishments employing 20 or more employees and ensures terminal benefits to provident fund, superannuation pension, and family pension in case of death during service. Separate laws exist for similar benefits for the workers in the coal mines and tea plantations. [...] In India currently only about 35 million out of a workforce of 400 million have access to formal social security in the form of old-age income protection. This includes private sector workers, civil servants, military personnel and employees of State Public Sector Undertakings. Out of these 35 million, 26 million workers are members of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization. As such the current publicly managed system in India is more or less entirely anchored by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation. It may be noted that in the last 50 years, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation has been in existence, there has been no instance of any scam or a situation where the Fund has been exposed to speculation and risk. Another important contribution of EPF is now proposed to extend to the critical life benefit of providing shelter. The Shramik Awas Yojana aims at providing a cost effective Housing Scheme specific for EPF numbers. This involves cooperation between organizations such as HUDCO, Housing Agencies, State Governments, Employers and EPF Members with the EPFO playing the role of facilitator. The investments are directed into the prescribed securities and portfolios as per the pattern laid down by the Finance Ministry.
Claim: Contribution of 12% to EPF for new employees for 3 years by the government in sectors employing large number of people. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2022-09-07): - Employees PF Act to be amended to reduce contribution of women to 8% from 12 % with no change in employer’s contribution - Contribution of 8.33% to EPF for new employees by the govt for three years and 12% govt contribution to EPF in sectors employing large number of people.
Claim: Contribution of 12% to EPF for new employees for 3 years by the government in sectors employing large number of people. (Govt. of India, 2018-05-26)
Evidence (2014-03-08): The EPF is an individual account, DC scheme wherein the employee and employer each contribute to the fund at the rate of 12 percent of the employee’s pay. In 2012, the total assets under EPFO’s control was more than Rs 3 trillion (US$54.5 billion). There are a number of provisions under the scheme for preretirement withdrawal of accumulated balances. These provisions are frequently used by scheme members, which leads to reduced balances at the time of their retirement. These depleted balances lead to negligible old-age income benefits. The EPFO scheme enjoys an "EEE" (exempt, exempt, exempt) tax structure, which constitutes a major tax subsidy.8 The EPS is a DB scheme based on a contribution rate of 8.33 percent from the employee and an additional 1.16 percent from the government. The EPS was introduced in 1995 to replace the Family Pension Scheme of 1971, and is applicable to workers who entered into employment after 1995 and those who were covered under the previous scheme. [...] Introduction of the NPS for new employees of the central and state governments is a positive step for reforming the pension system in India. The road ahead has many challenges that need to be tackled for the system to spread wide enough to cover the unorganized sector, agricultural workers, temporary and casual workers, and the self-employed.

Claim: Visuals of a recent incident where the Taliban executed a captive Pakistani soldier (SOCIAL MEDIA POST, 2023-01-06)
Evidence (2021-11-30): In the weeks before the Taliban overran Kabul, revenge killings, including the targeting of government officials, were already on the increase in major cities and along key highways. This was evident in July, when Taliban forces escalated their operations around Kandahar city and carried out summary executions of surrendered and captured members of the security forces. Similar patterns have emerged in many other provinces, including since August 15. The Taliban, through their intelligence operations and access to employment records that the former government left behind, have identified new targets for arrest and execution. Baz Muhammad, originally from Paktika province, had been employed in Kandahar by the National Directorate of Security (NDS), the former state intelligence agency. Around September 30, Taliban forces came to his house in Kandahar city and arrested him; relatives later found his body. The murder, about 45 days after the Taliban had taken over the country, suggests that senior officials ordered or were at least aware of the killing. These continuing executions have generated fear among former government officials and others who might have believed that the Taliban takeover would bring an end to the violence characteristic of the armed conflict. [...] The Taliban have also searched for known former security force members, often threatening and abusing family members to reveal the whereabouts of those in hiding. Some of those eventually apprehended have been executed or taken into custody without acknowledgment of their detention or their location, the crime of enforced disappearance.
