ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI SANTOSH KUMAR GANGWAR)

(a) to (e): Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) was launched on 9 th  August,  2016  with  the  objective  to  incentivise  employers  for  creation  of new employment. Under the scheme, Government of India is paying Employer's full contribution i.e. 12% towards EPF and EPS both (as admissible from time to time) w.e.f. 01.04.2018 for a period of three years to the new employees and to the existing beneficiaries for their remaining period of three years through EPFO.  The terminal date for registration of beneficiary through establishment is  31 st    March,  2019.The  scheme  is  targeted  for  employees  earning  upto  Rs. 15,000 per month.  This scheme has a dual benefit, where, on the one hand, the employer is incentivised for increasing the employment base of workers in the establishment, and on the other hand, a large number of workers will find jobs in such establishments. A direct benefit is that these workers will have access  to  social security benefits of the  organized  sector.  Number  of Employees, Establishments benefitted and amount of Subsidy disbursed as on 10.12.2018 is 9245263, 115422 and Rs. 2910.79 crore respectively. State-wise employees,  establishment  benefited  and  amount  of  subsidy  disbursed  is  at Annex-I.

Subsidy  to  the  employers  is  disbursed  on  the  basis  of  ECR  (Electronic Challancum Return) filed by the employer with the EPFO electronically. Hence, the  ground  impact  of  the  scheme  is  direct  and  immediate  since  the  whole process is conducted through online transactions.

(f): Employment generation coupled with improving employability is the priority concern of the Government. Government has taken various steps for generating  employment  in  the  country  like  encouraging  private  sector  of economy,  fast tracking various projects involving substantial investment and increasing  public  expenditure  on  schemes  like  Prime  Minister's  Employment Generation  Programme  (PMEGP)  run  by  Ministry  of  Micro,  Small  &  Medium Enterprises,  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee  Scheme (MGNREGS) and Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDUGKY) schemes run by Ministry of Rural Development and Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana-National  Urban  Livelihoods  Mission  (DAY-NULM)  run  by  Ministry  of Housing & Urban Affairs. Details of the employment generated through these schemes/ programmes are given at Annex-II.
