- An employee drawing monthly wage of less than Rs. 15000/- who was not working  in  any  establishment  registered  with  the  Employees'  Provident Fund  Organization  (EPFO)  before  1st  October,  2020  is  eligible  for  the benefit. The employees who lost their job during Covid-19 pandemic and did  not  join  in  any  EPF  covered  establishment  upto  30.09.2020  are  also eligible for the benefit.
- Government  of  India  for  a  period  of  two  years,  is  crediting  both  the employee' share (12% of wages) and employer's share (12% of wages) of contribution payable or only the employee's share, depending on employment strength of the EPFO registered establishments.
- The  scheme  commenced  from  1st  October  2020  and  registration  was open for eligible employers and new employees upto 31st March, 2022.

Till  05.12.2023,  a  total  of  1,52,499  establishments  involving  a  total  of 60.49 lakhs employees have availed the benefit of Rs. 10,043.02 crore.  Statewise and Sector-wise details of beneficiaries under the scheme till 05.12.2023, is at Annexure-I & II, respectively.

(d) to (f):     The Central Government has formulated the Code on Social Security, 2020  (SS  Code)  after  amalgamating,  simplifying  and  rationalizing  the  relevant provisions of the existing 9 Central Acts and published the aforesaid Code in the Official  Gazette  for  general  information.  The  SS  Code  aims  to  extend  social security benefits for all workers including in unorganized sectors as well as gig and platform workers. Some of the key provisions, inter alia, envisaged in the aforesaid Code are as under:-

(i)  Extension  of  benefits  to  unorganised  workers,  gig  workers  and  platform workers and the members of their families through ESIC or Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO).

(ii) The gig worker and the platform worker have been defined for the purpose of formulating schemes  to provide social security benefits. Social security schemes can be formulated from the contribution of aggregators and the other sources can include funds from the Central and State Governments.

(iii)    Setting up of Social Security Fund for formulating schemes for welfare of the unorganised workers, gig workers and platform workers.
