## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

- (a) & (b): The details of year-wise funds paid to Employees' State Insurance  (ESI)  Scheme  in  Telangana  is  annexed.  Employees' Provident  Fund  Organization  (EPFO)  implemented  following  labour welfare schemes during the last five years:
- i)  Aatmanirbhar  Bharat  Rojgar  Yojana  (ABRY)  during  01.10.2020  to 31.03.2022. Benefits for registered employees were continued for 2 years from registration i.e. till 31.03.2024.
- ii) Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojna (PMRPY) during 01.4.2016 to 31.03.2019.  Benefits for registered employees were continued for 3 years from date of joining i.e. till 31.03.2022.
- iii) Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY) during March 2020 to August 2020.

These schemes were demand-driven and hence there was no state-wise allocation of funds. However, the details of benefits given in Telangana during last five years is annexed.

(c): ESIC provides Social Security to the employees working in organized  sectors  (factories  /  establishments  with  10  or  more employees) only in the districts notified by the Central Government. The  ABRY,  PMRPY  and  PMGKY  schemes  are  also  applicable  for establishments  and  employees  registered  under  the  Employees' Provident Funds & Miscellaneous Provisions (EPF & MP) Act, 1952. *                                                  ******
