## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE (IC) FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI BANDARU DATTATREYA)

- (a): The request for transfer of accounts is received from such members  who  change  their  employment  and  it  has  no  direct  corelation  with  Universal  Account  Number (UAN).  Introduction of UAN has  enabled  digitization  of  the  transfer  of  accounts  online  through Online Transfer Claim Portal (OTCP).
- (b) & (c): Electronic Challan-cum-Return was introduced in the year 2012.  With  the  introduction  of  this  facility,  employers  can  remit  the dues  and  returns of the employees  online.  This has  facilitated effective  monitoring  of  remittances  of  provident  fund.  Therefore,  all categories  of  employees  get  benefited.  For  the  month  of  November, 2015,  dues  and  returns  of  3,55,33,070  members  have  been  remitted through Electronic Challan-cum-Return (ECR). State/UT wise list is at Annex.
- (d): Both these facilities are already functional.
