UPS Provident WhatsApp Photos consequences EPFO eases claim process; cancelled cheque, bank account verification by employers not needed

At present, members of Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), while applying for withdrawal of funds from PF accounts online, need to upload image of cheque leaf or attested photo copy of the passbook of the bank account seeded with the UAN (Universal Account Number) or PF number. The employers are also required to approve the bank account details of the applicant. The EPFO has completely dispensed with the requirement of uploading an image of a cheque leaf or attested bank passbook while filing online claims, the labour ministry said in a statement. These two steps have been done away with to ensure 'ease of living' for EPF members and 'ease of doing business' for employers. These measures will significantly streamline the process of claim settlement and reduce grievances related to claim rejections, it stated. These requirement were initially relaxed on a pilot basis for certain KYC-updated members. Since the pilot launch on May 28, 2024, the move has already benefited 1.7 crore EPF members. Following the successful pilot, EPFO has now extended this relaxation to all members, the ministry said.

Manishi Raychaudhuri, Veteran Investor, says India is somewhere in the middle of the pack. Headline tariffs show that some Southeast Asian countries have been slapped with much larger tariffs. So all this is playing out, and the market did not have a drastic fall post the tariff announcement. However, we should not lull ourselves into a sense of security, just going by what we are seeing today. Tariffs at the rate of 34% have been slapped on China, add 20% of historical tariff and that makes it 54%. It is 26% in India, 40% in Vietnam and when such tariffs are slapped, financial markets get into a panic mode. But that is not happening. It is a good morning for Asia this morning. Markets have recovered from the day's low. Are markets getting complacent or it is time to move on? Manishi Raychaudhuri: To some extent, there is the possibility of demand retrenchment across the world, but particularly in the United States, that situation has not yet been factored in. The initial reaction of the market despite this is what I call a nuclear trade, almost a ‘nuclear battle’ in a sense in the trade regime.

markets Manufacturing Sustainability WhatsApp Trade President concert India Inc sees limited impact of US tariffs, expects major realignment in global trade

«Tariffs unveiled by President Trump last night would bring a major realignment in global trade and manufacturing value chains. India has been placed somewhere in the middle of the tariff rates at 27 per cent in addition to 10 per cent baseline duties, which needs to be assessed for real impact», said ASSOCHAM President Sanjay Nayar. ''Net-net, it appears India's export competitiveness to the US market stands far less impacted on a relative basis. Yet our industry should make concerted efforts to increase export efficiency and value addition, to mitigate impact of these tarriffs,'' he said. India's robust industrial competitiveness will balance the impact of US tariffs, and GDP will see only a 0.1 per cent impact in the short term, said PHDCCI President Hemant Jain. However, in the medium term, as the policy takes full effect, this shortfall will be negated, he added.
