Dimapur, January 23 (MExN): An awareness meeting on Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF), pension and insurance benefits was held on January 23 at the EPFO Special State Office, United Colony, Half Nagarjan, Dimapur, for NGOs and societies.
An update received here stated that the programme witnessed participation from several prominent NGOs operating in the region.
Addressing the gathering, Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Nagaland, Samuel Das, explained the legal framework of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions (EPF & MP) Act, 1952, along with the schemes framed under it. He emphasised the importance of extending social security coverage to employees working in NGOs and societies.
During the session, incentives and waivers available under the Pradhan Mantri VBRY (PM-VBRY) and the Employee Enrolment Programme, 2025, were explained, outlining the benefits available to both employers and employees.
It was deliberated that similar awareness programmes would be organised in future to cover other NGOs and societies, with the objective of ensuring wider coverage of social security benefits while the schemes remain operational.
NGOs and societies that could not attend the programme were advised to contact the EPFO office at the earliest to avail benefits under the ongoing schemes.
