The Central Trade Unions have been continuously demanding that the present condition that there should be at least 20 workers in a company to introduce Employees Provident should be reduced to less number of workers.
Now Labour Minister Mallikarjun Kharge has stated in the Parliament during question hour that the government is proposing to extend the EPF to all companies having 10 or more workers.
The workers will certainly welcome this statement. But at the same time it should not be kept as a proposal and early decision should be taken and orders issued.
