New
Delhi,24.11.15: Shri Bandaru
Dattatreya, Union Minister for Labour & Employment (Independent Charge)
today launched the Digital Signatures based Online Registration of
Establishments (OLRE) in a function held in Employees’ Provident Fund
Organisation, Head Office.
Explaining the
process in detail, Shri Bandaru Dattatreya informed that the online
registration will be done once the applicant employer registers himself on the
OLRE Portal. Subsequent to creation of User ID and password the employer will
have to register his/her digital signature (class II or III). Thereafter, the
PAN number of the employer would be verified online. On successful verification
of PAN the employer will be able to apply online for code number which would
require the employer to upload the relevant documents after digitally
authenticating the same. On completion of this process the name of the
applicant employer would be auto populated in the application in owner details
field. All details related to the Code Number shall be available for the applicant
employer on the login. The Code Number to the applicant employer shall be
allotted immediately on successful submission of the application which would
mean that the process is successfully completed.
Shri Bandaru
Dattatreya further informed that this facility will not only reduce the
workload of the employer, but will also reduce the paperwork for both employer
as well as the EPFO. It will be a quick and hassle free process. The process of
applying for a branch code by any employer already having the PF Code will
remain unchanged and will be available through the ECR login. The validation of
only one code number can be done through this facility for a given PAN number
and for any subsequent code for any branch or establishments under same PAN number
the application will be through the ECR Portal. As a result of this facility,
the employer would have a digital signature at the time of application itself
and this can be used by employer for other areas such as the Online Transfer
Claim Portal and authentication of KYC details of members joining the
establishment. The use of paperwork would be reduced significantly and the
filing of documents would be as per the convenience of the employer.
Shri Shankar
Aggarwal, Secretary, Labour & Employment also applauded the efforts made by
EPFO in introducing user free services in recent past and stated that this
software which is being launched today would especially be a big leap forward
in fulfilling the mandate of the Government in ensuring the ease of doing
business in the country which is one of the prime areas of concern for the
administration today. He further encouraged EPFO to introduce more such
ventures in the days to come.
Shri K.K. Jalan,
Central PF Commissioner stated that EPFO is committed to strengthen the
e-governance system and to provide better services to its stakeholders. EPFO
has already launched a number of e-governance initiatives such as Electronic
Challan-cum-Return, Member e-passbook SMS governance, payment through National
Electronic Fund Transfer, electronic return to collect the missing details of
members etc. This process is not going to stop and EPFO would continue its
efforts to make the working more transparent and convenient for all
stakeholders.
Shri Bandaru Dattatreya
also honoured a few officers/officials of the Organisation for their efficiency
and diligence.
