Decide within 4 months: SC to Centre, EPFO on plea seeking revision of wage ceiling under EPF scheme New Delhi, Jan 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Central government and the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to decide, within four months, on revising the wage ceiling under the Employees’ Provident Fund Scheme (EPFS), which has remained unchanged for the past 11 years. A Bench of Justices J.K. Maheshwari and Atul S. Chandurkar passed the directions while hearing a public interest litigation (PIL) highlighting that the stagnant wage ceiling has resulted in a large section of workers being excluded from the ambit of the EPFO, a social welfare scheme intended to provide social security to employees in the organised sector.
