Extending EPF coverage for the pre-induction training period – non-implementation of Corporate Office instructions– BSNLEU writes to the CMD BSNL, seeking his intervention..

The BSNL Corporate Office has already issued a letter on 05.08.2015 stating that EPF coverage would be extended to the pre-induction training period of the BSNL Recruited Employees. Subsequently, on 17.09.2015, the Corporate Office has issued letter stating that, the employee share of the EPF contribution, for the pre-induction training period, would also be paid by the Management and it need not be deducted from the salary of the employees. However, the above instructions have not been implemented for many BSNL Recruited employees. Hence, BSNLEU has written letter to the CMD BSNL today, demanding extension of EPF coverage for the pre-induction training period and also making relevant corrections in the EPFO records.
