FICO demanded proper working EPFO Website from government

Ludhiana: Federation of Industrial & Commercial Organization (FICO) demanded proper working EPFO Website from Government of India. Gurmeet Singh Kular President FICO along with Vipan Mittal Vice Chairman FICO sent a memorandum to Narendra Modi, Prime Minister regarding the same.   

They said that a major issue regarding the working of EPFO Website in last dates is being faced, it appears when the visitors’ traffic is very high during the last dates automatically EPFO website gets slow and starts troubling its users. EPFO is not a small organization, we don't expect these kinds of problems from EPFO website. It hampers the MSME Sector the most. MSME’s are the most vulnerable, they have already been hit badly by the COVID-19 Lockdowns throughout the country. MSME’s works with limited resources. The income tax act has been amended effective from 01.04.2021, which states that if the employee’s share has not been deposited within the said period, then the deducted amount will be counted as the income of the company, which is very harsh for the companies. And requested for provision of making payment by NEFT/ RTGS also, as the online payment option available on the website does not serve the purpose.
