Coimbatore: Coimbatore MP P R Natarajan has urged union ministers to extend the deadline for applying for provident fund EPF pension.
In a separate letter to the Union Industries and Industry Ministers, it said that more than 25,000 textile, other industrial workers and their representative associations have requested for extension of the last date for submission of claim form for higher PF pension based on the date of 3.03.2023.
Of these, most of the pensioners live in rural areas. It is not possible to get immediate information.
Therefore, we need more time for this message to reach them through the EPF agencies.
Therefore, EPF subscribers, who do not have unknown details about submitting more PF pension claim forms online, will not be able to complete the process in a short span of time.
Moreover, EPF pensioners are in a lot of difficulty.
Therefore, I request you to consider the demands of the trade unions. Also, the joint statement of the associations can be uploaded on the EPFO website.
You will also have to change the date and announce it.
The time limit for submission of applications through this notification should be extended”, he wrote.
