You are informed that under the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY), the Central Govt. has approved a Scheme to grant relief in form of credit of EPF & EPS contributions in UANs of active EPF members, earning monthly wage of less than Rs.15000/- (up to Rs.14,999/-), who are employed in EPF covered establishments/factories employing up to one hundred employees with 90% or more of such employees earning monthly wage of less than Rs.15000/- (up to Rs.14999/-). This relief is for wage months- March, 2020, April, 2020 and May 2020. The Scheme is available on EPFO website.

On basis of data furnished by you in the Electronic Challan cum Returns (ECR) filed under this EPF Code number, it appears that your establishment may be eligible for availing the relief under the PMGKY subject to further validation as noted below.

The eligibility of your establishment is liable to be validated once you disburse the wages to the employees and upload ONLY One valid ECR for each of the wage months – March 2020, April 2020 and May 2020 with the required certification and undertaking from you. The information furnished in Form 5A shall also form a basis for validation of eligibility. If you are availing benefits of payment of employer’s share by Central Govt. under PMRPY/PMPRPY 2016, no such relief in r/o such employee shall be available under PMGKY.

Since you have to furnish a Certificate/undertaking, as specified in Point 6 (vii) of the Scheme at time of submission of ECR, you need to be sure that your establishment meets the eligibility criteria for availing the Central Govt. relief under this Scheme.

The issue of this communication to you does not guarantee any benefits under the PMGKY package. The details of the Scheme and FAQs containing clarifications on various aspects of the package are available on homepage of EPFO website under the TAB “COVID-19”.
