This is Rs. 13.50 crore more than the average realised from April-June 2013. Likewise arrear demand (the amount raised by the department from defaulting establishment in the past fiscals), recovery has also shown an upward trend. In the month of July 2013, Rs. 39.48 crores were realized which is around Rs. 9.00 crore more than the average for the period April-June 2013. 

Customer satisfaction has also occupied the centre stage in EPFO’s transactions and 20,668 grievances were disposed in the month of July 2013 as compared to 13,414 which is the average for preceding three months. Central P.F Commissioner further stated that grievances are being accorded the top most priority and appropriate instructions are issued to all field formations. Direct monitoring of grievances from Head office of EPFO is also done. The internet enabled EPF internet Grievance Management System (EPFiGMS) has also been reactivated and as on date more that 96% of the grievances registered through the portal have been disposed. 

Further, the facility of checking remittances status of an establishment, total no. of members enrolled by an establishment, the balance of EPF members through e-passbook facility, status of claim filed etc. are available on EPFO website www.epfindia.gov.in for providing transparent and effective service for employee and employer.
