Frequently Asked Questions

on

Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana

Q1: What is Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) scheme?

Ans: The Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) Plan Scheme has been

designed to incentivise employers for generation of new employment, where Government

of India will be paying the 8.33% EPS contribution of the employer for the new employment.

Q2: Which establishments are eligible for PMRPY scheme?

Ans: All establishments registered ith E ployees’ Pro ide t Fund Organisation (EPFO)

can apply for availing benefits under the scheme subject to the following conditions:

(a) Esta lish e ts registered ith the E ployees’ Pro ide t Fu d Orga isatio

(EPFO) should also have a Labour Identification Number (LIN) allotted to them

under the Shram Suvidha Portal (https://shramsuvidha.gov.in).

(b) The eligible employer must have added new employees to the reference base of

workers in order to avail benefits under the Scheme from August, 2016 onwards.

In addition to above, the establishment should have a valid organisational PAN, which

would be validated. Further, the establishment must have a valid Bank Account through

which the payments may be made to the establishment.

Q3: What is reference base of workers under PMRPY scheme?

Ans: The reference base of workers is determined by the number of employees against

whom the employer has deposited the 12% (3.67% EPF + 8.33% EPS) with EPFO as on 31st

March, 2016, as ascertained/verified from the monthly Electronic Challan cum Return

(ECR) for March, 2016. Thus it is necessary that the establishment should have submitted

their ECR for the month of March, 2016.

Q4: How the increase in new employment is determined for benefits under PMRPY

scheme?

Ans: Under the PMRPY scheme, the establishment should have increased the number of

employees on or after 01.04.2016 to avail the benefits. For example, an establishment, say

Page 17: USER MANUAL · PDF file · 2017-10-31USER MANUAL Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) Scheme Version 1.1 29 th September, 201 6 Information Services Division DW>Kz ^[WZKs

M/s ABC Ltd. had filed a ECR for the e ployers’ o tri utio for e ployees/workers in

March, 2016. In the month of April, 2016, the establishment has added, say, 15 new workers

bringing the total of employees to 60, the employer will be eligible to apply for the PMRPY

scheme benefits for these 15 new employees.

Similarly for 2017-18, the reference base will be taken as 31st March, 2017 and so on in

subsequent years.

Q5: What would happen if there is no new employment vis-à-vis the reference base in any

subsequent month?

Ans: The employer cannot avail PMRPY benefits if there is no new employment vis-à-vis the

reference base in any subsequent month. Thus, in case an establishment eligible for a

scheme has a drop/fall in employment from the reference base, the establishment will not

be eligible for the scheme in the months where employment is below this reference base.

Q6: What would be the reference base for the new establishments coming into existence/

getting registered with EPFO after 01st April, 2016?

Ans: In case of new establishments getting registered with EPFO after 01st April, 2016, the

reference base would be taken as Zero/NIL and all new employees would be entitled to be

covered under the Scheme, subject to other eligibility conditions.

Q7: What is the definition of new employee under the PMRPY scheme?

Ans: New Employee, for the purposes of the scheme, is defined as

(i) an employee earning less than Rs. 15000 per month,

(ii) not working in any establishment registered with the EPFO in the past (prior to

01st April, 2016) and

(iii) did not have a Universal Account Number prior to 01st April, 2016.

All the above conditions should be satisfied for an employee to be categorised as new

employee.

Ans: The PMRPY scheme is meant for the following employees:

Page 18: USER MANUAL · PDF file · 2017-10-31USER MANUAL Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana (PMRPY) Scheme Version 1.1 29 th September, 201 6 Information Services Division DW>Kz ^[WZKs

(a) This scheme is for the employees earning wages less than Rs 15,000/- per

month under semi-skilled and unskilled category. Thus, new employees earning

wages more than Rs 15,000/- per month will not be eligible.

(b) A new employee is one who has not been working in an EPFO registered

establishment on a regular basis prior to 01st April, 2016. This will be determined

by checking that he was allotted a new Aadhaar seeded Universal Account

Number (UAN) on or after 01.04.2016. It is important to note that for the

purpose of the PMRPY Scheme, the UANs need to be Aadhaar seeded and

verified.

In case the new employee does not have a UAN at all, the employer will facilitate its

allotment through UAN portal of EPFO.

Q9: When will the PMRPY scheme become operational?

Ans: The PMRPY Scheme is operational from the date of issue/approval of the Scheme

Guidelines (i.e.9thAug, 2016).

Q10: How long the employer will get the benefit for the eligible new employees?

Ans: The Scheme will be in operation for a period of 3 years. Hence, the employers will

continue to get the 8.33% contribution paid by the Government for the eligible new

employee for the next 3 years, provided such employee continues in employment with the

same employer.

Q11: How the employer would avail the benefits under the scheme?

Ans: The brief process for employer to avail benefits under the scheme is provided below:

The eligible establishment will update the PMRPY interface each month (latest by

10th of following month) through a PMRPY form wherein the description of the post

(job role) for the new employment needs to be specified along with the date of

joining and date of exit, if applicable.

PMRPY form for a month should be submitted by eligible employers, preferably by

the 10th day of the following month.

In case the employer does not submit the information on-line on the PMRPY form by

10th of the following month, he will not be eligible for availing benefits under the

PMRPY Scheme for that month.

An online certificate/ undertaking would be made by the employer in prescribed

format duly digitally signed.

Till the introduction of new ECR 2.0, the release of the contribution fund would be

made directly to the employer in his bank account.

The details of the new employee (as submitted by the employer in the ECR) will be

validated from the UAN database

UAN seeded with Aadhaar number would be validated in UIDAI/EPFO database for

verification and deduplication

After due verification, the system will compute the amount due for that

establishment against the verified new employee

Q12: How the eligibility and benefits under the scheme for an employee would be

determined, in case multiple ECRs are filed by the employer?

Ans: The eligibility and benefits under the scheme for an employee would be determined on

the basis of first ECR filed by the employer for the respective month. No benefits would be

admissible on the basis of supplementary ECRs.

Q13: What will happen if due to filing of any supplementary ECR by the employer for the

base month at a later stage leads to increase in employment strengthen for the base

month and the employer becomes ineligible for benefits for some or all months?

Ans: Due to filing of any supplementary ECR by the employer for the base month at a later

stage leading to increase in employment strengthen for the base month, there is a

possibility that the employer may become ineligible for benefits for some or all months,

where he has already availed the benefits under the scheme. In such cases, the employer is

liable to pay back the subsidy amount availed by him for the respective months, where he is

found ineligible, along with penal provisions as per the EPF & Miscellaneous Provisions Act,

1952 & Schemes framed thereunder.

Ans: National Industrial Classification Code (NIC) – 2008 is the code developed and

maintained by Ministry of Statistics & Programme Implementation for codification and

various activities.
