Govt. issues orders for 9.5% interest for EPF deposits.

Sustained efforts of the Central Trade Unions and other labour organisation , the cabinet has now decided approving the higher interest. Accordingly, Ministry of Labour & Employment vide No. R 11018/1/2010 SS-II dated 17th March 2011 has issued orders for calculating 9.5% interest for 2011-12 to the 4.72 crore subscribers. The Finance Ministry was stubbornly opposing the EPFO decision to increase the interest rate of EPF from 8.5% to 9.5% for the year 2011-12, which is fully justified. The EPF Organisation had taken all relevant data for calculating the higher interest. But the private employers opposed it stating that they can not pay the higher interest decided by EPFO. Subsequently, the Finance Ministry also took the same stand. Since there was a stand-off between the Labour Department and the Finance Department, the matter went up to cabinet. .

Communication Minister Meets Telcos
Communications & IT Minister Kapil Sibal met the heads of the major private telecom companies on 21st December 2010 and discussed about their concerns in view of the reactions due to 2G spectrum scam and its fall outs. Since the issues are concerning the private companies, immediate discussion took place by the Minister. But in the case of PSU companies, BSNL & MTNL, where there are many serious concerns, there is no discussion either with the unions or the managements how to sort out them. Even when a complete strike took place from 1st December 2010, there was no meeting by the Communications Minister or State Minister with the Unions. Govt. repeats every time that there is an equal field. But what is the truth? Always private companies are given special treatment and discrimination to PSUs.
