- Tuesday, 24 September 2013
Althought the Civil Defence Department has reduced a sum of nearly Rs. 1,000 from each of the 43,000 Civil Defence Force personnel purportedly as their EPF contributions, the money has not been credited to their EPF accounts, CDF personnel allege.
From a CDF personnel drawing a monthly salary of Rs. 12,150, a sum of Rs. 972 has been reduced, while from a CDF personnel with a Rs. 12,555 salary, the reduction is Rs. 1,004.40.
Now, they are facing various problems due to the non-crediting of their EPF dues to the accounts.
When they visit the labour offices to obtain a loan on their EPF contribution, they are told that no money has been credited to their accounts.
The CDF personnel are being deployed on duty for the protection of court complexes, state banks and other state institutions.
They are asking the Defence Ministry to credit the money reduced from the salaries to the EPF accounts.
