Several crores of employees were denied PF benefits because of mismanagement of Employees Provident Fund Organisation. Since there is no rule of law in the Employees’ PF Organization, the Central Government must through the Parliament undertake the functions of Employees’ PF Organisation and issue orders under Section 20 of the EPF and MP Act.
