Social Security in IndiaEPF & MP Act, 1952
- APension
- BProvident Fund
- CDeposit Linked Insurance
- DInjury Compensation
Explanation
The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 administers three schemes: the provident fund, the Employees' Pension Scheme (1995) and the Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (1976). Compensation for employment injury is outside its scope — it is provided under the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923. Hence injury compensation is NOT covered.
