The government has appointed the Bharatiya Janta Party’s (BJP) legal cell and the secretary of the BJP parliamentary party Balasubrahmanyam Kamarsu on the board of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) as an industry representative.
- He will succeed Ram Tarneja.
- Kamarsu is a Supreme Court advocate and his appointment has raised a few eyebrows as he has not been nominated by any industry body or the Employers Federation of India (EFI).
The 43-member EPFO board comprises 15 state government representatives, 8 central government representatives and 10 members each representing employee unions and industry bodies like CII, FICCI, Assocham and the Employers Federation of India or EFI which had two out of the 10 industry seats on the board.
- The fund’s operations and regulatory role over 3,000-odd Company managed PF trusts are overseen by its Central Board of Trustees chaired by the Labour and employment minister Bandaru Dattatreya.
