The Indian social security regime, which includes the Provident Fund (‘PF’) scheme and pension scheme has undergone a significant change, thereby impacting both domestic employees and international workers (i.e. foreign passport holders working in India and Indian employees going overseas with which India has signed a Social Security Agreement). Focussed approach towards e-governance has been framed and is being implemented by the concerned authorities leading to administrative convenience for the employers. This can be evidenced by the introduction of a Universal Account Number to link the multiple IDs allotted to an individual, e-passbook to check the account balance, e-challan, enforcement through Aadhaar, etc.
