13 October 2018 Sir, I am and with me around 100 other Employees working in various Branches of ICAI across India has yet not received their PF Number after services of more than 5-25 years. Our Appointment was done through Branch Managing Committee and overall directions of ICAI. ICAI has launched regularization scheme in 2006 as well as in 2014 we covered under said scheme, our CPF @ 10 % of basic salary is deducted and sent to H.O. but we don't know where it goes. Some ICAI employees say it is kept in ICAI PF Trust Bank A/c. Kindly let us know that are we entitled for PF Number or not. ? We even don't the ICAI EPF TRUST Registration Number

16 October 2018 We sent numerous mails and representation to Secretary, President Central Council Members, but they are not even replying from past many years we are waiting for the same. ICAI had made Regional Council Branch Employees in 2006. We are all cover under the same the Appointment Letter is issued By Branch Chairman with overall guidance of H.O. In that Scheme that is what written regarding Provident Fund

"PROVIDENT FUND"

Contributory Provident Fund, i.e., 10% of the basic pay of the Branch employee concerned and equal contribution to be made by the Employer, as per concerned rules of the Regional Council.

[Regional Councils shall bring in-principle PF Scheme and administer at their level]
