Subscribers to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) can now get a second non-refundable Covid-19 advance of up to three months’ pay (basic plus DA) or up to 75 percent of the amount in their EPF account, whichever is less. The special withdrawal provision, designed to help members fulfill their financial needs in the event of a pandemic, was initially implemented in March of last year as part of the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY). Within three days of receipt, such claims will be resolved.

According to the labor ministry, EPFO has resolved over 76.31 lakh Covid-19 advance claims to date, disbursing a total of Rs 18,698.15 crore. “Mucormycosis, or black fungus, was just proclaimed an epidemic during the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. EPFO tries to provide a helping hand to its members by satisfying their financial requirements in these challenging times. Members who have previously taken use of the first Covid-19 advance can now take advantage of a second advance.

Given the essential need for financial assistance among members during these challenging times, the ministry has decided to give Covid-19 claims considerable attention.
