Govt considering low-cost housing scheme for over 5 crore EPFO subscribers

10 May 2016 Evaluate

The government is working on a scheme to provide low cost housing for over five crore subscribers of retirement fund body Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya has said that the government is exploring the possibility for providing a suitable low-cost housing scheme for subscribers of Employees Pension Fund and that it is in preliminary discussion stage. Under the proposed scheme, there will be tripartite agreement with member, bank/housing agency and EPFO for pledging future PF contributions as EMI payment.

Last year, the proposal was also listed on the agenda of the meeting of the EPFO trustees’ meeting. The proposal was to allow its subscribers to pledge their future PF contribution to buy low-cost houses. A report was also presented to the EPFO trustees by the expert committee on housing facility for the subscribers for their examination. In the report the committee had recommended a scheme to facilitate subscribers to buy houses where they will get an advance from their PF accumulation and will be allowed to pledge their future PF contribution as EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) payment. The panel had suggested this scheme for low income formal workers who are EPFO subscribers and could not buy a house during their entire service period.

Furthermore, the committee also had suggested that the subscribers will purchase a dwelling unit with loans from bank or housing finance companies and hypothecation of property in favour of the latter. It was suggested that the benefits under the scheme of Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation can also be extended to the beneficiaries of the scheme.
