Under this scheme, EPFO and ESIC members will be able to receive their PF claim amount directly in their e-wallet, so that they will not have to depend on bank accounts.”
Implementation of the process
According to a report by TV9 Hindi, ” The government has started talks with banks and the Reserve Bank of India ( RBI ) to implement this new facility.
