The Delhi High Court last week issued an order directing the Employee Provident Fund Organisation to take note of a former Statesman journalist’s complaint about not receiving his provident fund.
Journalist Shahid Pervez, who presently works for the Indian Express, worked at the Statesman for 27 years from 1994 to 2021. On February 10 this year, he wrote a formal complaint to the EPFO seeking criminal proceedings against the managing director and trustee of the Statesman Staff Provident Fund alleging non-payment of his provident fund dues.
