A government audit and Aadhaar-based verification of outsourced employees in Telangana have flagged alleged irregularities involving more than ₹1,100 crore in provident fund (PF) contributions, putting hundreds of private manpower agencies under scrutiny, reported TOI.
The exercise covered around 1.6 lakh outsourcing employees working across government departments and institutions and also identified suspected cases of ghost employees, raising questions over the monitoring of agencies responsible for paying workers and depositing their statutory benefits.
