A view of the regional provident fund office at Kolkata

My relationship with the Provident Fund Office dates back to 2004, when I went ahead to get my company and employees registered under the Employee Provident Fund Scheme in order to get them the much desired social security.

But what I saw there, shattered my faith in the department. Rampant corruption, mismanaged departments, pathetic work culture and carelessly kept documents formed the common view. I decided that I must post some pictures of this department at some point of time. On a recent visit, I took some pictures using my mobile camera for you to enjoy –

Do you really think they can help someone with pension and/or timely resolution of issues this way?

    Hello Mr. Buddhadev & Mr. Binod,

    Thank you for posting your comment on my blog. Unfortunately I am not in a position to solve this issues since I do not belong to PF department. I have written this open letter to explain everyone how inefficient the PF department is and how they make life hell for everyone.

    I just hope that someone from that department reads this post and tries to improve their image and work culture.

    Regards

  • soumen chattopadhyay

    i want to know how many amount are deposited in my account no. (wb/ca/41493/459)

  • http://abhishekrungta.com Abhishek Rungta

    Wow! So many complains. And some funny complains keep coming in my email box.

    BTW, I am in no way related to this department and I just wanted to expose their laid back attitude. It seems that the Provident Fund department has a really poor Public Relations system, and a worse Internet presence!

    My gut feeling says that they do not comply to the RTI Act.

    Sometime I feel – why they make a law, when they are unable to make people obey the same. It just takes away the trust in the legal framework of the country.

  • Shankar Mazumdar

    WB/CA/40639/146

    My wife had submitted her Claim form for REFUND of her past accummulation along with other relevant papers to PF Office in Salt Lake Kolkata and was issued an official receipt dt 29/1/08.

    Till date ( 9th July 2008) her account has not been settled and no refund cheque has been issued to her till date.

    Even the behaviour of the PF office staff in Kolkata is dubious.

    In the eara of globalisation how they work is something unbelieveable.

    Will any NGO come forward and take up the matter or can somebody suggest any email id of any minister in the Central government which could be of help ?

    I guess this department has no impact of any blogs/comments/ by any individual or community. They are simply not bothered

  • http://abhishekrungta.com Abhishek Rungta

    I can see a lot of posts here which talks about recovering their PF amount. I think this proves my point :) I am sorry for all these people who have posted with high hopes. I am not from PF office (and I don't want to be either). I think all of you should go to that office collectively and demand professional work culture. Unless people stand up for their rights, things are not going to improve.

    See their office. Does it look like a workplace? It looks like a kabari shop!

    For my friends from west a 'kabari' is a person who deals in junk ;)
