5. Zonal Additional CPFC can take decisions to organize camps in the areas of industrial centres where workers are in good number for which they may decide to procure within their delegated powers, requisite number of laptops with data card and Iris Readers.

6. In addition to EPFO field offices i.e. Regional Office and District Offices, Aadhaar details of EPF subscribers are captured though common service Zonal ACCs should provide wide publicity to facilitate 100% Aadhaar cap:turing in respect of subscribers in time bound manner.
