Sub:- Provision of functionality for generation e-Form-9.
Sir/Madam,
A functionality to generate for the establishments/ members joining EPF Scheme on or after 1st October 2017, has already been provided in the EPFO application software vide version no 5.68 dated 22-09-2017.
This facility has been extended for the members/ establishments joined on or after 1st April 2012 as well. Accordingly, in the EPFO Application Software version 5.82 dated 10-11-2017, there are two functionalities provided:
- Approval of Form–9 membership data i.e. “Approve Form-9 Data (April 2012 to Sept 2017)” and
- Generation of e-Form 9 data “Generate e-Form-9 (April 2012 to September 2017)”.
The above provision has been made with the intention to generate e-Form-9 for the members/ Establishments joined on or after 1st April 2012 in the EPFO Application Software and thereby reduce the usage of papers and bulk registers.
Usage of this functionality involves a two stage process.
- The first step is a onetime approval of membership data along with updation of the same, if any, by the respective AO (Accounts).
- Then e-Form-9 can be generated in respect of those approved members/Establishments joined on or after 1st April 2012 to 30th September 2017.
All Regional offices arc advised to approve and generate e-Form-9 within 2 months period so that electronic records of members are made available.
Yours faithfully,
(K.V. Sarveswaran)
