Since the creation of the multiple Regional Offices in some of the States, the erstwhile used State Codes were changed for 19 Regional Offices. Moreover, after the implementation of the Computerisation Project in the EPFO Offices, the members account number uses the Office code also even when the Region Codes had not changed.
References are received from various field offices pointing out that implementation of the instructions contained in the circular referred in Para 1 above will lead to return of claims already received in the office wherein the benefits payable are more than Rs. 10,000/-. This will lead to undue hardship to the PF beneficiaries.
