    The commissioner has to immediately set aside a representative that will be looking at the case and would make sure the files move in order to settle the claim fast. All the executive powers reside with the commissioner only and not the representative, they are just there to make the process fast-paced.




    The representative’s job is to personally guide the family of the deceased in order to make them familiar with the process and help them in the settlement of the claim. They have to help the family with the filing under the 1952 EPF Scheme Act.

    All this has to be done very quickly without any delay and the notification has been forwarded to all the regional EPF commissioners except the central commissioner.
