EPFO, which conducted Special Campaign 6, functions under which Union ministry?
- A.Ministry of Finance
- B.Ministry of Labour and Employment
- C.Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions
- D.Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Ministry of Labour and Employment, which issued the announcement on the conclusion of Special Campaign 6 by EPFO. Option A is wrong: the Finance Ministry handles taxation, budgeting and financial regulation, while provident fund administration for organised sector workers rests with the labour ministry. Option C is a tempting distractor, because the campaign was largely about disposing of public grievances and CPGRAMS is administered by that ministry, but EPFO itself is not under it. Option D is wrong because social justice schemes are unrelated to provident fund administration. Candidates should also store the physical outcomes of this drive: 598 cleanliness target units transformed against a target of 570, 68,178 square feet of space freed against a target of 28,300 square feet, and 41,875 physical files reviewed against a target of 28,770, with 1,383 files sent to the National Archives.
