The Silchar Municipality has rolled out the Paytm service in the state making it easier for residents to pay their taxes online in starting of the year. This initiative was announced during an event organized by the Silchar Municipality Board (SMB) in the conference hall. Participants were shown how the system works using codes for transactions demonstrating the municipalities modernized payment process.

In a move aiming to streamline processes for employees, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, the Union Minister for Labour & Employment and Youth Affairs & Sports recently introduced a platform for surrendering exemptions from the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme. The event saw the presence of officials such as Sumita Dawra, the Secretary of Labour & Employment and Smt. Neelam Shami Rao, the Central Provident Fund Commissioner.

Dr. Mandaviya emphasized that this online platform is the initial phase of six modules, part of the EPFO Central IT System 2.01, launched ahead of schedule. The new system aims to improve efficiency by streamlining the application submission process. It offers features like submission and validation of applications online and the transfer of members' previous accumulations.

By replacing the old method of submitting documents physically the online facility allows establishments to monitor their applications using a tracking ID. This initiative is projected to benefit approximately 100,000 members across 70 establishments by facilitating the transfer of nearly Rs 1,000 crores once their surrenders are approved.
