While assurance of transparancy by the Hon'be Minister is a welcome step, one has to wait and see how soon and how much of such assurances will be materialised. EPFO is one of the most inefficient and anti-subscriber organisations in this country. Although this huge organisation and its employees survive on the hard earned money of the employee-subscribers, they work as the old time "Rajas" of the princely States by dictatorial method of working. It is high time that a total revamp of the organisation is effected, so that the EPFO will work for the benefit of the employees who are member-su bscribers.
