Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) for INTERNATIONAL WORKERS
A long-pending initiative of The
Government of India was for International workers or the employees posted
overseas or in other countries.
Consequently, for the benefit of both for the
employers and employees government of
India has entered into an agreement with several countries to ensure –
1. that the
employees of the home country do not remit contribution in that country
2. that employee gets
the benefit of the totalization period for deciding the eligibility for pension,
3. that they may
get the pension in the country where
they choose to live
4. that employers
are saved from making double social
security contributions for the same set of employees
For that reason, the EPFO
has been authorized to issue the Certificate
of Coverage (COC) to the employees posted to the countries having signed
Agreement with the Government of India.
