  • The Labour Ministry rolled back the new restrictions imposed on withdrawing from the Employee Provident Fund.

    Under the February directive, the withdrawal was to be allowed only after the age of retirement- 58 was passed.

    Dattatreya said that the trade unions had requested for the roll-back.

    Labour ministry eases withdrawal of EPF
  • The labour ministry has eased the proposed restriction on withdrawal of EPF (Employee Provident Fund).

    The workers can only withdraw their contribution to their provident fund accounts. They will be able to withdraw the employer's contribution only after they are 58-years-old.

    The norms (coming into effect from August 2016) were being demanded by the labour unions to which the government has now acceded.

    Violent protests in Bengaluru against PF withdrawal norms
  • The new norms for withdrawal of provident fund led to violent protests by Bengaluru garment workers.

    The protesters blocked traffic on the bustling Mysore-Bengaluru highway and torched buses.

    Police opened fire in the air after vehicles parked inside Hebbagodi police station on Hosur Road were set on fire by the workers.

    62 people, including 24 policemen, were injured in the protests.

    Origin of the garment worker protest
  • The garment workers hailed from 5 factories, including Shahi Exports Pvt. Ltd., K. Mohan and Co Exports Pvt. Ltd. and Jockey.

    The police said the protest was leaderless and not very specific in its demands.

    It was alleged that a local Kannada newspaper had reported that workers would not be able to withdraw money from their PF accounts, which had triggered the panic.
