Relevance of this news: Karma Management Global Solutions Pvt Ltd is in the business of HR Services, Payroll, Outsourcing, and Regulatory Compliances right from its inception in 2004 since then, it has brought in a lot of efficiencies and technological upgradations with experts on its role, to ease the hassles of Payroll Processing, Temp Staffing, On-boarding, Employee Life Cycle, Statutory, Regulatory, and Payroll compliances by providing customized solutions to all its elite clients.

Recently, it has diversified into foreign shores as well, into countries like the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Philippines, and Asia for handling payroll, outsourcing, recruitment, and governance.
And in this instance: This matter has been adjourned to 24/5/2023 on the basis of learned counsel Rajesh Hooda’s prayer for giving time to file the reply. The contention of the petitioner is that though the employees have contributed amounts under para 26(6) EPFO Scheme 1952, beyond the ceiling fixed, but their pension is not being fixed on the basis of the said deposit on the ground of lack of exercise of option under the pension scheme. In support of his contention, learned counsel has relied upon the decision dated 4/10/2006 rendered by the Honourable Supreme court in civil appeal nos. 10013 – 10014 of 2016 titled R C Gupta and others versus Regional Provident Fund Commissioner Employees Provident Fund Organization and others etc. to contend that the scheme is beneficial in nature, therefore it cannot be construed narrowly particularly when their deposits towards the provident fund scheme have already been accepted by the Provident Fund Commissioner.
