For record sake without going into merit or demerits..

Majority of these 4.79 ct are those who switched jobs...each time you switch.. you have a new PF account number. So that is not a correct bench mark to look upon statistically. .. If we have data on UAN numbers .. that might be 80-90 percent correct as UAN number get ported to new org.

Moreover above is true for formal sector.. Informal sector too adds lots of low / high skilled jobs for whom no data is available ( read as salary is paid in CASH)
Correct. However with the UAN you mentioned, its harder to have a new PF number without actually having a new Aadhar or the like. So, recent data can be taken more seriously!
Your point on informal sector is bang on. And, its not a small number.

Not sure if i understood it correctly or not..

Here is how it's working on ground..

If you have a UAN number, PF office will continue to use the same UAN but they will create a New PF account based on EPFO office location. So you will see 2-3 PF account numbers under one UAN. Once you have transferred the PF, you get form 60 and all your amount & EPS services gets xferred.


EPFO is getting new UAN only if you are new to job.. else merging et all is a big headache for them...

Problems are opaque rules..

You are correct.
I thought I said the same too.... :confused1:

Well anyway. When EPFO said x number of new subscribers are added, I thought they meant new UAN numbers, not the job shifting guys.
Not so sure anymore.

Indian economy gets the jobs boost it was lacking


View attachment 197360
Any granular data on where this jobs were created yesterday there was an article in economic times saying more people after covid were forced in the agricultural sector. Every day we have conflicting articles about the economy some say it's doing well others say it's doing crap

It's citing plfs and not contradicting what you claim to read yesterday.

Claims of spike in poverty in India during COVID-19 patently false, says paper co-authored by Arvind Panagariya



"One of the studies the paper critiques is the Azim Premji University Report (2021) based on the household income and expenditure survey, namely, Consumer Pyramids Household Survey (CHPS) conducted by the Center for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE).

The paper notes that the Azim Premji University study found massive employment losses, an increase in rural, urban and overall poverty and an increase in rural, urban and overall inequality.

In its criticism of this study, the paper by Mr. Panagariya and Mr. More notes that “rather than measure poverty and inequality directly from the expenditure survey, the report invents an event study to measure them. This is odd and suspect and we do not find it at all persuasive”. In its concluding remarks, the paper said “there remains a widespread belief that COVID-19 resulted in a massive increase in poverty in India”.

“But this observation sits awkwardly against the facts that the poor in India reside disproportionately in rural areas; They are heavily dependent on agriculture; Agriculture showed no deviation from its trend in earlier years and exhibited healthy growth throughout the COVID-19 era; and the government was quick to double down on its anti-poverty initiatives soon after the onset of COVID-19.” It said these factors suggest that there ought to be no perceptible rise in rural poverty."

This usually means land has been allocated IIRC. Looks like Foxconn's next plant is near bangalore.
Why no plants in Maharashtra Or Gujarat

Karnataka just ammended it's Labour Laws. Which helped them secure the deal. Check this out.

The Karnataka Legislative Assembly on February 22 passed a bill amending the Factories Act.
  • 4-day work week: increasing the number of hours of work from the existing nine hours up to twelve hours inclusive of rest intervals in any day subject to a maximum of 48 hours in any week subject to the written consent of such worker for such work, and the remaining days of the said week for the worker shall be paid holidays.
  • Extending the total number of hours of work by a worker without an interval to six hours to any group or class or description of factories to facilitate the increase in the maximum daily hours of work due to provisions of flexibility in working hours.
  • Women Workforce Related: Women permitted to work at night and work overtime
  • Overtime: Overtime payable for a six-day work week, five-day work week and four-day work week
  • Overtime hours per quarter extended from seventy-five to one hundred and forty-four hours, allowing factories to engage workers on overtime for an increased period in a quarter.

Now the next key thing is to find how much of the money will stay in India instead of being expatriated out.
