Message from the CommissionerI extend my Greetings to all the workers of the Coal Industry and the Members of the Coal Mines Provident Fund and Pensions Schemes in vogue , whose contributions along with the contributions of the employer-organisations are reposed with the Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation.
The Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation, formed as a statutory organisation by the Government of India , under the Central Legislation : the Coal Mines Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1948 ( Act No. 46 of 1948) is the premier organisation which is the repository and custodian of the provident fund and other contributions received from the members and their employer-organisations , both in the public and private sectors in the country .
As Commissioner, I request all of you: Let us uphold the mandate which the Government of India have bestowed on us in providing the social security dispensations under the said statute, and the schemes framed thereunder to all the members.
The computerisation of the accounts of the provident fund credit, and pension disbursements to the members under the Schemes in vogue has taken place and is functioning on a new platform from October 2006, networking all the regional jurisdictional offices of the Coal Mines Provident Fund Organisation through the BSNL Router instruments stationed at all regional offices, and the IBM Servers stationed at the Hyderabad and Dhanbad Offices. The benefits of computerisation and access by the members in obtaining speedy and error-free information on the internet work and IVRS will be more evident in near future with the consolidation and upgrading of the networking system in the CMPF Organisation. Efforts are on in this respect.
I have, as Commissioner, taken measures also to redress the grievances of the members , addressing their difficulties in the crediting of pensions in the saving bank accounts in the respective branches of the fourteen nationalized nodal banks, with whom we have entered into an Agreement to transfer the credit of pensions in the electronic crediting system , and core banking solutions which these banks have commissioned and are in operation .
The members can write to me, and also send their mail in the email address of the Commissioner, CMPF Organisation Headquarters Office at Dhanbad as under:
