A State Government has created the social security fund under the OSH Code, 2020. It wants to add other funding sources and to transfer part of the fund to a welfare fund created under another law for unorganised workers. Which statement is correct?

The Government may prescribe other sources of funding, and the fund may be administered by transferring money to a fund under any other law meant for unorganised workers' welfare. It is not limited to composition amounts and penalties.

  1. AOther sources may be prescribed, and the fund can be transferred to a fund under another law for unorganised workers' welfareCorrect
  2. BThe fund can only receive composition amounts and penalties, and no other source is allowed
  3. CThe fund can never be transferred out because it must remain separate
  4. DTransfers are allowed only to funds for organised sector employees

Explanation

The fund may be funded by other prescribed sources. It is administered as prescribed, which includes transfer to any fund under another law for the welfare of unorganised workers. The option limiting it to composition and penalty amounts ignores the provision for other sources.
