Ananya, a Company Secretary, advises that the Central Board of Trustees of the Employees' Provident Fund under the Code on Social Security, 2020 includes representatives of employers and employees. How many persons representing employers and how many representing employees may the Central Government appoint?
The Central Board includes ten persons representing employers and ten persons representing employees, appointed by the Central Government after consulting recognised organisations. The figure fifteen applies to the maximum number of State Government representatives, not to employer or employee members.
- ATen representing employers and ten representing employeesCorrect
- BFive representing employers and five representing employees
- CFifteen representing employers and ten representing employees
- DTen representing employers and fifteen representing employees
Explanation
Section 4(1)(d) provides ten persons representing employers and section 4(1)(e) provides ten persons representing employees, each appointed after consultation with recognised organisations. The figure of fifteen relates to the State Government representatives (not more than fifteen), which is why options C and D mislead.
