Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Protsahan Yojana 2023
The PMRPY was developed in order to incentivize the creation of new jobs in the formal sector. Under this scheme, the Government of India will pay the Employee Pension Scheme contribution of 8.33% for all new employees enrolling in EPFO for the first three years of their employment. This will encourage employers to recruit unemployed persons and also to bring into the books the informal employees. In order to channel this intervention toward the target group of semi-skilled and unskilled workers, the scheme will be applicable to those with a salary of up to Rs 15,000 per month.
Objectives Of the PMRPY Scheme
The Pradhan Mantri Rojgar Yojana (PMRY) scheme has been designed to encourage employers the generation of new employment. The Government of India will be paying the 8.33% EPS contribution of the employer for the new employment. A direct benefit is that these workers will have access to the social security benefits of the organized sector. This scheme also has two main benefits as-
- First, the employer is incentivized for increasing the employment base of workers in the establishment.
- Secondly, a large number of workers will find jobs in such establishments.
