ORDER BY HON’BLE PRESIDENT- MR. P.K. PADHI:

                                                                                           JUDGMENT

            Complainant has filed this consumer complaint U/s.35 of C.P. Act, 2019 seeking following reliefs;

            “Direct the opposite parties to immediately pay the EPF amount of Rs.92,160/- as deducted from the salary of the complainant towards employees share along with proportionate amount of employers share to the complainant and also refund back the ESIC contribution deducted from the salary of the complainant of Rs.23,400/- and pay compensation towards mental agony and cost of litigation”.

            The grievance of complainant relates to EPFO which is a statutory body having it’s own mechanism for redressal of their grievance.

            We have heard both parties. Mr. Ranjan Panda appearing for opposite party organization fairly submits that EPFO will take up the issue on receipt of proper application and pass appropriate order.

            Since the dispute relates to EPFO and in view of the fair submission of Mr. Panda, Inspector EPFO and their having no deficiency in service or unfair trade practice as stipulated U/s.2(7) (47) of Consumer Protection Act, 2019 we find no merit and dismiss the consumer complaint. No cost.   

            Pronounced in the open Commission on this 21^st July,2023.
