We have already heard the complainant on the point of admissibility of the complaint . The case has been filed by the complainant against the Regional P. F.Commission, Guwahati.
It is stated in the complaint petition that the complainant have applied for online P.F. transfer from his previous P. F. Account of M/S News Time , Pratidin to his present P.F. Account. In claim status the complainant got a massage claim settled on 18.4.2017 , but not a single penny has been transferred to his present account.
It is further submitted that regarding the complaint , the complainant contacted P.F.Office, Hyderabad, through P.F.Portal , also raised complaint against Guwahati P.F. Office etc.
It is prayed by the complainant to direct the opp.pary to transfer the due amount of Rs.99,807/- to complainant’s current P.F.account with interest and to pay an amount of Rs.1,00,000/- as compensation .
We have gone through the definition of consumer under the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and found Consumer means ,
7 (II) Hires or avails of any service for a consideration which has been paid or promised or partly paid and partly promised, or under any system of deferred payment and includes any beneficiary of such service other than the person who hires or avails of the services for consideration paid or promised, or partly paid and partly promised, or under any system of deferred payment, when such services are availed of with the approval of the first mentioned person,
Our view is that the complainant does not fall under the said definition of consumer. The grievance of the complainant against the opp.party is that the op.party had not transferred the amount of P.F. although the complainant applied for the same before the opp.party . There are specific law or rules to redress the grievance of the complainant an employee against the opp.party . Accordingly , the case is not admitted under section 38 of the consumer Protection act, 2019 .
Case is not admitted and dismissed .
