  The Labour Minister Shri Sis Ram Ola told the Central Board of Trustees of the Employees’ Provident Fund here today that the allotment of National Social Security Number cards to EPF subscribers would continue. Shri Ola said that there was no move to stop the allotment of NSS numbers. He said the distribution of cards was temporarily suspended as a two-member committee of officials was set up on the issue of review of Business Process Re-Engineering (BPR) of Employees’ Provident Fund. The Committee, which was asked to submit its report within one month, was set up following a unanimous demand by the members of Central Board of Trustees for a full report on the implementation of BPR.
