**EPFO Approves Liberalised Partial Withdrawal Rules to Benefit Over 70 Million Account Holders**
In a significant reform aimed at enhancing the ease of living for more than 70 million account holders, the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has approved liberalised partial withdrawal rules. This landmark decision allows members to withdraw up to 100 per cent of their eligible provident fund balance, reported PTI.
The announcement came during the Central Board of Trustees (CBT) meeting chaired by Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. The board resolved to simplify the existing 13 complex withdrawal rules into three clear categories:
– **Essential Needs** (such as illness, education, marriage)
– **Housing Needs**
– **Special Circumstances**
### Key Highlights of the New Withdrawal Rules
– **Full withdrawal (100%) allowed:** Both employee and employer contributions can be withdrawn entirely under specified conditions.
– **Increased withdrawal limits:** Education-related withdrawals can be made up to 10 times the previous limits, and marriage withdrawals up to 5 times, a significant jump from the earlier combined limit of 3 times.
– **Reduced minimum service requirement:** Members are now eligible for partial withdrawals after just 12 months of service.
– **Easier claims under Special Circumstances:** Members no longer need to specify reasons, reducing the chance of claim rejections.
– **Minimum balance to retain:** A minimum balance of 25 per cent must be retained in the account to ensure long-term retirement savings are protected.
– **Documentation-free processing:** The new process aims for 100 per cent auto-settlement of claims, making withdrawals faster and hassle-free.
### Revised Final Settlement Rules
The CBT also approved changes to the final settlement timelines:
– The waiting period for full EPF withdrawal has been reduced from 2 months to **12 months** after leaving an employer.
– The timeline for final pension withdrawal has been extended to **36 months** to safeguard pension benefits.
### ‘Vishwas Scheme’ Introduced to Ease Litigation
To minimize litigation, EPFO introduced the ‘Vishwas Scheme’ to resolve pending penalty cases under Section 14B. The scheme offers a flat penalty rate of 1 per cent per month, with reduced rates for shorter defaults. It covers both pending and ongoing litigations and will be operational for 6 months, extendable by another 6 months.
### Doorstep Digital Life Certificate Service for Pensioners
The board also approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) to provide doorstep Digital Life Certificate (DLC) services free of charge to EPS 1995 pensioners. This initiative aims to help elderly pensioners, especially in rural areas, continue receiving their pensions smoothly without hassle.
### EPFO 3.0: A Member-Centric Digital Revamp
As part of the EPFO 3.0 digital transformation, a new member-centric digital framework was approved. Key features include:
– Integration with core banking solutions
– Adoption of cloud-native technology
– API-first architecture to enable faster, automated claims
– Payroll-linked contributions
– Multi-language self-service portals
### Investment Strategy and Digital Initiatives
Four fund managers have been selected to manage EPFO’s debt investment portfolio for a five-year term, ensuring safe and effective investment of retirement savings.
Minister Mansukh Mandaviya also launched several key digital initiatives focused on enhancing the efficiency and user-friendliness of EPFO services, reinforcing the organisation’s commitment to delivering seamless experiences to members.

**Chief Minister Mohan Yadav Launches Three-Day Pulse Polio Immunization Campaign in Madhya Pradesh**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief Minister Mohan Yadav emphasized the vital importance of the polio vaccine, stating that it not only safeguards a child for life but also forms the foundation of a healthy, strong, and self-reliant nation. He appealed to all parents to ensure that no child is left without the protection of the polio vaccine.
On Sunday morning, the Chief Minister inaugurated the three-day Pulse Polio Immunization Campaign (October 12-14) at CM House by administering polio drops to 12 children, marking the formal launch of the drive.
Under this campaign, polio drops will be given to children from October 12 to 14 across 18 districts, including Anuppur, Betul, Bhind, Bhopal, Chhindwara, Datia, Dewas, Gwalior, Narmadapuram, Jabalpur, Katni, Khandwa, Khargone, Mandla, Mandsaur, Morena, Narsinghpur, and Neemuch.
The Chief Minister highlighted that over 64,000 personnel will be involved in administering polio drops at more than 24,000 Pulse Polio booths throughout the state. In addition to fixed booths, teams will conduct door-to-door visits to ensure every child receives the vaccine and remains safe and healthy for life.
More than 39.19 lakh children within the targeted age group across these 18 districts are expected to benefit from the vaccination drive.
Mohan Yadav stressed that the fight against polio will succeed only if every parent ensures their child receives the two essential drops during each campaign. He added that Madhya Pradesh is progressing steadily toward realizing Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of a healthy and strong India.
“Public participation is the greatest strength of this campaign,” Yadav said, expressing confidence that with collective effort, Madhya Pradesh will soon become polio-free.

The state-of-the-art Yatri Suvidha Kendra, designed to accommodate around 7,000 passengers simultaneously, aims to improve pre-boarding comfort and passenger flow, especially during the festive season when travel volumes surge.
Speaking at the inspection, Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “The newly developed Yatri Suvidha Kendra will provide great comfort to passengers during the festival season, as there is a surge in passenger volume. Similar facilities will be developed at other stations across the country.”
The Yatri Suvidha Kendra has been thoughtfully divided into three dedicated zones: Pre-Ticketing, Ticketing, and Post-Ticketing, covering a total area of over 5,200 square metres. The design aims to decongest entry points and streamline passenger movement.
### Modern Facilities and Passenger Amenities
The Kendra is equipped with a range of modern infrastructure and passenger-centric amenities, including:
– **Ticketing Facilities:** 22 ticket counters and 25 Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMs).
– **Comfort & Capacity:** Seating for 200 passengers and 18 High Volume Low Speed (HVLS) fans for effective cooling.
– **Sanitation & Water:** A 652 sq. m. toilet block and an RO-based drinking water system.
– **Information Systems:** 24 speakers for announcements, three LED train information displays, and seven fire-fighting units.
– **Security Measures:** 18 CCTV cameras, five luggage scanners, and five Door Frame Metal Detectors (DFMDs).
The Northern Railway undertook the project while overcoming multiple structural and logistical challenges, including relocating ATMs, police cabins, hoardings, and essential utilities such as water lines and optical fibre cables—all without disrupting ongoing station operations.
Additionally, the extension of Foot Over Bridge 1 (FOB 1) was completed alongside the project. This extension enables smoother passenger movement from platforms directly toward the Metro Station, significantly enhancing last-mile connectivity.
Minister Vaishnaw was accompanied by Railway Board Chairman and CEO Satish Kumar, Northern Railway General Manager Ashok Kumar Verma, and other senior officials during the inspection. They briefed the minister on the project’s execution and features.
The development of the Yatri Suvidha Kendra underscores the Railways Ministry’s commitment to modernising passenger infrastructure and ensuring world-class facilities for millions of daily commuters across India.

Hopes within the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of bringing the Democratic Party for the People (DPP) into a new alliance to secure a lower house majority have been dashed. The DPP signaled skepticism over joining a coalition that would not function meaningfully, casting doubt on the possibility of a stable partnership.
Currently, the LDP holds 196 seats on its own, while the Constitutional Democratic Party (CDP) controls 148. Opposition parties argue that a united front among the top three opposition groups could surpass the ruling party’s numbers. The CDP has even suggested backing DPP leader Tamaki as prime minister in a joint opposition strategy.
Tamaki has expressed readiness to serve if chosen but stressed the need for policy alignment before any partnership could form. Leaders of the Japan Innovation Party echoed this call for deeper consensus on policy priorities, warning that cooperation without shared principles would be difficult.
Even Komeito, now in opposition, has not ruled out cooperating with opposition forces on specific policies. However, it remains unlikely to support a non-LDP prime ministerial candidate outright, given its history of joint policymaking with the LDP. The party also emphasized that resolving the politics and money scandals contributing to the coalition’s collapse is essential for regaining public trust.
Political analysts say three main scenarios now loom:
1. The LDP could delay the prime ministerial vote while seeking a new coalition partner.
2. Opposition parties could unite to seize power, potentially elevating Tamaki to the premiership.
3. Takaichi could form a minority government, possibly calling a snap election after passing a supplementary budget.
Any of these outcomes would leave Japan facing a period of political instability and legislative gridlock.
Commentators warn that the upheaval has exposed deeper issues in Japan’s democracy. Notably, only 0.7% of the electorate participated in the LDP leadership vote that elevated Takaichi, despite her finishing third in the initial parliamentary ballot. This highlights the outsized influence of party factions in the process.
Critics suggest that Takaichi’s “Japan is back” slogan signals a return to the Abe-era policies of aggressive monetary easing and corporate stimulus. This raises questions about whether such an agenda truly serves the public interest amid stagnant wages, demographic decline, and fiscal strain.
Furthermore, scandals surrounding the Unification Church, the Moritomo Gakuen document falsification case, and the return of controversial figures linked to past political wrongdoing have further eroded public trust and fueled Komeito’s frustration.
With pressing challenges such as social security reform, foreign policy strategy, and support for a struggling middle class still unresolved, commentators argue that Japan is at a turning point. The question now is whether a new era of cooperative, citizen-driven democracy can emerge from the current turmoil or whether entrenched political dynamics will once again prevail.
