Make public details of PF investments, asks Cong MP

A Congress member in the Lok Sabha on Thursday asked the government to come out with the details regarding provident fund being invested in the stock markets.

The government should "give the details on the provident fund which it is going to investments in stock market or any other investment area," Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury said.

He was participating in a discussion on resolution on 'Steps to ensure welfare of Employees Provident Fund pensioners'.

Concerns are being raised on investment of provident fund (PF) "which may affect the provident fund situation", he said, adding "thus the government should come clear on it."

Participating in the discussion, Nishikant Dubey (BJP) said naxal attacks have reduced in Jharkhand and cases of terrorism have shown a decline post-demonetisation.
