Hon. (Dr.) Anil Jayantha stated that EPF administration by the Department of Labour and fund management by the Central Bank currently operate as separate systems, limiting continuous real-time access to member information. He said a joint programme with the Central Bank’s EPF management unit is under way to integrate these systems into a single online data platform, enabling employees and employers to access contribution and benefit services without visiting offices in person.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Mr. Deputy Speaker, as mentioned, currently there are two separate systems—administration under the Department of Labour of the Ministry of Labour and fund management under the Central Bank. While employees receive periodic information on receipts and postings, there is no continuous real-time method. We have already started a programme to integrate the two systems, jointly with the Central Bank and its EPF management unit. We expect to enable both employees and employers to access these services online through a single data system, avoiding the need to physically queue and allowing technology-based access to contribution remittances and benefit processes.
