The Hon. (Mrs.) Oshani Umanga
Asked whether the Employees’ Provident Fund could introduce welfare-oriented benefits similar to those provided through the Employees’ Trust Fund, such as scholarships for high-performing students and assistance for cataract surgery and spectacles. The question noted that despite differing contribution levels, ETF appears to offer broader beneficiary services than EPF.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, although ETF benefits are 3% and EPF contributions are 20%, ETF services to beneficiaries, such as scholarships for high-performing students and support for medical procedures like cataract surgery and spectacles, seem broader than EPF’s. Will you consider similar supportive measures under EPF?
