FIR against IT firm accountant for not making PF, ESIC payments
The Mumbai police Tuesday registered an FIR against the accountant of an IT company who allegedly defrauded the company of over Rs 21 lakh by not making Provident Fund (PF) and Employee State Insurance Scheme (ESIC) payments on behalf of the company for nearly three years. The accused woman allegedly made fake PF and ESIC challans to claim payments were made on behalf of the over 60 employees. In addition to this, she allegedly edited other bills and payments that were to be made to clients and diverted the money to other accounts instead of making the entire payment. As per the FIR registered by the Pant Nagar police in Ghatkopar (east) on Tuesday based on a complaint by the director of a company, the accused was working at the Bhandup-based company since 2014. The company found that from November 2021 to November 2024, the accused had not made the payment towards PF and ESIC on behalf of the employees. An official said when a company employee responsible for transferring the money to PF and ESIC accounts told her that the payment status was not visible on the portal, she told him that the company had a financial problem and that the payment would be done once it was solved. When one of the employees complained to her that he was not receiving an SMS every month about PF being deposited in his account, she told him that since the company had not completed the KYC, the employees were not receiving messages. When he was about to complain to the director, she allegedly told him she can give him Rs 50,000 to help him financially. The company further found that several payments that were due to other clients too were not made in its entirety and fake ledger entries were made to conceal the same. Senior inspector of Pant Nagar Rajesh Kevale said that after the company started receiving intimations from PF and ESIC about no contributions being received, they started checking their accounts and found out about the fraud. Kevale said that based on the director's complaint, they registered an FIR against the woman on charges of cheating and forgery. No arrest has been made as yet.

The plan cleared by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, who also holds the municipal administration and urban development department, includes identifying gaps in segregation, reducing waste reduction, recycling and better disposal practices. The audit will be to assess waste composition, identify gaps in segregation at every major source like a school, market, commercial area etc., informed top officials. It is to help in recommending strategies for waste reduction, recycling, and better disposal practices. Householders will also be encouraged to separate wet and dry waste at the source itself with separate bins. Local bodies have been directed to promote composting of organic waste to reduce landfill problem burden and also generate compost at the household/community level. Composting units will be set up in schools to process organic waste like food and garden waste, they said. Sanitary workers at all levels will be profiled to ensure they get their dues, including ESI/PF benefits, even as health camps will be held. The action plan also involves fixing iron mesh over open drains to prevent the entry of solid waste – a major issue of municipalities - reduce blockages and enhance cleanliness. Desiltation of storm water drains, removal of debris to prevent water logging is also on cards. Apart from reworking the street vending units and testing for food quality, street food festivals are to be conducted. The ULBs have been told to promote urban greenery and beautification efforts like development of at least one traffic junction and a park. The 'Bhuvan' survey for identification of unassessed and under assessed properties to bring them in tax net is being revived as part of the drive in association with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). Identifying commercial and mixed properties lacking trade licences and collecting fee, door-to-door survey of all water supply house service connections for ward wise enumeration, and so on are among the activities earmarked during this period, they added.
