The main features of this Fund is that all Private and Semi Government sector Employers contribute 3% of the gross salary of their employees monthly to the Fund while the Fund implements a range of social and welfare benefits to the members during their employment. The special feature of the welfare benefits provided is that no recovery is made from the member’s balances for providing any of the social and welfare benefits. In addition, the member can withdraw the entire Fund balance lying to his credit at retirement or once in 05 years, if employment is changed. Presently the Fund has around 2.6 million members employed by 79,000 Employers and the value of the Fund as at end of December 2021 is Rs: 406 billion'
