EPFO data given to non-government researchers for the first time. EPFO was unaware of the access

The study that claimed 7 million people would be added to the payroll in 2017-18 was triggered by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), which had asked the NITI Aayog last October to give “quick indicators for direct or indirect reflections on employment data” to be able to arrive at “desired trends in employment at the earliest.”

The NITI Aayog, in turn, helped the authors of the study — Towards a Payroll Reporting in India to gain access to data of around 80 million Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) subscribers. Since this database is not in the public domain, the Aayog acquired the data from the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation’s (EPFO’s) national data centre office in Hyderabad and passed it on to the authors — Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Bangalore Professor Pulak Ghosh and State Bank of India (SBI) Chief Economist Soumya Kanti Ghosh — who arrived at their estimates on payroll addition based on that. The government’s think tank also allowed the authors to work from its offices.
