EPFO’s provisional payroll data released on 20thAugust, 2023 highlights that EPFO has added 17.89 lakh net members in the month of June, 2023. The data reveals that 3,491 establishments have extended social security cover of EPFO to their employees by remitting their first ECR during the month. Month-on month comparison of payroll data shows a growing trend in enrollment with an increase of around 9.71% net members over the previous month of May, 2023.The overall remittance also testifies the highest numbers in the last eleven months, since August, 2022.
The data indicates that around 10.14 lakh new members have enrolled during June, 2023 which is highest since August, 2022. Among the newly joined members, the age-group of 18-25 years constitutes 57.87% of total new members added during the month. This demonstrates an increasing trend in youth enrollment, who are mostly first-time job seekers joining the organized sector workforce of the country.
Payroll data suggests that approximately 12.65 lakh members exited but rejoined EPFO. These members switched their jobs and re-joined the establishments covered under EPFO and opted to transfer their accumulations instead of applying for final settlement thus, extending their social security protection.
Gender-wise analysis of payroll data represents that out of the total 10.14 lakh new members added during the month, around 2.81 lakh are new female members, joining EPFO for the first time. The percentage of new female members joining the organizedworkforce has been highest in the last 11 months. Also, the net female member addition during the month stood at around 3.93 lakh, which is also the highest since August, 2022.
State-wise analysis of payroll data denote that net member addition is highest in the 5 states of Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat and Haryana. These states constitute around 60.40% of net member addition, adding a total of 10.80 lakh members during the month. Of all the states, Maharashtra is leading by adding 20.54% of net members during the month.
Month-on-month comparison of industry-wise data displays significant growth in the members working in establishments engaged in Trading-Commercial Establishments, Building & Construction Industry, Electrical, Mechanical and General Engineering Products. This was followed by Textiles, Financing Establishment, Schools, Hospitals etc. Of the total net membership, around 40.36% addition is from expert services (consisting of manpower suppliers, normal contractors, security services, miscellaneous activities etc.).
The above payroll data is provisional since the data generation is a continuous exercise, as updating employee record is a continuous process. The previous data hence gets updated every month. From the month of April-2018, EPFO has been releasing payroll data covering the period September, 2017 onwards. In monthly payroll data, the count of members joining EPFO for the first time through Aadhaar validated Universal Account Number (UAN), existing members exiting from coverage of EPFO and those who exited but re-joining as members, is taken to arrive at net monthly payroll.

Around one hundred years ago, Gopal Krishna Gokhale ji, a renowned patriot of India said “What Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow.” The reason is that United Bengal produces/produced great personalities and stalwarts in all fields – games and sports, film, music, literature, politics, spirituality, etc. But the past glory in the present days has been fading. Whenever I visited across the State for academic activities in my service life, I was told “The people are Bhadralooks meaning gentleman to the core”. But in the last Assembly election in the State and this June 2023 during the filing of the nomination of the Panchayat election unprecedented violence took place in West Bengal and bloodshed and deaths which are very unfortunate also happened. As per India Today, New Delhi, June 19, 2023 “Ahead of the next month’s Panchayat polls in West Bengal, a cycle of violence has begun across the state, resulting in death and destruction, quite expectedly. Six people, including a ruling TMC worker, have been killed since the nominations began on June 9. Reports of violence have come from Cooch Behar, North and South 24 Parganas, Murshidabad, Birbhum, East Midnapore, and East Burdwan, among other places. Perhaps in no other Indian states, so much violence took place”. I feel this is a shame to “Bhadralooks”. Against this backdrop elections in Uttar Pradesh (UP) and Karnataka may be cited where there was no death or serious injury in recently completed elections. In UP, “In the Assembly elections of 2022, a total of 33 incidents of electoral violence took place. Of these 28 incidents happened before polling days and five happened on polling days in which no person was seriously injured or died,” Deccan Herald (March 9, 2022). In the recently held Assembly election in Karnataka, some minor incidents of violence took place but not a single case of death or serious injury was reported. Anyway, observing huge violence during the filing of nomination in the Panchayat election in West Bengal, the election issue was State police or deployment of Central force, and finally, “The Supreme Court on Tuesday (20/6/23) refused to interfere with an order of the Calcutta High Court directing the State Election Commission (SEC) to requisition and deploy central forces across West Bengal for the July 8 Panchayat polls. The pleas were filed by the West Bengal Government and the State Election Commission. Holding an election cannot be a license for violence,” a vacation bench of Justice B V Nagarathna and Justice Manoj Misra observed during the hearing (Mid-day, 21/6/23). It is observed from India Today (21/6/23) that “the Supreme Court, on June 20, rejected the Mamata Banerjee government’s challenge to deploying of central forces for the election. The Mamata government and the State Election Commission had opposed the Calcutta High Court’s directive that security during Panchayat polls be handled by central forces”. In another development, the Panchayat polls in Bengal should be stopped if the bloodbath continues, the Calcutta High Court observed on June 21, 2023. The court was hearing a case in connection with the disappearance of names of candidates contesting the election. According to Justice Amrita Sinha “So much violence in panchayat polls. The poll should be stopped if the bloodbath continues.” So, I suggest the Bhadralooks of West Bengal should take lessons from other states as killing, arson, injury, destruction of properties, etc., are highly deplorable in an election. Moreover, this is a state of “Bhadralooks”.

In the past decade, cryptocurrencies have become a widely popular asset class among investors. These digital currencies are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by any government or financial institution. Instead, they rely on blockchain technology to facilitate transactions and maintain their integrity. One such strategy that many beginners use is here in this link. This platform is a trading software that utilizes advanced algorithms to analyze the cryptocurrency market and predict profitable trades. This platform is designed to help beginners make informed decisions when trading cryptocurrencies.
While cryptocurrencies offer the potential for high returns, the market’s volatility can be daunting for beginners. For instance, the price of Bitcoin, the most popular cryptocurrency, has fluctuated from a few cents to almost $65,000 in just over a decade. This means that investing in cryptocurrencies requires a lot of research, knowledge, and a solid strategy.
The Bitcoin Loophole’s algorithm is based on the trading strategies of successful traders and investors. It scans the market 24/7, analyzing market trends and identifying profitable opportunities. Once it finds a profitable trade, it executes the transaction automatically, ensuring that investors can take advantage of the opportunity before the market changes.
The Bitcoin Loophole’s software is easy to use, making it a popular choice for beginners. Users can customize their trading parameters, such as the amount they want to invest and the risk they are willing to take. The platform also offers a demo account, which allows users to practice trading with virtual currency before investing real money.
While the Bitcoin Loophole can be an excellent tool for beginners, it is not a guarantee of profits. The cryptocurrency market remains highly volatile, and there is always a risk of losing money. Therefore, it is essential to research and understand the risks associated with cryptocurrency trading before investing.
In this article, we will explore the top 5 crypto trading strategies for beginners to help you make better investment decisions.
Buy and Hold Strategy
The Buy and Hold strategy is one of the most popular investment strategies in the cryptocurrency market. The strategy involves purchasing a cryptocurrency and holding onto it for a long time, with the hope that it will appreciate in value over time. This strategy requires patience, as the value of the cryptocurrency may fluctuate over time, but it can be a profitable strategy if you choose the right cryptocurrency.
Dollar-Cost Averaging Strategy
The Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy involves investing a fixed amount of money in a particular cryptocurrency at regular intervals, regardless of its market value. This strategy helps to reduce the risk of investing a large sum of money at once, as you invest a fixed amount of money over a more extended period. This strategy can be beneficial for beginners who want to invest in cryptocurrency without taking significant risks.
Swing Trading Strategy
Swing Trading involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies within a short time frame, usually a few days to a few weeks. The goal of this strategy is to capitalize on short-term price fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market. This strategy requires careful analysis of the market trends and understanding the technical indicators. It can be a profitable strategy, but it requires a high level of expertise and experience.
Scalping Strategy
Scalping is a trading strategy that involves buying and selling cryptocurrencies within a short period, usually a few minutes to a few hours. The goal of this strategy is to make a small profit from each trade, with the hope that these small profits will add up over time. This strategy requires a high level of expertise and experience, and it’s not recommended for beginners.
HODL Strategy
HODL (Hold on for Dear Life) is a popular investment strategy in the cryptocurrency market. This strategy involves holding onto a cryptocurrency for an extended period, regardless of its market value. The goal of this strategy is to capitalize on the long-term potential of a cryptocurrency. This strategy requires patience and a long-term investment horizon, but it can be a profitable strategy if you choose the right cryptocurrency.
Conclusion
The cryptocurrency market can be volatile, making it challenging for beginners to navigate. However, with the right strategies, you can make informed investment decisions that can help you capitalize on the potential profits in the market. The Buy and Hold strategy, Dollar-Cost Averaging strategy, Swing Trading strategy, Scalping strategy, and HODL strategy are all viable options for beginners, but it’s essential to choose the right strategy based on your investment goals and risk tolerance.
As we move further into the digital age, cryptocurrency is becoming an increasingly important aspect of our lives. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we do business, store value, and even interact with each other. In this article, we will explore the role of cryptocurrency in the digital age and its impact on various industries. One example of a platform that allows online trading of cryptocurrency is available here.
Cryptocurrency is a revolutionary and innovative form of digital currency that has taken the world by storm. It is a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to secure and verify transactions, ensuring that they are valid and legitimate.
Unlike traditional forms of currency, such as paper bills and coins, cryptocurrencies are purely digital, meaning that they exist solely in cyberspace. They are not backed by a central bank or government, but rather by the power of the blockchain, a decentralized ledger technology that ensures the security and transparency of all transactions.
The first cryptocurrency to be created was Bitcoin, which was introduced in 2009 by an anonymous individual or group of individuals using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Since then, thousands of other cryptocurrencies have been created, each with its unique features and characteristics.
One of the key advantages of cryptocurrency is its decentralization, which means that it is not subject to government or financial institution control. This allows for greater financial freedom and flexibility, as users can make transactions without the need for intermediaries or third parties.
Cryptocurrency and the Digital Economy
The digital economy has been growing rapidly in recent years, and cryptocurrency has played a significant role in this growth. It has made it possible for individuals and businesses to transact globally without the need for intermediaries such as banks. This has reduced the cost of transactions and increased their speed, making it easier for businesses to expand globally.
Cryptocurrency has also made it possible for individuals in countries with unstable currencies or inadequate banking infrastructure to store value securely. This has helped to reduce poverty and increase financial inclusion. Furthermore, cryptocurrency has made it possible for individuals to earn income through mining, trading, and other activities related to cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrency and the Financial Industry
Cryptocurrency has the potential to disrupt the traditional financial industry. It has already begun to challenge the dominance of traditional payment systems such as credit cards and wire transfers. Cryptocurrencies offer faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions than traditional payment systems.
In addition to this, cryptocurrency has made it possible for individuals to access financial services that were previously only available to those with high net worth or good credit scores. Cryptocurrencies such as stablecoins offer a more stable form of currency, which can be used as a means of payment or as a store of value. This has the potential to reduce financial exclusion and increase financial literacy.
Cryptocurrency and the Technology Industry
Cryptocurrency has had a profound impact on the technology industry, particularly in the area of blockchain technology. Blockchain, the foundation of most cryptocurrencies, is a revolutionary technology that has the potential to transform the way we store and share data. It is a secure and decentralized method of storing data that makes it less vulnerable to hacking and corruption.
One of the main benefits of blockchain technology is its ability to increase transparency, efficiency, and trust in various industries. For instance, in supply chain management, blockchain can help trace products from the manufacturer to the end-user, making it easier to verify authenticity and prevent fraud. This is especially critical for industries that deal with high-value goods, such as the diamond industry.
In the healthcare sector, blockchain technology can be used to store patient data securely, ensure its integrity, and make it easily accessible to authorized parties. This can improve patient care, reduce medical errors, and lower costs. Additionally, it can help address the issue of medical data breaches, which have become increasingly prevalent in recent years.
Conclusion
Cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize the way we do business, store value, and interact with each other. Its impact on various industries, including the digital economy, financial industry, and technology industry, has already been significant. As we continue to move further into the digital age, it is likely that the role of cryptocurrency will become even more important.
Cryptocurrencies have taken the world by storm, and the latest craze in the market is Floki. It is no surprise that investors and traders are flocking to this exciting new investment opportunity. However, before diving into the world of Floki, it is important to understand the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies. Bit Capex 360 is an online trading platform that enables investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
Floki is a decentralized digital currency that is not controlled by any government or financial institution. It operates on a blockchain technology network, which is a public ledger that records all transactions in a secure and transparent manner. However, despite its decentralized nature, the legality of cryptocurrencies like Floki is still a matter of debate in many countries.
The legal status of cryptocurrencies varies from country to country. Some countries have completely banned their use, while others have embraced them and are actively encouraging their adoption. In the United States, for example, cryptocurrencies are not illegal, but their use is heavily regulated. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has classified cryptocurrencies as commodities, which means that they are subject to certain regulations and oversight.
When it comes to trading cryptocurrencies like Floki, it is important to choose a reputable platform. However, before investing in Floki or any other cryptocurrency, it is crucial to understand the risks involved.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, and their prices can fluctuate rapidly. They are also vulnerable to hacking and cyber attacks, which can result in the loss of funds. Therefore, it is important to invest only what you can afford to lose and to keep your funds secure by using a reputable exchange and a secure wallet.
Regulation of cryptocurrencies
The world of cryptocurrencies has always been a controversial topic, with regulators and policymakers struggling to keep up with the rapid pace of technological innovation. The legal status of cryptocurrencies varies from country to country, with some countries banning them altogether, while others are more accepting of them.
In the United States, cryptocurrencies are considered commodities and are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also regulates some cryptocurrencies that are considered securities. It’s important to note that not all cryptocurrencies are considered securities, and therefore not all of them fall under the purview of the SEC.
Floki and the legal landscape
Floki is a relatively new cryptocurrency, and as such, there is still a lot of uncertainty surrounding its legal status. In general, cryptocurrencies are considered legal as long as they don’t violate any existing laws or regulations. However, some countries have taken a more cautious approach to cryptocurrencies, and it’s important to understand how Floki is being regulated in your jurisdiction.
In the United States, the SEC has not yet made any official statements regarding Floki. However, investors and traders should be aware that the SEC has cracked down on other cryptocurrencies that it deemed to be unregistered securities. It’s also important to note that the CFTC has issued warnings about the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrencies, and investors should do their due diligence before investing in any cryptocurrency.
Tax implications of investing in Floki
Investing in cryptocurrencies has become a popular form of investment for many people worldwide, but it is important to be aware of the potential tax implications. One such cryptocurrency that has gained significant attention is Floki, a digital currency named after the dog made famous by Elon Musk’s tweets.
In the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has classified cryptocurrencies as property for tax purposes. This classification means that just like other assets, such as stocks and bonds, capital gains tax applies when you sell or exchange your cryptocurrency for fiat currency (such as US dollars).
Capital gains tax is calculated by subtracting the cost basis, or the original purchase price, of the cryptocurrency from the selling price. The resulting amount is the taxable capital gain. It is important to keep accurate records of all cryptocurrency transactions, including the purchase price, date of purchase, and date of sale or exchange, to properly calculate the capital gains tax owed.
In addition to capital gains tax, other tax implications may arise when investing in cryptocurrencies. For example, if you receive cryptocurrency as payment for goods or services, the value of the cryptocurrency at the time of receipt is considered taxable income. Likewise, if you mine cryptocurrency, the value of the coins at the time of receipt is taxable income.
To ensure compliance with all tax regulations, it is crucial to consult with a tax professional who is knowledgeable about cryptocurrency taxation. A tax professional can help you navigate the complex tax implications of investing in cryptocurrencies like Floki, and ensure that you are reporting your cryptocurrency investments accurately on your tax returns.
Conclusion
Floki is an exciting new investment opportunity that has captured the attention of many investors and traders. However, it’s essential to understand the legal and regulatory landscape surrounding it before investing. While cryptocurrencies are generally considered legal, there are still many uncertainties and risks associated with investing in them. It’s important to do your due diligence and consult with a financial advisor before investing in any cryptocurrency.
