KUALA LUMPUR: The Employees Provident Fund (EPF) yesterday announced that effective Aug 1 all newly registered employers are required to submit their monthly employees’ monthly contribution details (Form A) online via e-Caruman.

e-Caruman is an online facility via i-Akaun at myEPF website (www.kwsp.gov.my).

It offers employers the convenience of submitting the Form A electronically in a time-saving and secure manner.

EPF deputy chief executive officer for operations Datuk Ibrahim Taib said the pension fund was providing a three-month grace period to newly registered employers to ensure that they are familiar with the e-Caruman facility.

The manual Form A would no longer be provided to new employers three months after their registration date, he said in a statement.

“For the benefits of employers, submission of employees’ EPF contribution details online via e-Caruman will reduce the number of errors that could happen in manual forms and saves valuable time.

“In the long term, e-Caruman helps to enhance employers’ operational efficiency and cost effectiveness,” Ibrahim added.

The main advantages of e-Caruman, among others, included the fact that transactions can be conducted at anytime and anywhere.

There is an average of 5,000 new employers registering with the EPF each month, the statement added. — Bernama
