Files route DA \u2192 Section Supervisor \u2192 APFC, and an e-signed settlement certificate is issued after payment. (The circular also stands up EPFO&#8217;s internal machinery \u2014 Vishwas Cells, helpdesks, outreach, weekly\/fortnightly reviews and KPIs.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"><strong>Bottom line:<\/strong> a limited-time chance for employers to clear old or disputed PF damages at reduced rates and exit litigation \u2014 provided the underlying interest
