EPFO defaulting-employer list — employer name, default period, amount — is §4(1)(b) public-interest disclosure.
Employers' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) maintains a register of defaulting employers — those who have not deposited PF contributions deducted from employees. This list is public-interest information under §4(1)(b); worker protection demands proactive publication. Individual salary-slip-level employee data remains §8(1)(j) protected.
