IN TRODUCTION OF THE TOPIC
EMPLOYEE’S PROVIDENT FUND (EPF)

7
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (abbreviated to EPFO), is an
Organization tasked to assist the Central Board of Trustees, a statutory body
formed by the Employees' Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act,
1952 and is under the administrative control of the Ministry of Labour and
Employment, .
You may know it as that annoying, elusive chunk of your monthly salary that you
aren’t able to spend. So what is it, and where does it go?
Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement benefit scheme that’s available

to all salaried employees. This fund is maintained and overseen by the Employees
Provident Fund Organization of India (EPFO) and any company with over 20
employees is required by law to register with the EPFO.
It’s a savings platform that helps employees save a fraction of their salary every
month that can be used in the event that you are rendered unable to work, or upon
retirement.
8
Definition: The Employee Provident Fund, popularly known as PF is the
retirement saving scheme available to all the salaried employees, is backed by the
government on which fixed interest is paid.
The employee provident fund is administered by the Employees Provident

Fund Organization (EPFO), a statutory body developed by the government
of India under the Ministry of Labor and Employment. It is formed to
administer the mandatory contribution towards the PF scheme by both the
employees and employers. The Employee Provident Fund offers the
following features:
Definition
Employer
An employer is defined as a person(s) with whom an employee has a contract of
service or apprenticeship.
Employer includes:
 Manager, agent or person responsible for the payment of wages to an

'employee'
 Any group of persons whether statutory or non-statutory or incorporated
 Any Government, Government Department, Statutory Body, Local
Authority or other bodies as specified in the Second Schedule to the EPF
Act 1991
Employee
An employee is defined as a person who is employed under a contract of service or
apprenticeship. The contract of service or apprenticeship can be written or oral,
expressed or implied.
Wages
All remuneration in money due to an employee under his contract of service or
apprenticeship whether it was agreed to be paid monthly, weekly, daily or
otherwise.
9
Among the payments that are liable for EPF contribution:
 Salary
 Payment for unutilised annual or medical leave
 Bonus
 Allowance
 Commission
 Incentive
 Arrears of wages
 Wages for maternity leave
 Wages for study leave
 Wages for half day leave
 Other payments under services contract or otherwise
EPF Contribution Breakup with Example:

Let’s look at this with a basic example:
Mr. Babu starts working with a basic salary of Rs. 20,000, and receives a 5%
increment in salary every year.
He has worked for 35 years (starting at age 20, up to age 60) and has contributed
12% of his basic salary, which has been matched by his employer as 3.67% to EPF
and 8.67% to EPS.
His total contribution in 35 working years has been Rs. 26.01 lakh and the
company has contributed Rs. 7.95 lakh, making it a total contribution of Rs. 33.96
lakh.
This amount will grow to a total of Rs. 1.38 crore at the time of his
retirement! (Assuming the rate of interest stays constant at 8.5%).
EPF withdrawal without employer signature

On realizing that getting the approval or attestation of an employer to facilitate
a PF withdrawal has caused quite a bit of trouble for many employees, the EPFO
has circumvented the process and now employees can make withdrawals without
the attestation of their employers. The introduction of the UAN in the EPF had
brought about this change, as now, employees just have to link their Aadhaar card
to their UAN to make a withdrawal. Having said that, now making a withdrawal
without the signature of the employer has two ways - with or without an Aadhaar
card.
10
With an Aadhaar card:
 Now just by linking the employee’s Aadhaar card to his/her UAN, the whole
process of getting the signature of one’s employer has been skipped for good.
 To facilitate a smooth process, employees should make sure that their
Aadhaar card details and bank details are embedded in the EPFO’s member
portal.
 The employer should have verified both - the Aadhaar card and the bank
details.
 The employee has to make sure that his/her UAN has been activated before
starting the process of making a withdrawal.
 Once you have met these conditions, download Form 19- UAN (for making
PF withdrawals) and Form 10C- UAN (for making withdrawals from one’s
pension scheme).
 Now, enter your name, address, registered mobile number, PAN card
number, and the employee’s reason for leaving and date of joining. The
employee should make sure that the details match that on one’s Aadhaar card and
bank details. Any discrepancies could lead to a rejection of the application or a
delay.
 Next, the employee should attach a cancelled cheque to the form and submit
it to the regional EPF office.
Making a withdrawal without an Aadhaar Card:

 This process could be a little of an inconvenience, but if it is your last resort,
then follow the process mentioned below.
 The employee should download the Form 19, Form 31 or Form 10C from
the EPFO’s member portal, depending on where the withdrawal is going to made
from.
 Once filled, the form has to be attested by an authorised signatory, such as a
Gazetted officer, manager of a bank, magistrate, etc. While doing so, the
authorized signatory has to sign every page of the form.
 Since you’ll have to state a reason for not getting the employer’s signature,
state “Non-cooperation”.
 Next, the employer will have to attach an indemnity bond with a 100 Rupee
stamp paper, attach one’s payslips, employment ID, appointment letter and Form
19.
 As a proof of address and identity, submit your regular KYC documents
along with the attested form and cancelled cheque and the other papers of
verification at the regional EPF office.
11
EPF customer care
For those employees wishing make queries regarding their PF account, be a delay
in a claim being raised, discrepancies with regard to their contributions, inability to
make a withdrawal and so on, the EPFO has a dedicated customer care service. For
the those who are new to the EPF, follow the steps to find the EPFO’s customer
care toll free number:
 Log on to the EPFO’s member portal
 On the top of the page, click on the ‘Contact Us’ button
 Once you have done that, the EPFO’s customer care toll free number will be
displayed - based on the region the employer is located in.
EPFO digital signature

To make the process of transfer claims easier and transparent, the EPFO has
introduced the digital signature of employers. Now, employers can approve claims
by using their digital signatures. When an employer shifts organisations, his
transfer claim has to be attested by either his previous employer or the present one,
and this is when the digital signature of the employer comes into play. Back then,
employers had to fill Form 13 and get it signed by their employers and then submit
it to the regional EPF office. Now, the process has been simplified and can be done
on the EPFO’s member portal. To have a digital signature, employers have to
apply for a digital certificate- which contains their personal details such as name,
email ID, APNIC account name, public key and the country of the employer. The
digital certificate is issued by the Certifying authority and contains this
identification key contains their required details that will be embedded in the
EPFO’s member portal.
EPFO grievance
For employees who want to register a grievance, the EPFO has a dedicated part of
their member portal for employees to fill in a grievance registration form and file a
complaint. Employees usually face grievances with regard to withdrawals, PF
settlements, transfer of accounts, settlement of pension and so on. For those who
are new to the EPFO’s member portal, follow the steps to register a grievance:
 Visit the EPFO’s member portal - http://www.epfdelhi.gov.in/grievances.asp
 On the bottom of the screen, click on ‘EPF grievance system’.
 The page will then be directed to the EPFO’s grievance management system.
On that page click on ‘Register grievance’ on the top bar.
 Once you have done that, the grievance registration form will be displayed.
12
 Now, fill in the registration form:
 Enter your status (Employer, employee, EPS pensioner)
 Enter your PF account number
 Then, enter where your regional EPF office is located
 Next, enter the name of your establishment and the address of your
establishment
 After that, enter your name, address, pincode, country, phone number
and email ID.
 The last part is to enter the grievance category - whether it is a transfer
or withdrawal related issue, a pension settlement issue, etc. Select your
grievance from the drop down bar.
 Upload your grievance letter, enter the captcha and submit your
grievance registration.
 Idle EPF account will earn interest

 On April 1, 2011, the government of India decided against adding interest to
EPF accounts that have been inoperable for 36 months or more. That meant,
that despite the fact that some employees had money on their PF accounts,
yet were inoperable, no interest was added to their funds. On November 11,
2016, the government reversed their decision and now, even inoperable EPF
accounts will reap the benefits of having interest against it. As of 2015-2016,
the interest added to EPF accounts was at 8.8% per annum. This applies to
employees who have not withdrawn all their money from their PF accounts.
UAN (UNIVERSAL ACCOUNT NUMBER)

The UAN is a 12-digit unique number that has been given to every PF member.
Before the introduction of the UAN, employees were inconvenienced by the fact
that they had to keep shifting their accounts when they shift organisations, but
now, the UAN controls all PF accounts of an employee and it can be functioned as
one account. The UAN has made almost all processes of the EPF easier and
convenient. Some of the benefits are:
 All PF accounts of an employee are unified and can be treated as one
account under the UAN.
 Transfer from one PF account to another PF account can be done using the
UAN.
 Using the UAN, employees can now make withdrawals from their PF
accounts. For those employees who have linked their Aadhaar card to their UAN,
they do not need the attestation of their employers to make a withdrawal.
13
 Using the UAN, employees can track their accounts, check the contributions,
balance of their account and can manage their PF accounts all by themselves,
without the hassle of their employer.
WHAT IS UNIFIELD PORTAL
Unified Portal – Employee Services. Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is a
social security scheme for employees in India. ... Further, all employee related
services like account transfer, EPF account balance check and claims have been
brought under UAN and the Unified Portal
WHAT IS CLAIM STATUS

What your claim status means. Your claim will be placed in "deferred,"
"accepted," "denied," or "closed" status, depending on where it is in the
process. If you're ever unsure about what your claim status means, contact
your adjuster.
How to check EPF balance

Back in the day, EPF members could check their balance only once a year, to
verify their contributions withdrawals and their outstanding balance. Now, with the
introduction of the EPFO’s member portal and the UAN, checking one’s EPF
balance is just a few clicks away. To check one’s EPF balance on the EPFO’s
member portal, follow the steps:
14
 Visit the EPFO’s member portal -
http://www.epfindia.com/site_en/KYEPFB.php
 Next, click on ‘Know your balance’ at the bottom of the screen
 Then, select the location of your regional EPF office
 Enter your PF account number and your mobile number
 Once you have done that, click on ‘submit’. In a few seconds you will
receive a text message of your EPF balance
To check balance.
EPF E-Sewat
In April 2012, the EPFO launched the E-Sewa which is basically an online receipt
of the Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR). Employers can enroll themselves for
this facility just by registering their establishment code, their unique ID and
choosing a secured password on the portal. The introduction has made the whole
process of returns paperless, as now employers can view the electronic challan on
the portal, view the annual account slips and can even print it if required. Once
they have made a return, an SMS will alert them of the same.
EPF Helpline
For EPF members who need help navigating through the processes of the EPF or
facing difficulties, the EPFO has set up a dedicated helpline to come to the aid of
such members. The toll free helpline of the EPF is 1800118005.
Benefits of linking your Aadhaar card to your UAN
Since the Aadhaar card has now become the most valid source of identification in
the country, linking one’s Aadhaar card to an employee’s UAN has enabled
employees to make withdrawals, transfers and so on without the attestation of their
employers.

establishments that generate income. The Income Tax Act, 1961 regulates the
collection, recovery, and administration of income tax in India. The government
requires the tax amount for various purposes ranging from building the
infrastructure to paying the state and central government's employees. It helps the
government in generating a steady source of income that is used for the
development of the nation.
24
The income tax is paid every month from the monthly earnings, however, it is
calculated on an annual basis. The amount of income tax an individual has to pay
depends on many factors.
DRICT TAX V/S INDRICT TAX
Direct taxes are paid in entirety by a taxpayer directly to the government. It is also
defined as the tax where the liability as well as the burden to pay it resides on the
same individual. Direct taxes are collected by the central government as well as

capability for taxpayers with an online banking account. ... One is the regular way
of posting the same through challan at banks and the other is the e-payment of
income tax.

26
E P F OF THE PROCESS
The objectives of KYC guidelines is to prevent banks from being used,

intentionally or unintentionally, by criminal elements for money laundering

27
28
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PPF &EPF
PPF, a statutory scheme by the central government, started with the objective of

providing old age income security to self-employed individuals and workers from
unorganised sectors. EPF, on the other hand, is a retirement benefit applicable only
for salaried employees.
29
what is the purpose and scope of the employees provident fund act
The employee provident fund is administered by the Employees Provident

Fund Organization (EPFO), a statutory body developed by the government of
India under the Ministry of Labor and Employment. It is formed to administer the
mandatory contribution towards the PF scheme by both the employees and
employers.
30
1.Why transfer your PF?
Once an individual starts his career by taking up employment in any of the PF
registered organization, an employee would be registered for PF purpose and both
employee and employer contributions to employee’s PF and the fund earns interest
till withdrawal. Further, it is not uncommon especially in early or mid-years of the
career, to switch job for various reasons with or without break. In such scenarios,
what happens to the PF account of the employee already created with the previous
employer?
The employee will have two options in such cases.
 Employee’s contribution with interest can be withdrawn if the employee

continues to be on break for up to 60 days; or
 Transfer the balance to the current employer
As already mentioned, in order to make it an ideal saving for retirement it is

always better to transfer the PF balance instead of withdrawing. This is also
advisable from the tax standpoint as withdrawal of PF within 5 years of continuous
service attracts tax.
2. How to use UAN to transfer PF online?

The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has been taking several
measures to simplify the operation of EPF account both for employer and
employees. Keeping up with technology revolution, EPFO is also striving towards
making all the process related to EPF electronic, more specifically PF transfer and
withdrawal of PF which are generally tedious and time-consuming.
EPFO introduced Universal Account Number (UAN), which acts as an umbrella
for the multiple Member Ids allotted to an individual by different employers. UAN
enables linking of multiple EPF Accounts (Member Id) allotted to a single
member. UAN offers a bouquet of services like dynamically updated UAN card,
updated PF passbook including all transfer-in details, facility to link previous
members’ ID with present ID, monthly SMS regarding credit of contribution in PF
account and facility for auto-triggering transfer request on change of employment.
31
3. Info or documents to keep ready before
transferring the PF online
While the PF transfer was possible online earlier under ‘Online Transfer Claim
Portal’, with the introduction of UAN, the process of transfer is revised and shifted
under ‘unified portal’. However, in order to make online PF transfer, please ensure
the following.
i. The member should have activated his UAN in UAN portal and mobile number
used for activation should also be active
ii. Bank account and bank IFSC code of employee should be seeded against the
UAN Seeding Aadhar number and PAN against UAN is not mandatory for raising
transfer claims.
iii. The employer should have approved the e-KYC

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOVERNMENT JOB AND

PRIVATE JOB EPF
The government jobs are different for each country. ...
The difference in job conditions between government and private sectors
(mostly in context of India) are as following. You are appointed for a government
jobs by independent authorities like UPSC, PSC, SSC etc. while the private sector
appoint their own people.
32
WHAT IS EPF V/S NPS
- Tax Benefits: Under section 80C, the employees’ contribution into the EPF is
allowed to be deducted up to Rs 1,50,000. This is the maximum amount that can be
deducted from a subscriber’s basic salary. As for NPS, subscribers can get a
maximum of Rs 2 lakh in total, according to the Income-tax (I-T) Act. EPF offers
its subscribers to save tax at all the three levels of contribution, interest accrual and
at the time of withdrawal after retirement. However, NPS offers tax saving at the
first two stages of contribution and interest accrual, but withdrawals are taxable.
The lumpsum withdrawal in NPS will be exempt up to 40 percent of such
withdrawals.
2- Equity Exposure: EPF subscribers are allowed to invest a maximum of 15 per

cent of their salary into equity. NPS subscribers can have up to 75 per cent equity
exposure.
3. Flexibility: NPS is more flexible than EPF. In case of EPF, the subscriber
cannot choose his/her fund manager, whereas NPS offers this flexibility. As of
now, there are seven fund managers offering varying rates of returns. These seven
fund managers are HDFC Pension Fund, ICICI Prudential Pension, Kotak Pension
Fund, LIC Pension Fund, Reliance Capital Pension, SBI Pension Fund and UTI
Retirement Solutions.
.4 Accounts: EPF subscribers are allowed to operate only one account that is

linked to the UAN. As for NPS, subscribers can open two accounts, where the first
one is compulsory and the second one is a voluntary account. One should note that
in the second account of NPS withdrawal is permitted.
5. Mandatory/ Optional: EPF is compulsory for every company in which 20 or
more people are employed. The NPS account is mandatory only for government
employees. However, private sector employees can also open an NPS account and
avail its benefits.
33
EPF is implemented by the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO)
ofIndia. EPFO is a statutory body of the Indian Government under Labour and
Employment Ministry. It is one of the largest social security organizations in the
world in terms of members and volume of financial transactions undertaken.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EPF V/S PF
He had a very basic question: What is the difference between PPF and PF? The

Employee Provident Fund, or provident fund as it is normally referred to, is a
retirement benefit scheme that is available to salaried employees. ... So, let's say
the employee decides 15% must be deducted towards the EPF.
PRIVATE INCOME FUND

A private investment fund is an investment company that does not solicit capital
from retail investors or the general public. To be classified as a private investment
fund, a fund must meet one of the exemptions outlined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940.
PUBLIC FUND
Public fund refers to the funds of every political division of a state wherein taxes

are levied for public purposes. The term public fund also covers: 1. the revenue or
money of a government, state, or municipal corporation.
34
Difference between GPF and EPF?
GPF is available only for government employees while Employee’s Provident
Fund (EPF) is a retirement benefit scheme that’s available to all salaried
employees.
What is EPF?
The Employee Provident Fund, or provident fund as it is normally referred to, is a

retirement benefit scheme that is available to salaried employees.
What is GPF?
GPF or General Provident Fund account is a provident fund account which is

available for government employees. A government employee can become a
member of the fund by contributing a certain percentage of their salary to the
account. The accumulations in the fund is paid to the government employee at the
time of superannuation or retirement.
GPF Eligibility:
Any government employee who is a resident of India is eligible for the General
Provident Fund account. The account is mandatory for a certain salary class
employed with the government. Employees working with private companies are
not eligible for the account.
35
How does GPF Work?
General Provident Fund is a savings tool for individuals employed with the
government in India. In the account, the account holder contributes a part of their
salary into the account in regular instalments for a certain period of time.

Company profile
The Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) of India is a non-profit circulation-
auditing organization. It certifies and audits the circulations of major publications,
including newspapers and magazines in India.
ABC is a voluntary organization initiated in 1948 that operates in different parts of
the world. Until 1948, the concept of circulation audit was yet to be made in India
and the publishers had no means to verify the actual circulation number of
publications that they used for advertising and had to depend more on their own
judgment. Publishers also found it difficult to convince advertisers of the relative
values of their publication for the purpose of advertising. It is with this background
that eminent representatives of the advertising profession and publishing industry
came together to establish an organization which could serve the common interest.
Since then the benefit of ABC certificates of circulation have been availed by
advertisers, advertising agencies, publishers and organizations connected with print
media advertising. See List of newspapers in India by circular.
The Times of India (TOI) is an Indian English-language daily newspaper owned

by The Times Group. It is the third -largest newspaper in India by circulation and
largest selling English-language daily in the world according to Audit Bureau of
Circulations (India). It is the oldest English-language newspaper in India still in
circulation, with its first edition published in 1838. and the second-oldest Indian
newspaper still in circulation after the Bombay Samachar. Near the beginning of
the 20th century, Lord Curzon, the Viceroy of India, called The Times of
India "the leading paper in Asia". In 1991, the BBC ranked The Times of
India among the world's six best newspapers.
It is owned and published by Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd., which is owned by
the Sahu Jain family. In the Brand Trust Report 2012 The Times of India was
ranked 88th among India's most-trusted brands. In 2017, however, the newspaper
was ranked 355th
Beginnings
The Times of India issued its first edition on 3 November 1838 as The Bombay
Times and Journal of Commerce. The paper published Wednesdays and
Saturdays under the direction of Raobahadur Narayan Dinanath Velkar, a
Maharashtrian Reformist, and contained news from Britain and the world, as well
38
as the Indian Subcontinent. J.E. Brennan was its first editor. In 1850, it began to
publish daily editions.
In 1860, editor Robert Knight (1825–1892) bought the Indian shareholders'
interests, merged with rival Bombay Standard, and started India's first news
agency. It wired Times dispatches to papers across the country and became the
Indian agent for Reuters news service. In 1861, he changed the name from the
Bombay Times and Standard to The Times of India. Knight fought for a press free
of prior restraint or intimidation, frequently resisting the attempts by governments,
business interests, and cultural spokesmen and led the paper to national
prominence. In the 19th century, this newspaper company employed more than 800
people and had a sizeable circulation in India and Europe.
Bennett and Coleman ownership
Subsequently The Times of India saw its ownership change several times until
1892 when an English journalist named Thomas Jewell Bennett along with Frank
Morris Coleman (who later drowned in the 1915 sinking of the SS Persia) acquired
the newspaper through their new joint stock company, Bennett, Coleman & Co.
Ltd.
Under the Government of India
Following the Vivian Bose Commission report indicating serious wrongdoings of
the Dalmia–Jain group, on 28 August 1969, the Bombay High Court, under Justice
J. L. Nain, passed an interim order to disband the existing board of Bennett
Coleman and to constitute a new board under the Government. The bench ruled
that "Under these circumstances, the best thing would be to pass such orders on the
assumption that the allegations made by the petitioners that the affairs of the
company were being conducted in a manner prejudicial to public interest and to the
interests of the Company are correct".Following that order, Shanti Prasad Jain
ceased to be a director and the company ran with new directors on board,
appointed by the Government of India, with the exception of a lone stenographer
of the Jains. Curiously, the court appointed D K Kunte as Chairman of the Board.
Kunte had no prior business experience and was also an opposition member of
the Lok Sabha.
Back to the Jain family
In 1976, during the Emergency in India, the Government transferred ownership of
the newspaper back to Ashok Kumar Jain (Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain's
son, Ramkrishna Dalmia's grandson and the father of Samir Jain and Vineet
Jain). The Jains too often landed themselves in various money laundering scams
and Ashok Kumar Jain had to flee the country when the Enforcement
39
Directorate pursued his case strongly in 1998 for alleged violations of illegal
transfer of funds (to the tune of US$1.25 million) to an overseas account
in Switzerland.
During the Emergency
On 26 June 1975, the day after India declared a state of emergency,
the Bombay edition of The Times of India carried an entry in its obituary column
that read "D.E.M. O'Cracy, beloved husband of T.Ruth, father of L.I.Bertie,
brother of Faith, Hope and Justice expired on 25 June". The move was a critique of
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's 21-month state of emergency, which is now widely
known as "the Emergency" and seen by many as a roundly authoritarian era of
Indian government.
The Times in the 21st century
In late 2006, Times Group acquired Vijayanand Printers Limited (VPL). VPL
previously published two Kannada newspapers, Vijay Karnataka and Usha Kiran,
and an English daily, Vijay Times. Vijay Karnataka was the leader in the Kannada
newspaper segment then.
The paper launched a Chennai edition, 12 April 2008. It launched a Kolhapur
edition, February 2013.

S W O T Analysis Times Of India Newspaper
1 India: SWOT Analysis For Indians who have access to western education and

possess english speaking skills, times couldn’t have been better. A generation ago,
no one could have imagined the plethora of job options available today – IT, BPO,
media, finance, insurance. Even traditional professions like journalism provide
many more opportunities than they did a couple of decades ago. Economic
upliftment can be seen clearly in most parts of urban India. Perhaps, the concept of
middle class values...
Definition: SWOT stands for 'Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats'.
This is a method of analysis of the environment and the company's standing in it.
Strengths
 History of the paper: The paper that dates back to 1924 has a strong history
of great people who have written articles for it. The rich history of the paper
has made it a forerunner in the publication space in India and made it strongly
associated with Indian sentiments.
 Presence across channels: Hindustan Times has a presence in most
channels of media through its social media website desimartini.com, job
portal shine.com and radio Fever 104 FM. This ensured that the brand HT was
continuously visible to the customer which in turn improved brand recall.
 Reach: Hindustan Times is a popular newspaper amongst old and young.
The newspaper is popular in North India and has circulation in New Delhi,
Mumbai, Kolkata, Lucknow, Patna, Ranchi, Bhopal Chandigarh, and Jaipur.
This ensures that it has a maximum reach in these parts and access to the
audience across.
 Advertising Support: The paper has a wide circulation and reach and is
credible because of the history it is associated with. Moreover, it enjoys wide
readership amongst all age groups and all this has made it immensely popular
amongst advertisers which acts as its
42
WEAKNESSES
 Lack of leadership in South India: Though Hindustan Times is a popular

newspaper in the North, the same cannot be said of South India. This prevents
it from being the biggest news publication in the country.
 Pro-Congress approach: The newspaper which was started by the Akalis to
reach out to non-Punjabi readers had a strong Congress orientation right from
the beginning. This has made it part of various controversies and dimmed its
popularity amongst other party supporters.
 More ads in competing newspapers: The race to the finishing line for any
publication is about how many advertisements it is able to garner.
Compromise of quality: Newspapers are in a constant bid to increase their

readership and thus in continuous touch with what readers demand. In a bid to stay
in the race they often try to sensationalize events and this, in turn, affects the
quality of the news drastically.
OPPORTUNITIES
 Sensationalisation of events: Today media is robust and press activity at its
peak. Every news irrespective of whether it is small or big can be
sensationalized and this creates fodder for newspapers and every new bit of
juicy information creates a circulation boom.
 More features, more revenue: Newspapers are trying their best to innovate
to the maximum extent possible. Some of this includes adding new features
like blogs, entertainment news, cartoons, games etc and each feature would
mean more revenue streams.
 The building of long-term relationship: Newspapers often thrive on brand
loyalty for which they need to build a bond with the reader. Once the bond is
built it is difficult for the link to break. Hindustan Times through its history
has been able to build a strong relationship with its readers.
THREATS
 Internet: Everything on the Internet like social media, entertainment
websites, blogs, and shopping has almost replaced the newspaper in the minds
of the younger generation. Advertisers are also preferring to go online as
43
against advertising in newspapers and all this is likely to affect the industry at
large.
INTRODUCTIO TO INDUSTRY The Times of India (TOI) is an Indian

English-language daily newspaper. According to Audit Bureau of Circulations,
it has the largest circulation among all English-language newspapers in the
world, across all formats (broadsheet, tabloid, compact, Berliner and online).
In 2008, the newspaper reported that (with a circulation of over 3.14 million)
it was certified by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (India) as the world's
largest selling English-language daily, ranking.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
RESEARCH
Research is careful and organized study or gathering of

information about a specific topic. An example of research is a project where
scientists try to find a cure for AIDS. An example of research is the information a
high school student tracks down information for a school report.
Research methodology is a science of studying how research is to be carried out.

Essentially, the procedures by which researchers go about their work of
describing, explaining and predicting phenomena are called research
methodology. It is also defined as the study of methods by which knowledge is
gained.

A research design is an arrangement of conditions or collections.
Descriptive (e.g., case-study, naturalistic observation, survey) Correlational (e.g.,
case-control study, observational study) Semi-experimental (e.g., field experiment,
quasi-experiment) Experimental (experiment with random assignment)
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH

Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or
phenomenon being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the
characteristics occurred.
Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or

phenomenon being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the
characteristics occurred. Rather it addresses the "what" question (what are the
characteristics of the population or situation being studied?)The characteristics
used to describe the situation or population are usually some kind of categorical
scheme also known as descriptive categories. For example, the periodic
table categorizes the elements. Scientists use knowledge about the nature of
electrons, protons and neutrons to devise this categorical scheme. We now take for
granted the periodic table, yet it took descriptive research to devise it. Descriptive
research generally precedes explanatory research. For example, over time the
periodic table’s description of the elements allowed scientists to explain chemical
reaction and make sound prediction when elements were combined. Hence,
descriptive research cannot describe what caused a situation. Thus, descriptive
research cannot be used as the basis of a causal relationship, where one variable
affects another. In other words, descriptive research can be said to have a low
requirement for internal validity.

PAPULATION
A population is a complete set of people with a specialized set of

characteristics, and a sample is a subset of the population. ... The study
population is the subset of the target population available for study (e.g.
schizophrenics in the researcher's town). The study sample is the sample chosen
from the study population.
Population sampling is the process of taking a subset of subjects that is

representative of the entire population. The sample must have sufficient size to
warrant statistical analysis.
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
A sampling technique is the name or other

identification of the specific process by which the entities of the sample have been
selected.
Methods of sampling from a population
1. Simple random sampling. In this case each individual is chosen entirely by
chance and each member of the population has an equal chance, or probability, of
being selected.
2. Systematic sampling
3. Stratified sampling.
4. Clustered sampling.
5. Convenience sampling.
6. Quota sampling.
7. Judgement (or Purposive) Sampling.
8. Snowball sampling.
SAMPLING DESIGN (SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING)
A probability sample is a sample in which every unit in the population has a

chance (greater than zero) of being selected in the sample, and this probability can
be accurately determined.
54
SAMPLE SIZE
Sample size determination is the act of choosing the number of

observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an
important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences
about a population from a sample.
In this study also convenience sampling is applied. The sample size of the study is
100 employees.
AREA OF THE STUDY
The area of study is recruitment and selection at The Times of India in Lucknow.
PERIOD OF STUDY
The study period of the project work was for 45-60 days.
DATA COLLECTION
The data collected by the research were purely based in the primary data and was
less dependent on secondary data.
SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data was collected from personal department files and records,
company broachers, magazines and journals.

Scope and purpose
Sampling is a means of selecting a subset of units from a target population for the
purpose of collecting information. This information is used to draw inferences
about the population as a whole. The subset of units that are selected is called a
sample. The sample design encompasses all aspects of how to group units on the
frame, determine the sample size, allocate the sample to the various classifications
of frame units, and finally, select the sample. Choices in sample design are
influenced by many factors, including the desired level of precision and detail of
the information to be produced, the availability of appropriate sampling frames, the
availability of suitable auxiliary variables for stratification and sample selection,
the estimation methods that will be used and the available budget in terms of time
and resources.
58
Principles
There are two types of sampling: non-probability and probability sampling. Non-
probability sampling uses a subjective method of selecting units from a population,
and is generally fast, easy and inexpensive. Therefore, it's sometimes useful to
perform things like preliminary studies, focus groups or follow-up studies.
However, in order to make inferences about the population, one must make the
often false assumption that the sample is representative. Probability sampling is
based on three basic principles that make up the statistical framework. First, it is
based on randomization, i.e. the units in the sample are selected at random.
Second, all survey population units have a known positive probability of being
selected in the sample, and third, we can calculate those probabilities, which are
then used to calculate estimates along with estimates of the sampling error. The
ability to make reliable inferences about the entire population and to quantify the
error in the estimates makes probability sampling the best choice for most
statistical programs.
The sample design should be as simple as possible. The aim is to produce estimates
that are both precise and accurate enough to meet survey requirements. Precision is
measured by the variance of an estimator. Lack of accuracy manifests itself
through biases which are often introduced via non-sampling factors such as
inaccurate reporting, processing, and measurement, as well as errors from
nonresponse and incomplete reporting.
Guidelines
Design
 When determining sample size, take into account the required levels of
precision needed for the survey estimates, the type of design (e.g.,
clustering, stratification) and estimator to be used, the availability of
auxiliary and contact information, budgetary constraints, as well as other
factors, such as nonresponse, presence of out-of-scope units, attrition in
longitudinal surveys, etc. For periodic surveys, take into a
Methods
 For highly skewed populations, create a stratum of large units to be included
in the survey with certainty (the so-called take-all stratum). These large units
would normally account for a significant portion of the population totals. In
order to reduce respondent burden, the creation of a stratum of very small
59
units to be excluded from the surveyed population is sometimes appropriate.
See Baillargeon et al. (2007). It is important to distinguish between the non-
surveyed portion of the survey population (the take-none stratum) which is
part of the survey population but not sampled and the out-of-scope units
which are not part of the survey population. The contribution for the take-
none stratum may be estimated using models.
 Sometimes the information needed to stratify the population is not available
on the frame. In such cases, a two-phase (or double) sampling scheme may
be used, whereby a large sample is selected in the first phase to obtain the
required stratification information. This first sample is then stratified and in
the second phase, a subsample is selected from each stratum within the first-
phase sample. Consider the cost of sampling at each phase, the availability
of the information required at each phase, and the gain in precision obtained
by stratifying the first-phase sample.
Periodic surveys
 For periodic surveys that use designs in which the sample size grows as the
population increases, it is often appropriate to develop a method to keep the
sample size and therefore collection costs, stable. One approach is to use a
random drop method to maintain a stable sample size over time.
 For periodic surveys, make the design as flexible as possible to deal with
future changes, such as increases or decreases in sample size, restratification,
resampling and updating of selection probabilities. If estimates are required
for specified domains of interest (e.g., subprovincial estimates), form the
strata by combining small stable units related to the identified domains (e.g.,
small geographical areas), if possible. Future changes in definitions of the
strata will then be easier to accommodate.
 For periodic surveys, if efficient estimates of change are required or if
response burden is a concern, use a rotation sampling scheme that replaces
part of the sample in each period. The choice of the rotation rate will be a
compromise between the precision required for the estimates of change and
the response burden on the reporting units. Lowering the rotation rate will
increase the precision of the estimates of change but may lower the response
rate over time because of increased response burden. A low rotation rate has
the additional benefit of reducing costs if the first contact is substantially
more expensive than subsequent contacts.
 For periodic surveys, develop procedures to monitor the quality of the
sample design over time. Set up an update strategy for the selective redesign
of strata that have suffered serious.
60
Longitudinal surveys
 For longitudinal panel surveys, determine the length of the panel (its
duration of time in the sample) by balancing the need for duration data with
sample attrition and conditioning effects. Use a design with overlapping
panels (i.e.with overlapping time span) when there is a need to produce
cross-sectional estimates along with the longitudinal ones.
 It is particularly important to choose simple design features (i.e., one single
frame) with as few stages or phases as possible as the estimation procedures
becomes extremely complex with the number of waves.
 It is recommended that longitudinal surveys should be designed primarily to
produce longitudinal estimates. Trying to satisfy both cross-sectional and
longitudinal requirements can result in very complex design and estimation
procedures. If production of cross-sectional estimates is required, the use of
a "top-up" sample to cover births and new immigrants is recommended.
Implementation
 At the implementation stage, compare the size and characteristics of the
actual sample to what was expected. Compare the precision of the estimates
to the planned objectives. Reassess the assumptions used at the design stage.
For example, evaluate nonresponse (non-contacts, refusals, etc.) and
calculate design effects.
 Where possible, use generalized sample selection software instead of tailor-
made systems. One such system is the Generalized Sampling System
(GSAM) developed by Statistics Canada. GSAM is especially useful for
managing sample selection and rotation for periodic surveys. By using
generalized systems, one can expect fewer programming errors, as well as
some reduction in development costs and time.
Documentation
 Write detailed and thorough documentation of all aspects of the sample

design: which frames were chosen and why, how units were formed, how
they were stratified, how sample size was determined and how sample was
allocated, choice of stages and/or phases, which sampling schemes were
used and why, and so on.
Quality indicators
61
Main quality element: accuracy
In addition to the points below, the reader should consult Statistics Canada Policy
on informing users of data quality and methodology, which includes information
that is pertinent here, particularly section E.1, subsection 2.3.
 Provide measures of the representativity of the sample: overcoverage and
undercoverage, exclusions, comparisons to external sources (e.g. compare
external demographic totals to those obtained from the survey).
 Compare the sample size observed to the expected sample size. This is
especially important for multistage surveys where the sample size below the
first stage may be hard to predict accurately.
 Compare response, attrition and out-of-scope rates to those that were
assumed at the planning stage.
 Provide measures of sampling error: produce variances and/or CVs and
compare them to the values expected at the planning stage; if design effects
were used at the planning stage, compare them to realized design effects.
 For variables that were used to stratify the frame and/or allocate the sample,
compare their observed CVs to their target values from the design stage.
 If possible, compare the observed homogeneity of strata to their
homogeneity when they were formed; for a repeated survey, track the
deterioration of the strata over time. Measure the frequency of stratum
jumpers and of classification errors.

encourages students to work through all five steps, but they recognize that
engineers can jump between steps or work on just one or two steps before passing
their work on to another team.
