The Lt Governor also said the workers wanted to avail loans from their PF account "for various needs but did not know the balance."
The former IPS officer in tweets on April 6, had said that as per reports of PFofficials, there was a default by Puducherry PSUs and cooperatives societies in remittances of PF to the tune of Rs 36.23 crore.
Bedi also reiterated that "non-payment (of PF) is a criminal act. All undertakings and societies should therefore issue PF slips to workers."
