The schemes we administer

A single solution for every retiral benefit.

Managing employee retirement benefit funds can be an endless exercise at many organizations. DKM provides a full range of high-quality retiral benefit schemes and consultancy, so PF, superannuation and gratuity are managed through a single platform.

Provident Fund

A retirement plan for the private and public sectors, intended to help employees save a certain portion of their salary in the event of retirement, disability or unemployment. The primary objective of the scheme is to provide social security and to inculcate amongst the workers a spirit of savings while they are employed and to make provision for their benefit after they retire from service.

Administered with the RPFC, or as an exempted PF Trust

Gratuity

A lump sum payment made to the employees based on the duration of their total service. The gratuity benefit is payable on termination of employment by taking the last drawn salary as the basis for the calculation. In case of unfortunate demise of the employee, his/her family members are given the sum amount. It is a form of gratitude provided to employees in monetary terms for the services rendered to the organization and an important form of social security benefit.

Gratuity Fund Trust administration

Superannuation

A type of retirement plan set up by a company for the benefit of its employees. These plans use funds deposited either by the company or by the employee with the funds growing in value until the employee retires. The plan is also known as the pension plan. Provision of pension may be an attraction for employees to continue in the organization and give their best, as a regular income even after retirement has become a necessity.

Superannuation Trust administration with LIC / private insurers

National Pension Scheme

Seamless NPS onboarding, contribution management, and compliance with full regulatory coordination — enrolment through the concerned POP, accurate deductions in payroll, monthly contribution submission, and support for members at retirement age.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers for trustees and CFOs.

What is the difference between PF with the RPFC and an exempted PF Trust?

Under the RPFC route, contributions are deposited with the EPFO and DKM manages the e-Sewa / UAN compliances, contributions, claims and inspections on your behalf. An exempted PF Trust holds and invests the fund itself; DKM then additionally administers investments, member balances, settlements, books of accounts, trustee meetings, TDS and income tax filings for the Trust.

Can DKM take over an existing Gratuity or Superannuation Trust?

Yes. We migrate the member data, balances and records, stabilise the monthly cycle, and take over liaison with the insurer or authorities. Where the trust deed needs changes, deed-of-variation formation and Income Tax approval are available at an additional one-time cost.

How are employee claims and transfers handled?

Claims are settled end to end with tax deduction, bank advice prepared and routed to the company for signatures, records updated and a digitally signed Form 16 issued. Transfer-ins are verified, applied to the concerned authority or insurer, followed up in person at the Mumbai, Bangalore, NCR and Chennai PF offices, and updated fortnightly to the employee.

What do trustees receive from DKM?

Monthly MIS — cash flow, fund flow, investment register, contribution and bank reconciliations and the interest-pending sheet — along with trustee meeting minutes, the annual balance sheet, income tax return and timely updates on changes in the applicable Act.

What can employees see themselves?

Through the self-service module on www.dkmonline.com and the DKM mobile app: their fund statement, transfer status, nomination details, withdrawal eligibility, and a query module — with login credentials provided to existing employees and new joiners.
