EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Provident fund is a term for pension fund. It provides employee with lump sum payment at the
time of exit from the organisation so it differs from pension fund which have both elements of
lump sum as well monthly pension payments. As far differences from Gratuity fund is
concerned although both involve lump sum payment at employee exit from the organisation
but one is defined contribution fund while other is Defined benefit fund respectively.
The Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 came into effect on
4 March 1952. Six industries namely Cigarettes, Electrical, mechanical or general engineering
products, Iron and Steel, Paper and Textiles (made wholly or in part of cotton, wool or jute or
silk, whether natural or artificial) came under implementation of the Act wef 01-Nov-1952 The
organisation is administered by a Central Board of Trustees, composed of representatives of
the Government of India, State governments, Employers and Employees. The board is chaired
by the Union Labour Minister of India. The Chief Executive of the EPFO, the Central
Provident Fund Commissioner, reports to the Union Labour Minister through the Secretary of
Labour and Employment in the ministry. The headquarters of the organisation is in New Delhi.
The Constitution of India under "Directive Principles of State Policy" provides that the State
shall within the limits of its economic capacity make effective provision for securing the right
to work, to education and to public assistance in cases of unemployment, old-age, sickness &
disablement and undeserved want. The EPF & MP Act, 1952 was enacted by the Parliament of
India and came into force with effect from 4 March 1952 as part of a series of legislative
interventions made in this direction. Presently, the following three schemes are in operation
under the Act:

Ringi:-
The word Ringi in reality consists of two parts, the first being of “Rin” stands for submitting a
proposal to one’s supervisor and receiving their approval, the second “Gi” meaning
deliberations and decisions. The Ringi system is a traditional way of managerial decision-
making in Japan. The system involves circulating proposals to all managers in the firm who are
affected by an impending decision. The Ringi system goes through four stages: a. Proposal, b.
Circulation, c. Approval, d. Record. Proposals are generally initiated by middle managers,
though sometimes they may also come from top executives. In a “Ringi” system the ideas and
plans are discussed, developed, and refined in the informal meetings among the employees.
This activity of informal discussions is a kind of pre-meeting stage which is called as
“Nemawashi”. The key point of “Nemawashi” activity is to explain the details of an idea that is
being proposed to promote for a decision to be made. This “Nemawashi” activity of “Ringi”
system acts as an essential means of knitting together as many people as possible into the vital
function of the decision making process. The procedure of “Ringi” can be described in the
following way: it usually starts at the lower level of management, even if the initiator is a
higher-level manager, however, in almost every case he or she will give the idea to his or her
subordinate(s) and let him (them) propose it. There are at least three good reasons for that.
First, the first-line managers, as it is believed, are closer to the problem, and because of that,
they have more information about it. Second, it has to start at the managerial level because
decision-making is a typical managerial activity. Third, this is the way how the lower level
managers can demonstrate their managerial skills to their superiors.

THE AREA OF INTERNSHIP AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1.1 INTRODUCTION:-
Provident Fund:-
Employee’s Provident Fund is a benefit scheme for salaried individuals for their old age after their
retirement. It is not only tax saving instrument but it also provides security and stability to the
employee and his family as well. This scheme is facilitated in MSIL (Maruti Suzuki India Limited)
for its employees.
Under Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous provisions or PF act employees are
required to contribute 12% of their salaries towards Provident Fund (PF) with equal
contribution by their employers.
A joint Venture agreement was signed between Suzuki Motor Company of Japan and Maruti Udyog
Limited. As it is collaborated with a Japanese Motor Company it uses some Japanese terms and
one of them is RINGI.
RINGI:-
Ringi is a Japanese term which means “Request for Approval” abbreviated as RFA.
It is the mechanism by which approval related decisions are carried out in Maruti Suzuki India
Limited. The process and mechanism is described further in report.

1.2:- STUDY ON PROVIDENT FUND
Employee’s Provident Fund (EPF) is a benefit scheme for salaried individuals for their old age after
their retirement. It is not only tax saving instrument but it also provides security and stability to
the employee and his family as well.
Under Employee’s Provident Fund and Miscellaneous provisions act 1952 or PF act employees are
required to contribute 12% of their salaries towards Provident Fund (PF) with equal
contribution by their employers.
In the case of employee not being International Worker (IW) (foreign employees coming to India or
Indian going abroad for work) subject to conditions, it is mandatory for employer to contribute
towards PF if the number of employees in his firm is 20 or more having salary upto Rs 6,500
monthly. However, employees earning monthly salary more then Rs 6,500 can voluntarily
choose to contribute to the scheme.
✓ Salary for the purpose of PF: Salary for the purpose of PF would include basic wages,
dearness allowance (including cash value for food concession) and retaining allowance.
Basic wages means all emoluments earned by an employee while on duty/ leave/ holiday,
according to the terms of the employment or which are paid or payable in cash. This does not
include house-rent allowance, bonus, overtime allowance, commission or any other such
allowance.
✓ Contribution of employer for PF: Statutory rate of contribution is 12% (10% for spinning
sector and other specific industry) of the salary towards PF and it is tax-free under income
tax act. Out of 12% of the employer’s contribution 8.33% is required to be remitted towards
pension fund and 0.5% towards Employee’s Deposit Linked Insurance Scheme (EDLIS)’
1976.
✓ Contribution of employee towards PF: An employee can claim deduction upto Rs 1 lakh
per annum under section 80C of Income Tax Act 1961, on his contribution towards PF from
his taxable income.
Contribution of employee should be equal to the contribution payable by the employer.
However, the employee may at his option contribute an amount more than 12% subject to
condition that the employer shall not be under an obligation to contribute over and above his
contribution payable under PF act.
11
✓Interest on PF: Employees earn interest on both contribution done on his own and
Contribution made by his employer and interest earned up to 9.5% is exempted from tax.
✓Transfer of PF: If employee changes his employment then employee is required to change
his PF balance under new employer’s account. Such transfer does not entail any tax
implication on the employee.
12
1.3- Types of Provident Fund:-
✓ Recognised provident fund:- Most of individuals working fall under this type of
provident fund. This fund is applicable to an organisation which employs 20 or more employees. It's
important to note that all Recognised Provident Fund Schemes must be approved by The
Commissioner of Income Tax.
✓ Public Provident Fund:-In a public Provident Fund, individuals are free to contribute
an amount not exceeding Rs 70,000 per year by opening an account at a post office or
banks like ICICI Bank and State Bank of India. PPF can serve as an excellent
retirement planning tool, for those who do not come under any pension scheme. The
PPF offers tax benefit under section 8OC and the interest earned is also exempt from
tax. This has become an extremely popular government controlled scheme, which has
duration of 15 years with certain lock-in procedures to be followed.

1.4:- STUDY ON RINGI SYSTEM
The traditional decision-making process in Japanese firms is referred to as the “Ringi” system.
The word Ringi in reality consists of two parts, the first being of “Rin” stands for submitting a
proposal to one’s supervisor and receiving their approval, the second “Gi” meaning
deliberations and decisions. The Ringi system is a traditional way of managerial decision-
making in Japan. The system involves circulating proposals to all managers in the firm who are
affected by an impending decision. The Ringi system goes through four stages:
Proposals are generally initiated by middle managers, though sometimes they may also come
from top executives.
In a “Ringi” system the ideas and plans are discussed, developed, and refined in the informal
meetings among the employees. This activity of informal discussions is a kind of pre-meeting
stage which is called as “Nemawashi”. The key point of “Nemawashi” activity is to explain the
details of an idea that is being proposed to promote for a decision to be made. This
“Nemawashi” activity of “Ringi” system acts as an essential means of knitting together as
many people as possible into the vital function of the decision making process. The procedure
of “Ringi” can be described in the following way: it usually starts at the lower level of

he or she will give the idea to his or her subordinate(s) and let him (them) propose it. There are
at least three good reasons for that. First, the first-line managers, as it is believed, are closer to
the problem, and because of that, they have more information about it. Second, it has to start
at the managerial level because decision-making is a typical managerial activity. Third, this
is the way how the lower level managers can demonstrate their managerial skills to their
superiors.

1.5:- Process of Ringi System in Maruti:-
1. Purchaser makes a purchase order number in ERP based on proper Ringi Approval.
2. Material received by security at the Gate of MSIL.
3. Security in charge generates gate entry number after physical verification of material
based of invoice no.
4. Purchaser makes receipt in system based on invoice no. and sent it to the manger for
approval.
5. Manager generates a payment advice note.
Data collection:
The study is based on secondary data and examines the mechanism of Provident fund and
Ringi system.
Secondary data: Secondary data has been collected from various sources such as:

CHAPTER 2
PROFILE OF THE ORGANIZATION
16
2.1:- COMPANY PROFILE:-
MARUTI SUZUKI INDIA LIMITED (MSIL) was established in Feb 1981 through an Act of
Parliament, to meet the growing demand of a personal mode of transport caused by the lack of
an efficient public transport system. It was established with the objectives of - modernizing the
Indian automobile industry, producing fuel efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources and
producing indigenous utility cars for the growing needs of the Indian population. A license and
a Joint Venture agreement were signed with the Suzuki Motor Company of Japan in Oct 1983,
by which Suzuki acquired 26% of the equity and agreed to provide the latest technology as
well as Japanese management practices. Suzuki was preferred for the joint venture because of
its track record in manufacturing and selling small cars all over the world. There was an option
in the agreement to raise Suzuki’s equity to 40%, which it exercised in 1987. Five years later,
in 1992, Suzuki further increased its equity to 50% turning Maruti into a non-government
organization managed on the lines of Japanese management practices.
Maruti created history by going into production in a record 13 months. Maruti is the highest
volume car manufacturer in Asia, outside Japan and Korea, having produced over 5 million
vehicles by May 2005. Maruti is one of the most successful automobile joint ventures, and has
made profits every year since inception till 2000-01. In 2000-01, although Maruti generated
operating profits on an income of Rs 92.5 billion, high depreciation on new model launches
resulted in a book loss.
17
2.2:-COMPANY HISTORY AND BACKGROUND
The Evolution
Maruti’s history of evolution can be examined in four phases: two phases during pre-
liberalization period (1983-86, 1986-1992) and two phases during post-liberalization period (1992-
97, 1997-2002), followed by the full privatization of Maruti in June 2003 with the launch of an
initial public offering (IPO).The first phase started when Maruti rolled out its first car in December
1983. During the initial years Maruti had 883 employees, a capital of Rs. 607 million and profit of
Rs. 17 million without any tax obligation. From such a modest start the company
in just about a decade (beginning of second phase in 1992) had turned itself into an automobile giant
capturing about 80% of the market share in India. Employees grew to 2000 (end of first phase
1986), 3900 (end of second phase 1992) and 5700 in 1999. The profit after tax increased from Rs
18.67 mn in 1984 to Rs. 6854.54 mn in 1998 but started declining during 1997-2001.
During the pre-liberalization period (1983-1992) a major source of Maruti’s strength was the
wholehearted willingness of the Government of India to subscribe to Suzuki’s technology and the
principles and practices of Japanese management. Large number of Indian managers,
supervisors and workers were regularly sent to the Suzuki plants in Japan for training. Batches of
Japanese personnel came over to Maruti to train, supervise and manage. Maruti’s style of
management was essentially to follow Japanese management practices.
(a) Teamwork and recognition that each employee’s future growth and prosperity is totally
dependent on the company’s growth and prosperity (b) strict work discipline for individuals and the
organization (c) constant efforts to increase the productivity of labour and capital (d) steady
improvements in quality and reduction in costs (e) customer orientation (f) long-term objectives
and policies with the confidence to realize the goals (g) respect of law, ethics and human beings.
The “path to success” translated into practices that Maruti’s culture approximated from the
Japanese management practices.
Maruti adopted the norm of wearing a uniform of the same color and quality of the
fabric for all its employees thus giving an identity. All the employees ate in the same
canteen. They commuted in the same buses without any discrimination in seating
arrangements. Employee reported early in shifts so that there were no time loss in-
between shifts. Attendance approximated around 94-95%. The plant had an open
18
office system and practiced on-the-job training, quality circles, kaizen activities,
teamwork and job- rotation. Near-total transparency was introduced in the decision
making process. There were laid-down norms, principles and
procedures for group decision making. These practices were unheard of in other
Indian organizations but they worked well in Maruti. During the pre- liberalization
period the focus was solely on production. Employees were handsomely rewarded with
increasing bonus as Maruti produced more and sold more in a seller’s market
commanding an almost monopoly situation.
2.3:- Organization
19
2.4:- Vision
Visions of any company are those values on which company works. As the MUL is started by
Governmental initiatives it tends to be more consumer oriented and hence cost effective, but on
the other hand Suzuki’s participation ensures not only need of the profit, but of the need of
maximum profit. The only way for this Nora’s dilemma of selecting principals for company’s
working vision ,was to maximize profit and reducing cost by maximizing output and sales
Hence MUL declared its Vision as-
“The Leader in the Indian Automobile Industry, Creating Customer Delight1 and Shareholder's
Wealth2; eventually become a pride of India”
Customer Delight1 is making sure that performance, after sales service and customer support
are best and beyond expectation. Shareholder’s wealth2 is the prime concern for running
business smoothly.MUL knows this and understands “customer is king”, he can change the
fortune of any company, hence goes company’s brand line: COUNT ON US!
2.5:- Mission
Mission is the statement of an organization’s purpose, what it want to accomplish in the larger
environment and its goals which are specific, realistic and motivating. Missions are described
over visions and visions demand certain objectives. The main objectives/Missions of MUL
are:
- Modernization of the Indian Automobile Industry.
- Developing cars faster and selling them for less.
- Production of fuel-efficient vehicles to conserve scarce resources.
- Production of large number of motor vehicles which was necessary for economic growth.
- Market Penetration, Market Development Similarly Product Development and
Diversification.
- Partner relationship management, Value chain, Value delivery network.

Ringi is a written communication to seek management approval for a decision.
36
VI. Ringi Reference Number:
It is a unique number assigned to a Ringi with which the Ringi can be tracked /
important information of a Ringi can be fetched.
Authority in the organization is delegated at three levels and accordingly the Ringi’s have three
levels as mentioned in the table below:
A rule to remember: there may be some time difference between the change in organization
structure and the revision in table of Ringi approving authority. For other cases where there is a
change in the official (s) designated as final approving authority or change in the structure of a
function , next (higher) level of Ringi needs to be taken till the release of revised table of
approving authority.
37
3 Decision matrixes:
A decision matrix a kind of rule book to select appropriate level of Ringi. It contains the
following information:
The decision matrix contains various tables for different nature of activities. The following
table depicts the contents of the decision matrix.
38
4. Ringi Type:- Based on the nature of decision a Ringi is classified as follows,
• Policy
• Implementation
• Manual Ringi.
• Electronic Ringi (system based).
6. Ringi Storage: - A Ringi is a confidential and be used for internal purpose only. If a copy
is required, permission shall be obtained from the initiating authority. Approved Ringi needs to
be stored for future reference.
39
7. Ringi writing:

6. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSION:-
Contribution made to EPF and PPF gets deduction under Section 80C and the interest earned is
tax free. That is both works under EEE (Exempt, Exempt and Exempt) tax regime. However,
PF is better than PPF in two aspects -
✓ In the case of PF, the employer also contributes to the fund. There is no such
contribution in case of PPF.
✓ The rate of interest on PF is also marginally higher (currently 8.50%) than
interest on PPF (8%).
The “Ringi” decision making process is democratic in nature, with greater participation of
people, and easy for implementation as formal approval is made with a great involvement of
employees at all levels. For the “Ringi” system to operate effectively, certain conditions must
prevail. it calls for a good organizational culture with harmony among the employees and seeks
for a well organized communication pattern at work place. Much of the discussion, negotiation,
bargaining, and persuasion are performed through mobilization of personal networks. To make
this possible, organizational and physical setting must be such as to encourage regular and
frequent face-to-face interaction. Another basic condition to make the “Ringi” system effective
is a strong sense of shared understanding and values among participants. The “Ringi” system
receives criticism for its long process for consensus, and is perceived as a problematic one in a
cross cultural context as decision making procedures vary from culture to culture in the
international business. Even though the “Ringi” process is viewed as time consuming, it still
ranks high in appreciation for its nature of participatory management with collective decision
making procedure in an organization.
