Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 and 3 only
Not every casual worker is automatically covered by the EPF scheme; coverage depends on factors like the establishment employing 20 + workers and wage thresholds, so statement 1 is incorrect. Labour statutes (e.g., Factories Act/Minimum Wages Rules) provide all workers—including casual labour—rights to regular hours and overtime pay, making statement 2 correct. Under the Payment of Wages (Amendment) Act 2017 the government may mandate that wages be paid only by cheque/bank credit, so statement 3 is correct. Therefore only 2 & 3 are correct ⇒ option (b).
