“There has been a 1% decrease on the benefits payable to the members in 2011 as compared with 2010. This is a decrease on investment income of Rs.5,049.303,683 in 2011,” Mr. Samaraweera stated in his audit review of October 10, 2013.
Out of the long term and short term investments amounting to Rs.63,169,398,923 made by the EPF in 76 companies in the share market by January 15, 2013, the value of investments made in 58 companies amounting to Rs.54,006,955,606 had diminished by Rs.ll,737,841,979.
