Tribunal designation clarified: Industrial Tribunal now serves under the Employees' Provident Funds Act, altering jurisdiction and status.

The amendment substitutes the definition of Tribunal to mean the Industrial Tribunal constituted under the Industrial Disputes Act and provides that that Industrial Tribunal shall serve as the Tribunal for this Act and exercise its jurisdiction, powers and authority. It omits several sections dealing with tribunal matters and declares the referred authorities and every inspector to be deemed a public servant under the Indian Penal Code, while removing a clause from the Act's service-related provision.
