Introduction
The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a social security scheme designed to assist employees in saving a portion of their salary for future benefits, particularly during retirement. It serves as a financial safeguard, providing employees with a sense of security for their post-employment years.
Under the scope of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, every company is mandated to offer its employees an EPF online, also known as the Employees Provident Fund. The process of PF registration online is a crucial step for organisations with a total employee strength exceeding 20.
The EPF registration process is overseen by the Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO), which acts as the regulatory body ensuring the proper implementation and management of the EPF. Through this system, employees contribute a portion of their wages to the EPF, which, in turn, helps build a retirement fund for them. This initiative not only promotes financial prudence among employees but also establishes a framework for social security, contributing to their long-term well-being.
Eligibility
The following is the eligibility for Provident Fund
For Employers
PF registration is obligatory for all businesses or organizations with a workforce of 20 or more employees. Even if a business employs fewer than 20 people, it may still be required to register for PF if mandated by a central government notification.
For Employees
Employees earning a monthly income of less than ₹15,000 are required to enroll in the EPF scheme and make regular contributions. On the other hand, employees earning more than ₹15,000 per month at the time of joining are not compelled to contribute to PF. However, they have the option to voluntarily join the EPF and make contributions, subject to an agreement between the employer, the employee, and the Assistant PF Commissioner.
