RETGISTER NOW- EMPLPOYEE FUND PROVIDENT (EPF) 

Employees Provident Fund [EPF] is a scheme under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. EPF is normally like a benefit to an employee during the retirement provided by the organization.

Eligibility for employers to register under EPF Scheme:

  1. EPF registration is mandatory for all establishments-
  • which is a factory engaged in any industry having 20 or more persons, and
  • To any other establishment employing 20 or more persons or class of such establishments which the Central Government may, by notification specify in this behalf.
  1. Central Government may apply any establishment employing less than 20 employees after giving not less than two months’ notice for compulsory registration.
  2. Where the employer and majority of employees have agreed that the provisions of this act should be made applicable to the establishment, they may themselves apply to the Central PF Commissioner.

Amount of deduction:

The PF contribution of 12% should be divided equally between the employer and employee. The employer’s contribution is 12% of basic wages (+) dearness allowance (+) retaining allowance. If the establishment has employed less than 20 employees, PF deduction rate will be 10%.
