PF Registration

Employees Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) provides social security to employees employed through EPFO ​​by providing salary, pension and insurance.

Applicability of EPF Policy to Businesses:

This policy is applicable to almost all businesses that employ 20 or more employees, either directly or through contractors.

If a business wants to register with EPFO ​​and has less than 20 employees, it can do so by getting certified with the employees.

All the employees of an establishment covered under EPFO whose basic + DA is less than 15000 and having date of joining on or after 01.09.2014 (earlier it was 6500) are eligible to join.

Here the term Basic means almost all the allowances earned by the employee except DA and HRA.

All the eligible employees need to be registered in the portal and contributions need to be paid from the subsequent month of their date of joining.

12% Employee contribution (on basic+DA earned by employee) (A/c 01)
