What is Employee Provident Fund (EPF)?
The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory retirement savings scheme governed by the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Administered by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), this statutory benefit ensures long-term financial security for employees across India.
Under EPF regulations, every establishment employing 20 or more employees must mandatorily register with EPFO and contribute to the provident fund scheme. Both employer and employee contribute 12% of the basic wages towards the EPF corpus, building a substantial retirement fund over the employee's working tenure.
For Maharashtra's thriving industries—including manufacturing units in Pune, IT companies in Mumbai, financial institutions in Thane, educational establishments in Nagpur, and healthcare facilities across the state—EPF compliance is not merely a legal obligation but a cornerstone of responsible corporate governance.
