What is Employee Provident Fund (EPF)?
The Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory social security and retirement savings scheme administered by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). It is governed under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, one of India's most significant labour welfare legislations.
Under EPF, both the employer and employee contribute 12% of the employee's basic wages monthly towards a retirement corpus. This fund provides financial security to employees upon retirement, resignation, or in case of emergencies.
📋 EPF Applicability Criteria
EPF registration is mandatory for all establishments employing 20 or more employees. However, businesses with fewer employees may opt for voluntary registration to provide social security benefits to their workforce.
