What is PF Registration?

The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement savings scheme mandated by the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 for establishments employing 20 or more persons. Under EPF, both the employer and employee contribute 12% each of the employee's (basic pay + DA) to the EPF account. The employer's 12% is split: 8.33% goes to EPS (Employees' Pension Scheme) and 3.67% to EPF. An additional 0.5% EDLI (Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance) is paid by the employer.

EPF registration gives each employee a Universal Account Number (UAN) that stays with them throughout their career, allowing seamless PF transfer when they change jobs. Employees can withdraw their PF balance for medical emergencies, home purchase, marriage, and retirement.

Non-compliance attracts penalties, attachment of bank accounts, and prosecution under Section 14B of the EPF Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can establishments with less than 20 employees voluntarily register for PF?

Yes — voluntary registration is permitted under Section 1(4) of the EPF Act. This is beneficial when employees expect PF benefits as part of their CTC package and for credibility with large corporate clients who require PF compliance from vendors.

What is the EDLI scheme under EPF?

Employees' Deposit Linked Insurance (EDLI) provides a life insurance benefit to the nominee of an EPF member in case of death during service. The benefit can be up to ₹7 lakh. The employer pays 0.5% of basic wages toward EDLI — employees pay nothing.
