Employee Provident Fund (EPF) is a scheme that offers retirement benefits to all the salaried employees irrespective of working in Government or Public or Private Sector organizations. The term, “employee” includes the range starting from experienced professionals to Security Guards, Housekeeping, etc. However, an apprentice, intern, and a migrating employee are excluded from the ambit of the EPF Scheme. EPF registration is regulated and administered by the EPFO (Employee Provident Fund Organization).

The companies or the entity having employee strength of twenty or more employees is required to get itself registered under the EPF scheme. However, the organizations having less than twenty employees can also voluntarily apply for the EPF Registration. Moreover, the Co-operative Societies are required to have employee strength of fifty or more for obtaining EPF Registration. It shall be noteworthy to note that the companies are required to obtain EPF registration within one month from hiring twenty employees or it may result in a penalty.

The Employee Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, act as the governing law for the EPF Registration. As per this act, both the employer and employee are mandatorily required to contribute 12 percent of their basic wage to the respective EPF account. One of the most significant benefits of having an EPF account is that the EPF numbers remains the same even after changing jobs.
