WHAT IS PF REGISTRATION
Provident Fund (PF) registration is the process by which an organization enrolls itself and its employees with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) in India. This registration is mandatory for businesses with 20 or more employees, though smaller organizations can voluntarily opt in. PF registration ensures that both the employer and employees contribute a portion of their salary towards a provident fund, which acts as a long-term savings scheme for employees.
The process involves submitting the required documents, such as the company’s PAN, proof of incorporation, and employee details, to the EPFO. Upon successful registration, the organization receives an Establishment Code, and employees are assigned Universal Account Numbers (UANs). This system ensures that employees have access to their PF accounts throughout their careers, regardless of job changes. PF registration promotes financial security for employees by providing a retirement savings corpus and other benefits such as insurance and pension.
