PF registration is the process by which businesses and employers enroll with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to participate in the Provident Fund (PF) scheme. This essential step ensures that employees are part of a mandatory savings and pension scheme, providing them with financial security for retirement, medical emergencies, or unforeseen events. At Kickstart Business Advisors, we offer expert assistance to simplify the PF registration process, ensuring your compliance with regulatory requirements and allowing you to focus on your core business operations.

The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) Scheme is a crucial social security initiative by the Indian government aimed at fostering employee savings and ensuring financial support post-retirement. This scheme helps employees build a substantial retirement corpus through regular contributions from both the employee and employer.

• Retirement: Withdraw funds upon reaching retirement age of 58.
• Unemployment: Access funds if unemployed for over two months.
• Early Withdrawal: Permitted under specific conditions such as severe illness.
• Death: Funds become accessible to nominated beneficiaries in case of death before retirement age.

Employers must obtain Provident Fund (PF) registration under the following conditions:

All employees are eligible for the Provident Fund from the start of their employment, with contributions managed by the employer. The typical contribution structure is:

Businesses with fewer than 20 employees are not mandated to register under the EPF Act. However, voluntary registration is available and often recommended to provide additional benefits to employees.

Apply for PF registration online through the EPFO’s official website. After your application is reviewed and approved, you will receive an EPF code, which is essential for managing your EPF accounts.
