Overview
The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a mandatory retirement savings scheme governed by the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Every establishment employing 20 or more persons must register with the EPFO and contribute 12% of each employee's basic wages plus DA to the fund.
EPF registration not only ensures legal compliance but also makes your company attractive to talent — PF benefits are a key expectation for salaried employees. Non-compliance can result in penalties up to ₹25,000 and imprisonment up to 3 years.
Big4India handles your complete EPFO registration, helps you set up compliant payroll processes, and ensures you understand your monthly and annual PF filing obligations from Day 1.
