Non-compliance with\nthis mandate will lead to heavy penalties. Once an establishment has been\ngranted EPF registration and even if the employee strength falls far beyond the\nrequired minimum, they are required to follow the mandate under the EPF Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Central Government may, by notification, make the\nprovisions of the EPF Act applicable to establishments having less than 20\nemployees after giving such establishment and notice not less than two months\nfor compulsory registration. Where the majority of the employees and the\nemployer have mutually agreed other provisions of the EPF Act should apply to\nthe establishment, they themselves can apply to the Central Commissioner for\nProvident Fund.

However, employees drawing\na salary of more than \u20b915,000 per month makes them non eligible\nemployees and its not mandatory for such employees to become a member of the\nEPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All such employees shall be eligible for PF from the day the\nemployment commences, and the responsibility of such deduction lies with the\nemployer along with payment of the PF. 12% of PF contribution must be divided\nequally between the employee and the employer.

The 12% contribution to be made by the\nemployer is calculated by taking the following into consideration as well-\nbasic wages, retaining allowance, and dearance allowance. The employee is also\nrequired to make an equal contribution. If there are less than 20 employees in\nan organization, then the contribution rate by both the employer and employee shall\nbe 10% of the salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the 12% or 10% contribution of the employers, the\nEmployees\u2019 Pension Scheme shall receive 8.33% of the contribution. However, it\nshould be calculated at \u20b915,000 for every employee receiving a salary\nof \u20b915,000 or more. Thus, for every such employee, \u20b91250 is transferred to the Employees\u2019 Pension Scheme. In\ncontrast, if the basic salary is less than \u20b915,000, then 8.33% of the whole amount shall\nbe transferred to the Employees\u2019 Pension Scheme. Any balance other than this\n8.33% is transferred to the EPF scheme.

Some of the important\nreasons to obtain an EFPO registration are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Coverage of Risk: <\/strong>The most essential benefit that the Provident fund provides to the employees is to cover the risk that employees or their dependents might face due to death or illness, or retirement.<\/li><li><strong>Uniform Account:<\/strong> One of the most vital aspects of the provident fund is that the account is constant and transferable.

The PF fund can be extremely beneficial during these times. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Long-Term Loans<\/strong>:  The money accumulated in the PF fund can be used to meet the paucity of funds for certain milestones or long term events like a wedding or for higher education.  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Pension Coverage<\/strong>:  The PF fund can always be used to add to one&#8217;s pension fund. Other than the 12% of the employee\u2019s salary to the EPF, the employer shall also be required to contribute an equal amount, which shall also include 8.33% to the Employee Pension Scheme or EPS. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Tax-Free Interest and Withdrawals<\/strong>: Interest on the EPF shall be tax free along with EPF withdrawals.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>EPF Contribution by the government in certain situations<\/strong>: The government has offered to pay the EPF contribution on the employer\u2019s behalf for a period of three years for new employees and women employees hired before March 2019.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Reduction in EPF Contribution for Women Employees<\/strong>: To increase the take home salary for women employees, the government has reduced the EPF contribution to % for women employees.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Exclusion_from_wages_under_EPF\"><\/span>Exclusion from wages under EPF<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The below mentioned shall be excluded while calculating PF\ndeduction from the wages of the employees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Bonus<\/li><li>Food\nallowance<\/li><li>Overtime\nAllowance or OTA<\/li><li>Dearance\nAllowance or DA<\/li><li>House\nRent Allowance or HRA<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pre-requisites_for_obtaining_an_EPF_Registration\"><\/span>Pre-requisites for obtaining an EPF Registration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every employer is required to register their\nestablishment online in relation to EPF registration.
