About EPF Registration & Returns
Provident fund compliance is a monthly discipline: wages must be reported, contributions calculated, and payment made by the due date. Errors affect your employees' accounts and invite interest and damages from the EPFO. We register your establishment, set up the employer portal and take care of the monthly ECR and payment cycle.
What is EPF Registration & Returns?
The Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) is a retirement savings scheme run by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) under the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Employer and employee each contribute a percentage of basic wages and dearness allowance, and each employee gets a Universal Account Number (UAN).
Registration is mandatory for establishments with 20 or more employees, and voluntary registration is available for smaller ones. After registration the employer files a monthly Electronic Challan cum Return (ECR) on the EPFO Unified Portal. The four Labour Codes came into force on 21 November 2025; EPFO continues to operate through its notified procedures, so we follow the latest circulars.

EPF Registration & Returns - FAQs
When is EPF registration compulsory?
An establishment with 20 or more employees in a covered industry or activity must register. Smaller establishments can register voluntarily. We check your headcount and activity.
How much PF is deducted from salary?
The employee contribution is generally 12% of basic wages and dearness allowance, with the employer contributing a matching rate split into EPF and the pension scheme. The wage ceiling and exceptions are set in the scheme, so we apply the current rules.
What is UAN?
The Universal Account Number is a 12-digit number given to each member and remains the same across jobs. All PF accounts of a member are linked to it.
What if I deposit PF late?
Interest and damages apply to delayed contributions under the Act. File and pay on time, and if already delayed, let us help compute and settle the dues.
Can an employee on a high salary be excluded?
Employees joining on wages above the statutory ceiling may be non-covered under the scheme, unless the employer and employee opt in. We apply this rule while preparing your employee list.
