Provident Fund Registration

Provident Fund Registration

The registration of an establishment under the provident fund organisation becomes mandatory, the moment total number of employees in the organisation reaches twenty in number. To count the statutory limit of 20 even contract employees are counted apart from the employees employed through a subsidiary company. You should be very careful in determining the eligibility of your organisation for PF enrolment. The application for the EPFO Coverage should be made within 30 days of reaching the threshold limit of the twenty. The application for PF Registration is made online with the Digital Signature of one director or the Authorised Signatory of the company. We assist you to ascertain the coverage and applicability of the PF and file application for registration on your behalf to the PF Office, draft all documents and do a follow up with the department for issuance of the registration number of the establishment.

Important point for PF registration

  • Compulsory registration: The establishment employing 20 or more employees is required to obtain registration with the PF department within 30 days of reaching that number. This number is irrespective of salary.
  • Voluntary registration: The employer with the consent of its employee can also seek optional coverage for its establishment so that their employees avail the benefit of the provident fund.
  • Meaning of employee: Full-time employees, part-time employees, employees working at home, contract employees /full-time consultants.
  • ESIC with PF registration: As the PF registration is required only when the number of employees reaches 20, hence ESIC registration is also necessary as is required to be obtained when the number of employees reaches 10.
