The EPF Scheme, established by the government, is a social security initiative to promote savings among employees and ensure post-retirement benefits such as pensions. Through regular contributions deducted from their salaries, employees accumulate savings over time. Upon retirement or leaving their jobs, these savings can be accessed as a lump sum payment.

Under the EPF scheme, employers and employees contribute 12% of basic pay. While 3.67% of the employer's contribution is directed to the employee's EPF account, the remaining 8.33% is allocated to the Employees Pension Fund (EPF).

Employees can withdraw EPF amounts upon retirement (at or after 58 years of age), unemployment for two months, or in the event of death before the specified retirement age.

  • Even organizations with fewer than 20 employees have the option to register for PF benefits voluntarily.
  • Employers with PF registration are mandated to file monthly returns to maintain compliance with regulations.
