Every company has to offer its employees an EPF or Employees Provident Fund which is akin to a retirement fund. EPF comes under the purview of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
EPF registration is mandatory for organizations with total employee strength more than 20. Such employers can opt for online PF registration.
The application for PF Registration is made online with the Digital Signature of one director or the Authorised Signatory of the company.
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 employee reaches 10.
However, it can also be taken on a voluntary basis with the consent of its employees. A copy of the declaration by the majority of the employee of opting for voluntary registration is attached with the Form.
