Comprehensive EPF compliance for foreign nationals working in India and Indian workers employed abroad. We handle registration, contribution calculations, and claims under the EPFO's International Worker scheme and Social Security Agreements (SSA).
Seamless Cross-Border EPF
An International Worker (IW) includes foreign nationals working in India (excluding those from countries with Social Security Agreements that provide exemption) and Indian workers employed abroad. IWs are mandatorily covered under the EPF & MP Act, with contributions on full salary. Special rules apply regarding Social Security Agreements (SSAs) with countries like USA, UK, Germany, France, etc., where contributions may be exempted or coordinated. Our experts ensure correct classification, timely registration, accurate contribution calculation, and hassle-free claims for international workers and their employers.
Foreign nationals often face delays in UAN generation due to passport and visa documentation issues.
Workers from SSA countries may claim exemption; proper documentation required.
Salary ceiling not applicable for IWs – contributions on full salary, causing confusion for employers.
When leaving India, IWs need to withdraw EPF balance and remit funds overseas – complex process.
Working in India while already covered by home country's social security – coordination required.
Different document requirements for foreign nationals vs Indian citizens.
Determine if the worker qualifies as IW, check for SSA applicability, and identify required documents.
Assist with EPF registration, obtain UAN, and ensure proper linking with passport details.
If applicable, file for exemption under Social Security Agreement with Certificate of Coverage (CoC).
