Even if you have less than 20 employees, you can voluntarily register under EPF to provide retirement benefits to your team. Get expert guidance on voluntary coverage and compliance.
Voluntary PF Coverage
Under the EPF & MP Act, 1952, establishments with 20 or more employees are mandatorily covered. However, smaller establishments with less than 20 employees can voluntarily opt for EPF coverage by mutual agreement between employer and employees. This allows you to offer PF benefits to attract and retain talent, build employee trust, and enjoy the same compliance framework as larger organizations. We help you navigate the voluntary registration process, from application to ongoing compliance.
