Overview

PF Registration (Provident Fund Registration) is the process by which an employer registers with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to contribute towards the PF account of employees. It is mandatory for businesses with 20 or more employees, and voluntary for smaller establishments that choose to enrol.
