Benefits of PF Registration

Provident Fund (PF) Registration is a statutory requirement under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. It is a government-managed retirement savings scheme that ensures employees receive financial support after their retirement. Employers with a certain number of employees are required to register with the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO) and contribute towards the PF fund on behalf of their employees.

Why is PF Registration Important?
