About PF Registration & Monthly Returns
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
An establishment must register with EPFO once it employs 20 or more persons, and can register voluntarily below that. Employer and employee each contribute 12% of wages for covered employees, paid monthly through the electronic challan-cum-return (ECR) by the 15th of the following month. The statutory wage ceiling was raised to ₹25,000 a month from 17 September 2026.
Late PF payment carries damages and interest, and the employer's share paid late isn't deductible for income tax. Employees' contributions deposited after the due date are also disallowed under Section 36(1)(va), so deadlines matter for both EPFO and tax.
We register the establishment, generate and link UANs with Aadhaar, file ECRs, process transfers and withdrawals, and respond to EPFO inspections.
