Provident fund registration becomes mandatory the day your establishment employs twenty people, and voluntary registration earlier is common because employees value it. Once covered, always covered, so the setup deserves care.
Krishna TaxNova obtains your EPF code, structures wages correctly for PF, generates UANs for employees and runs the monthly ECR filing so contributions land on time every month.
What is EPF Registration?
The Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act covers establishments with twenty or more employees. Employer and employee each contribute twelve percent of PF wages, with the employer share split between EPF and pension. Registration happens on the EPFO employer portal, and monthly ECR (electronic challan cum return) filing with payment falls due by the fifteenth.
Who Should Apply for EPF Registration?
- Establishments reaching twenty employees
- Startups registering voluntarily to attract talent
- Contractors needing PF codes for client compliance
- Businesses hiring through contractors who must verify PF flows

Client Compliance
Principal employers demand PF compliance from vendors; a live code wins contracts.
