The statutory frame we work in.
Questions we hear often.
At what employee strength does EPF become mandatory?
+
EPF is mandatory for establishments employing 20 or more employees. Once covered, coverage continues even if employee count falls below 20. Voluntary coverage is available for smaller establishments.
What is the Basic Wage for EPF computation?
+
PF contributions are calculated on "basic wages" which includes basic pay, dearness allowance, and retaining allowance but excludes HRA, overtime, bonuses, and commission. Structuring salary components incorrectly to reduce PF liability is a common compliance risk.
What happens if PF is not remitted on time?
+
Interest at 12% per annum applies on delayed deposits. In addition, damages under Section 14B can be levied at 5%–25% of the shortfall depending on the period of delay. Criminal prosecution is possible for continued default.
