How to Register for PF with Less Than 20 Employees in a Small Company?

Dear Seniors, I have joined a company in Lucknow that is involved in road projects. We currently have an employee strength of 5, which may extend to 10. Now, the company wants to have PF coverage for fewer than 20 employees. Please let me know the procedure.

Thanks,
Aditya Gupta

Regarding your query on the above subject, you can register your organization voluntarily and also cover your employees under the EPF Act-1952 Rules if the strength is less than 20.

You can have your company registered under section 1(4) of the EPF Act. You need to apply for the coverage of your establishment in the specified format with consent from the employer. The employees will also need to give their consent.

Apart from these documents, all the other required documents for the coverage are to be filed with the RPFC office.

You need to fill out Form 01 under the EPF Act and submit the same to RPFC with relevant documents. After that, they will allot the Establishment Code to your organization. Once you receive the Establishment Code, you can start the monthly contribution process.
