Registering for EPF with Just 2 Employees: What Documents Do We Need?

Kindly provide the details of the required documents list to register in EPF. The company has only 2 employees. It is a private limited company.

As per the PF Act, any organization with more than 20 employees is eligible to register under the EPF Scheme. Since you have only 2 employees currently, you need to wait for the employee strength to exceed 20. However, let me know if you need an EPF number for getting a contract or if it is made compulsory to fill a tender or so. In that case, I would advise you accordingly.
