Dear Nimisha,
EPF eligibility register is maintained in order to allot EPF code to every employee and have record of all employees employed in an Organisation whether exempted or covered under EPF.
The name of every employee must be mentioned on EPF eligibility register. During EPF inspection the PF Enforcement Officer will demand for the said register and it must be duly-filled.
The format is attached.
Warm regards,
