We are registered with EPFO, Bangalore Karnataka for the past 15 years. Coverage includes all our branch employees in Mumbai, Ahmedabad & Delhi.We are closing down our office at Bangalore. Hence:
* whether we have to register with EPFO in Mumbai, Ahmedabad and Delhi and apply for transfer of a/cs to respective branches?
Notes: 1) No. of staff in all these 3 branches are less than 20.
2) All our employees salaries are more than the cap wages of Rs. 6500/- per month.

Please suggest best possible solution for our query.

Dear Member
Firstly the company has to decide any one location ( Mumbai, Ahmedabad or Delhi) and then apply for the PF number. The PF number changes from State to State. The Company will create new PF account number for all employees. There are two options:
(i) Either employee withdraws all his/her amount deposited in PF account in Bangalore.
(ii) The employee can transfer his/her PF amount to the new PF account number.

If You are already registered with EPFO in Banglore and your head office is in banglore so you dont have any need to take any Other PF No. for your Branches in Mumbai Delhi etc. you can submit all employees PF Amount in Banglore itself. For every location registration is required in ESIC not in PF for PF you can submit contribution from where you are registered
