Voluntary PF coverage under EPF act for software company with 17 employees

Please let me know whether the option is there for voluntary PF coverage under EPF Act. In one software company, there are only 17 employees. Can we go for PF coverage?

Yes, there is an option for Voluntary Coverage. The PF Department will be glad to cover your establishment under the EPF Act.

Hi Srinath,

Thanks for your reply. In the online registration, it is showing "input details," where we have to mention the date on which the total number of employees crossed 19. However, in our organization, there are only 17 employees as of November 17. Please clarify.

Hi,

On the top of the application form online, mark the voluntary coverage application as the "Act does not apply" option. Then, at the bottom, it will ask for the number of employees on the date of application and the agreement date.
