Neem Employees and EPF: Are Companies Skipping Obligations and What Could Happen Next?

Neem Employees and EPF Coverage

As per the PF Act, Neem employees are covered under EPF and are not exempted. However, many companies, like Team Lease, are not paying EPF for Neem employees. Is this correct? What action will be taken by the PF department?

Compliance Issues with EPFO Registration

Why only for Neem employees? There are many organizations that are supposed to be covered under EPFO, but they have not registered and are not compliant. Even after registration, many employers are not adhering properly to the regulations.

There are significant gaps in the systems. In this particular case, if it is officially reported to the EPFO office in the area, they may take action.
