Relocating Your Business to Gujarat? How to Get a New PF Establishment Code

Dear All,

I would like to get your opinion. Our company, registered at the Registrar of Companies (RoC) in Karnataka, has recently undergone a complete shift to Gujarat. Consequently, we have closed our office in Karnataka. We have not paid any PF, even with NIL challan, since all employees are highly paid and below 10.

With this transition, I have an important query regarding our Employee Provident Fund (PF) registration in Gujarat. Since we have relocated, I would like to inquire about the possibility of obtaining a new establishment code for Gujarat in the PF system.

Could you please provide me with information on the process of obtaining a new establishment code for Gujarat in the PF system, if possible?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your guidance and support.

Hi, If you have already obtained an Establishment code for PF in Karnataka, then the same can be used in Gujarat as well.

EPF Management Across India

EPF is a central Act and managed centrally. One code is enough to manage across India. If you have changed the entire operation from Bangalore to Ahmedabad, you need to apply for a change of address so that it will be helpful for communications.
