When registering your company with the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), you should mention the actual date of establishment of your company. In your case, this would be February 2019.
The EPFO requires this information to determine the applicability of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. According to this Act, any establishment with 20 or more employees must register with the EPFO.
Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the registration process:
1. Visit the EPFO website at
https://www.epfindia.gov.in/site_en/index.php.
2. Click on 'Establishments' under the 'Services' tab.
3. Select 'Registration' from the drop-down menu.
4. Fill in the required details, including your company's date of establishment, which is February 2019 in your case.
5. Submit the form online.
Remember, it's important to provide accurate information to avoid any legal issues in the future. If you need further assistance, consider consulting with a labor law expert or an HR professional.
