Does your business need PF registration?
- 20 employees or more
- ₹25,000 a month or less in PF wages: these staff must join
PF (Provident Fund, also called EPF) gives your staff savings and a pension. Your business must register for PF when it has 20 or more employees, in any industry.
Count all your staff:
- temporary and casual staff
- workers a contractor sends to work for you
- staff on high salaries
Don't count: apprentices (trainees under the Apprentices Act), the owner of the business, or its partners. Is your business a company? Call us to check how to count directors.
Once PF applies, it stays. It does not stop if your staff later drop below 20.
Staff with PF wages (mainly basic pay plus DA, dearness allowance) up to ₹25,000 a month must be in PF. We check this for you.

Who's behind it
35 years our founder worked at EPFO (the PF office)
Medu Thirumaleshwara Bhat started Medu Consultancy in 2000. He worked at EPFO (the PF office) for 35 years. He taught us the PF rules. So we know which documents and details a new PF registration needs.
After registration
PF must be paid every month, by the 15th of the next month.
Each month, the employee pays 12% of their PF wages, and you pay 12%. You take the employee's part from their salary. Part of your share goes to the employee's pension (EPS, the Employees' Pension Scheme). We work out the exact amounts.
We can do this work for you every month. You send us salary details. We file your monthly PF return (the ECR: the monthly list of each employee's wages and PF, sent to the PF office) and email you the challan (the PF payment slip). Pay it by the 15th of the next month, or send us the amount and we pay it.
We never miss a PF or ESI due date.

Common questions
Just a few hours, once we have all your documents. Staff who already have a UAN keep it. Others get one with a quick face scan on the UMANG app. We guide them.
It depends on your type of business. Call us and we'll tell you exactly what to send.
Once PF applies to your business, staff whose PF wages are ₹25,000 a month or less must be in PF. PF wages are mainly basic pay plus DA (dearness allowance), not the full salary. But PF wages must be at least half the total pay. If they come to less, the difference is added to PF wages. We work this out for you. Staff with PF wages above ₹25,000: if they were never in PF, they can join if you and they both agree in writing. If they are already in PF, they stay in PF.
The limit went up from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 on 17 September 2026. For September 2026 salaries, the PF office has not yet said which limit to use. Call us and we'll tell you what to do.
Almost always, yes. ESI applies from 10 employees (except seasonal factories), so a business with 20 or more staff usually needs ESI too. ESI covers staff whose ESI wages are ₹21,000 a month or less (₹25,000 for a person with a disability). We can register you for both. See ESI registration for employers.
It depends on your business and what you need. Asking is free. Call us and we'll give you a quote.
