    Solution

    Employees Provident Fund (EPF) is a scheme under the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. It is regulated under the purview of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). EPF registration is mandatory for all establishments- which is a factory engaged in any industry having 20 or more persons, and to any other establishment employing 20 or more persons or class of such establishments which the Central Government may, by notification specify on this behalf.                                                                                                                                     An establishment with less than 20 employees can also register voluntarily.
